80 a bit too long, definitely there will be some health issues and also if your saving can last u for 20 years?

 

Ideally anytime between 70 - 75 will be a better one , not too long nor too short.

An intelligent criterion for planning your lifespan.  But...  the only way to have it fulfilled, to have it fall within 5 years, is by...  euthanasia!  But if you don't believe in suicide, the only other way to die between 70 and 75 is to plan to be alive just by a thread at 70,  ready to pass away in the next 5 years.  So you must load yourself with a bunch of chronic illnesses and hope one will take you out after 70.

 

It is better to plan for a "health-span".  It is not so difficult to stay healthy between 70 and 80.  And with a little more work between 80 and 90.  And once you are healthy at 90,... why not continue with the good life style and plan for 100?

Before you think of when is your suitable reitrement age, it all boils down to your health which is an indicator of how long you will live or possible life expectancy.  If somone have serious medical issues like diabetic, high cholesterol, kidney issue, heart issue at the age of 30 to 40, than you probably need rethink your life expectancy and plan from there.  Most importantly spend less on unnecessities and save more for your medical bills rather think of how to use your money to buy big house, big investment, big car, big cock, big ego.

If a person starts having issues like diabetes, high cholesterol, kidney problems, heart problems  at 30 or 40...   this person should seriously start researching PREVENTIVE MEDICINE and adjust the lifestyle of nutrition, exercise to overcome these problems.  There are plenty of books, YouTube videos that provide such information from the doctors and researchers who are conscious of the deficiencies of modern medicine, all CURATIVE with luck.   This can save a fortune in "medical bills".

@Steve5380 tbh after my close brush with death several times over a span of almost two decades, leaving at 60 yo is the most appropriate age for me, imho. All has been said wrt "quality of life" but i am more concerned my "quality of death".

 

In fact we are all counting down to death on a daily basis and that's also the reason why I no longer celebrates my birthdays because it is such an insignificant day since we are counting to death and not birth. Thus, any reasons for me to celebrate another person's pain and suffering who is my mother who gave birth to me that fateful day 46yrs ago? 

 

Not being pessimistic but facing the harsh reality in life. Cheers!

Interesting video!  Makes one a believer in Buddhism with karma and reincarnation.  

 

There is one fundamental reality in life:  we don't get to chose our parents, nor the place we are born.  It could be "random"...  but can we be sure?   Why are some born in a good environment while for others it is totally the opposite?   Either our birth is determined by the rules of karma,  or we are so insignificant that it does not make any cosmic difference, ha ha.

 

Hopefully you keep the idea of karma in your mind,  so you live this life the best you can, and hope that the next time will be good, or even better.  This should fill your spirit with optimism, and look up to life instead of death.  Cheers!

Humans are highly imaginative and creative to think of ways to enhance their "the concepts of self" by introducing different realms of understanding to explain their unseens and unexplainables. Recarination and karma are just two concepts that better explain the 5W and 1H of their life experiences.

 

I also choose to believe that all men are born inherently evil (e.g. selfish) but are always on this journey of pursuing kindness and compassion. Many persisted, some gave up, others choose to just sit on the fences and let nature takes its course.

 

We are basically at a different realm of understanding on the meaning of the "quality of life vs death". Imho the in-between of optimistism and pessimism is about embracing the harsh realities in life yet choose to move on with a clearer idea that one will depart from this world ultimately, hopefully with some dignity. Glad that I am born this way to be able to experience and embrace these concepts gradually and readily with what I have experienced thus far. 

 

I hope you are at peace with the 5Ws and 1H of you as well. Have a good May @Steve5380

An interesting QnA via WhatsApp Meta AI. 

 

Q1: How can one reconciled their affectionate relationship with the same gender using the principles of I Ching?

Meta AI: A fascinating question! The I Ching, an ancient Chinese divination text, offers wisdom on harmony, balance, and the natural order. To reconcile an affectionate same-gender relationship using I Ching principles, consider the following:

 

1. Embrace the dynamic balance: I Ching teaches that opposites are complementary (yin-yang). Similarly, same-gender relationships can find balance and harmony by acknowledging and respecting each other's differences.

2. Cultivate inner truth: I Ching emphasizes self-awareness and authenticity. Be true to your feelings and identity, and encourage your partner to do the same.

3. Nurture reciprocal support: I Ching stresses the importance of mutual support and nourishment. Foster a relationship where both individuals support each other's growth and well-being.

4. Embrace the cyclical nature: I Ching teaches that life is cyclical, with phases of growth and decay. Relationships go through similar cycles; embrace the ebbs and flows, and work together to navigate challenges.

5. Find harmony in diversity: I Ching celebrates the diversity of the natural world. Same-gender relationships can find harmony by embracing their unique experiences and perspectives.

6. Seek wisdom in the present: I Ching encourages living in the present moment. Focus on the current state of your relationship and navigate it with mindfulness and compassion.

 

By applying these I Ching principles, individuals in same-gender relationships can cultivate a deeper understanding and acceptance of their love, finding harmony and balance within themselves and their partnership.

Q2: How about penarative sex between same gender? How would I ching interpretate such behaviour that deem as an "unnatural sex behaviour"?

