Siddhartha said this well:  When someone is seeking, he only sees that thing he is seeking.  He is unable to find anything, he's unable to absorb anything because he is only thinking about the thing he is seeking. Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal.

Toyota has long cultivated a reputation for quality and reliability.  There is nothing sexy about Toyota brands, but in a world of crushed American car companies, there are few affordable brands left standing that one can trust.  Toyota has also built a reputation for innovation that other manufacturers have yet to touch.

All Toyota needs to do is build a bit more sex into its cars and its branding at they will be the kings of the road.

A sincere question:  What is your life's purpose?  Take it seriously, and no comedy please.  If you can't answer instinctively and honestly, then you should be asking yourself your own set of questions.

What is it with this game?  I've never played, nor am I a gamer of any sort, but it has spread like a virus across Facebookland.  What is it about these things that sucks people and their free time in.  I don't get it, or the freaks that play.

He wants to preserve his sponsorship income.  Once he's branded a bad boy many of his endorsements will walk, just like his wife.

We have not become a perverse society, but always have been.  Human nature is full of base instincts and ugliness.  At heart, we are still the beasts that roamed the Savvanah looking for meat and shelter, although we are the only species that kills its own kind for reasons other than food.  And that's because we have brains more advanced and therefore capable of more twisted thinking.

Not a bad person if you vote to reject, just a narrow-minded, ignorant and backward person, who history will treat roughly, just like racists and bigots and anti-semites of old.

All these hospital dramas are a bit trite.  How many more traumas and incenstuous romances can an intelligent viewing audience withstand?  How about doing something original, instead of following the tired ER route into oblivion.

There is a euphemism for everything unpleasant,  from "clearing" refugee camps, to "passing on" to "passing gas".  There is nothing disrespectful about this.

As Sebastian Horsley said " The difference between sex for money and sex for free is that sex for money always costs a lot less."  Is "paid" sex for money a simple and mutually beneficial transaction (assuming there is no subjugation of the one providing the service), and more "decent" than sex for pleasure (where invariably there are always strings and expectations attached)?

Several books on the subect of sex and money are reviewed in a provocative article in this weekend's NYT book review here: http://bit.ly/19nxnN.  There is so much irony and hypocracy in Americans' views on these two pillars of power.  Something is wrong with us.
