well, happy to c there are some few book lovers left, such as john and ness... my lonely life feels less alone...

for next meeting, i propose ancient greek meeting with ancient india

1 dionysos travel to india: a must read poem by nonnus of panoplis (b careful! unfortunatly too much violence, like in most greeks' public myths. they mzy have learned non-violence from india)

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dionysiaca

2 scepticism, already present in socrate's confession of ignorance, took a strong breathe when inquiring indians' culture and buddhism, starting with pirrho

therefore we may read sextus empiricus: outline of pyrrhonism

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sextus_Empiricus

ok la?

rather scaring. the dominant race does not seem to know what he is doing nor to apply caution principles

it seems unfortunatly many tibetans also do not care, for instance throwing theur garbage all over. last time i went shangrila, we spent an afternoon cleaning garbage around our master temple

i myself try to b more ecology aware and responsible. it seems that every act of consumption is bound to have ecology impact.

on final note, some tibetans believe that not respecting nature might irritate forces and create disasters. earthquakes?

Another economical/social tragedy

I wonder how one can accept systems or societies where there is no equality, neither in real life nor in chances.

But it seems the time for dreams of changing are passed these days. i hope they will come back and people will think of other ways to live in a more equalitaryan and free human society