Meta AI: I Ching's interpretation of same-gender penetrative sex would likely focus on the underlying energies and dynamics at play, rather than judgment based on societal norms or legislation. Here's a possible perspective:

 

1. Energy dynamics: I Ching would view sexual energy as a natural aspect of human experience, driven by the interplay of yin and yang forces. Same-gender penetrative sex would be seen as a manifestation of this energy dynamic, with both partners embodying and expressing different aspects of yin and yang.

2. Harmony and balance: I Ching would emphasize the importance of harmony and balance in sexual relationships, regardless of gender. If the relationship is built on mutual respect, trust, and open communication, the sexual expression would be seen as a natural extension of this harmony.

3. Cyclical nature: I Ching teaches that all things are subject to cycles and change. Sexual expression, including same-gender penetrative sex, would be viewed as part of the natural cycle of human experience, with its own ebbs and flows.

4. Inner truth and authenticity: I Ching encourages individuals to be true to themselves and their nature. If same-gender penetrative sex is a natural expression of one's inner truth and authenticity, it would be seen as aligning with the I Ching principle of embracing one's true nature.

5. Non-judgment: I Ching philosophy avoids judgment and instead focuses on understanding the underlying dynamics and energies at play. It would likely approach same-gender penetrative sex with a neutral, observational perspective, rather than condemning or condoning it based on societal norms or legislation.

 

It's important to note that I Ching is an ancient text, and its interpretation should be adapted to modern contexts with sensitivity and respect.

 

Additionally, while I Ching offers a philosophical perspective, it's crucial to acknowledge the legal and social realities that individuals in same-gender relationships face.

Q3: Sounds like it's permissible in Singapore?

Meta AI: Yes and no, from an I Ching perspective, same-gender penetrative sex would be viewed as a natural expression of human sexuality and energy dynamics, as long as it is consensual, respectful, and harmonious. The I Ching philosophy emphasizes individual authenticity, balance, and harmony, rather than judgment or condemnation based on societal norms or legislation.

 

It's essential to remember that I Ching is a philosophical text, not a legal or moral authority. While it can offer a unique perspective on human experience, it's crucial to consider the legal and social realities that individuals in same-gender relationships face, and to advocate for their rights and dignity.

 

In Singapore, despite the I Ching's permissive view, same-gender relationships are still subject to legal restrictions and social stigma. It's vital to promote inclusivity, understanding, and acceptance, and to work towards a more inclusive and compassionate society for all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Because we know too well by now that..... MetaAI is as equally powerful as ChatGpt. 

 

"The Road Less Traveled" is also the title of a book by M. Scott Peck, published in 1978. The book is a psychological and spiritual guide to personal growth and self-discovery.

 

The title is inspired by Frost's poem, but Peck's book explores themes such as:

 

- Personal responsibility
- Emotional awareness
- Spiritual growth
- Relationships and love
- Self-discovery

 

Peck argues that personal growth and self-discovery require taking the "less traveled" road, which involves facing challenges, overcoming fears, and developing emotional awareness.

The book has become a classic in the self-help and personal development genre, encouraging readers to embrace the journey of self-discovery and personal growth."

it is always beneficial to plan one's funeral much earlier. 

 

** Content in Mandarin. 

 

"... More and more locals are not only not afraid to talk about death, but also plan their own funerals in advance. The local funeral industry operators interviewed revealed that the number of people seeking this service has increased by 20% to 30% compared with before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and many of them are young and middle-aged people in good health. The industry has also found that more people want to hold a more unique funeral for themselves, so customized services are particularly popular.

 

Zheng Zhenni, managing director of Zheng Haichuan Life Ceremonies, said that if someone comes in and wants to plan his own funeral, he will first ask the reason for planning his own funeral, and then explain the details and supporting facilities of the funeral:

 

"Customization means that in some details of the funeral, they can handle it according to their own preferences. It's like choosing their favorite music and their favorite flowers. They should have their own choices and not let others make choices for them after they pass away"

 

The funeral home revealed that currently 20% of the customers who come to the door every month will consult about their funeral planning in advance, and the number has increased by 30% compared with two or three years ago. There are also more and more customers who require customized funerals..."

It is totally fine and always beneficial to not be concerned about the event of our death.  Like birth is a personal experience, so is death.  Even with family and friends around us when we die,  the process is something individual and private.  We don't need to be social at our death.  It concerns only US.  

 

Of course we should be considerate about those who will have to deal with the possessions we leave behind, and so we should have a proper testament and good information about our finances to make the job easy for our heirs.  But there should be no need to plan one's funeral.  After we die, we have no more business in this world, and what is done with our body should not concern us anymore.  We can leave instructions to facilitate its disposal, like a choice of immediate cremation or donation to a medical institution for training.

Destiny and fate are nearly synonyms.  They involve predestination.   I find that to believe that there is some predestination in us is mostly an ego trip.  We are set at birth in a body with a bunch of attributes, we don't know why,  and then the best, I think, is to believe in "cause and effect" instead of destiny or fate.  In this way, it is up to us to be the "cause" that attains a certain "effect".
