Essence of Whole Spirituality
There are two main things in spirituality. one for inside deep unconscious mind. and another for the outer conscious mind.
For inner deep unconscious mind:
Stop reacting to your feelings, sorrows, pleasures. Start observing.
For outer conscious mind:
Give to others what you expect from others for yourself. And don't give to others what you don't expect from others for yourself.
Spiritual logic is very short and simple.

they are lucky who get a chance to choose between right and wrong
Life does not always give a chance to choose between right and wrong, sometimes there are only wrong and you have to choose one wrong out of many wrongs.

Buying MORE of things I already own...
I used to have 3 computer systems. One in my office, one in my home office and one personal. Each of them had dual monitors. This dates back more than 10 years ago when I started upgrading to 27" screens with 1920 x 1200 resolution.
The proportion of these monitors represented a sheet of 11 x 17 inch paper that I used for engineering drawings, so what I saw on the screen printed with the same proportion.
I bought I-INC brand from Tiger Direct and recall buying at least 6 of them. After 2 years, a few started 'blanking out' and my research showed some of the capacitors in the power supply failed. eBay sold repair kits to change all the capacitors, so I took them to a local repair shop and had them fixed. The shop closed and I found another shop who also fixed one and life was good. One more monitor stopped working and due to COVID, the repair shop since closed.
Industry changes and a different perspective to match wide-screen TV's with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 became popular, so I bought 2 quad density monitors, but my favorites are the older ones.
Now that I'm working from home, I'm running 3 workstations... 5 actually, but don't tell anyone. A friend came over and thought I was working for NASA!
Along the way (3 years ago) I bought a 32" monitor for business graphics and did some computer upgrades earlier this year that included 2 computers and another 32" monitor.
Last weekend I installed the new monitor... my eyes aren't getting better as they say, but I'm using it in quad-density mode so everything is smaller. Yeah, kinda defeats the purpose of a larger screen. I'll get to that at another time. The video is flawless!
This week I ordered some external hard drive connectors so I can do backups and clone my systems. I know I bought these things in the past, but since my move, they are stacked in bins in my patio and I'm not wanting to go through them... But, I needed a power strip and unable to find any in the condo, so I opened a bin only to find one of the external connectors just like the one I order to arrive today. Groan...
I really don't have firm plans on retirement and I didn't take on any big projects last month so this month, I'll be slacking and available to actually do some home projects (upgrade the closet shelving, change out the shower rod & curtain, move the toaster to the kitchen) like a real kitchen renovation that's been on my list for 3 years now. Mmmm... maybe next month.
One of my projects is to set up a digital music station. I've got the software, computers, monitor, MIDI sound processor, piano MIDI keyboard, guitars, basses, MIDI woodwind controller, I can be a one man band and do some recording. Since it's all acoustic and digital, I can keep the volume low... unlike when I played Irish (Uilleann) bagpipes and my roommate said she could hear me practice all the way to the sidewalk!
5 guitars and 4 basses... Not planning to add to the heard.
But I've been thinking about that bass amplifier that produces 500 hundred watts!
It will be perfect if I get invited to a jam session.
Where did I put that power strip. I know I saw it around here... somewhere.

I am not ready for more responsibility.
After the disaster that was last week, I did some thinking over the weekend, and I came to the conclusion, that I am simply not ready to be the one who closes the warehouse. It was way too early to give me that responsibility, which I told my boss today.
I relayed what happened last week, and I told him straight up, that it was way too early for me to be able to close by myself, and that I required more training in order to do that. Ease me in to the whole closing routine. I also need my other coworkers to play ball with me, and make sure that I take over something that isn't a total dumpster fire. By 4 pm, we need to have everything packed up, so I only have to focus on the remaining few orders.
My boss was very understanding, and told me that he heard a similar story from one of the other people that work there, so we both agreed that I need more training. Now, I'm gonna be trained properly, this time. Maybe in a few months, I am ready to have the responsibility of closing up shop, but until then, it's business as usual

Mercy-Kindness paradox
The definition of mercy-kindness varies from person to person.
For meat eaters, it is different.
For vegetarians, it is different.
For vegans, it is different.
For butchers, it is different.
For politicians, it is different.
For terrorists, it is different.
For military persons, it is different.
For ordinary persons, it is different.
For different religions, it is different.
For saints, it is different.
etc.
The harshest truth of life is: "killing for living"
Everyone justifies killing in their own way.
The most common justification is: "unnecessary killing is wrong"
But the necessities are not limited, not defined. So the necessities are increasing and the killings are also increasing.
Killing can't be stopped, so a new word was coined to justify killing: "Mercy-Killing".
Killing and kindness go hand in hand.

our favourites,,,,
when we look in our ward robes ,how often do we choose our favourite shirt or blouse trousers or slacks ,
shoes are another thing where we have a pair that are so comfortable that they are a delight to wear,
and yet we never buy two ,
it is only after they have disappeared from the shops that we wish we had bought a second pair,
in reality most of the clothes and shoes that we buy , we very rarely wear,,
the same applies to your cooker why do we always choose the same gas ring or electric ring to cook on if only using one pot or pan,,
the same applies with driving to work or the shops ,,the same route taken time after time ,,
which in turn makes us creatures of habit or does it have to be this way,,
i always started my day with a cup of tea and later followed by coffee,,
but i changed my habit by alternating my morning drinks, and also changed my drive into the city and so i see and do things differently which actually makes the drive more enjoyable and not the hum drum that it used to be ,
it is surprising that small changes to the norm actually affect your senses and adds to your awareness ,,,
