On some days, I discover small snacks or Buddhist mementos on my work desk. And I would know that some colleague(s) have gone on a trip somewhere, and returned with some souvenirs to share, putting these little treats on the desks of all colleagues the day before – on my day off. And I wouldn’t [...]

A Tit for a Tat (26)
Tit: In case you don’t know, he’s not ‘normal’, in the sense that he suffers from a mental disorder.
Tat: I see… that explains some of his less than normal behaviour.
Tit: Do be more patient than normal with him.
Tat: Yes, it’s would only be normal for me to be so, since [...]

‘Who Is It?’ is one of Michael Jackson’s lesser known hits. With news of his tragic early demise, the song suddenly came to mind. It’s the song I would remember MJ by, because I often wondered who the shapeshifting and occasionally physically veiled MJ really was, just as he wonders who the girl he’s with [...]

A Tit for a Tat (25)
Tit: The guy behind is giving unneeded commentary on the movie to his friend!
Tat: If it’s unneeded, there’s no need for you to listen. Just be mindful of the movie!
Tit: He’s not doing justice to other movie-goers by distracting them!
Tat: You’re not doing justice to the movie by being distracted [...]

Tat: Not even now?

A Tit for a Tat (23)
Tit: You should die happy… because you have done much good.
Tat: I think I will… it’s just that I happen to live unhappily.
Tit: You’re not satisfied with….?
Tat: …. with not dying happily yet!
Tit: Are you giving me material for ‘A Tit for a Tat’?
Tat: What do you think?

A Tit for a Tat (22)
Tit: Do you believe me or yourself?
Tat: I believe in Buddha.
Tit: But I have Buddha-nature.
Tat: So do I.
Tit: Why not believe yourself then?
Tat: Because I don’t totally believe I’m a Buddha within… yet!

Right after Depeche Mode’s first single ‘Wrong’ (from the ‘Sounds of the Universe’ album), which sings of intense indignation to a disturbing video (see http://moonpointer.com/new/2009/04/whats-wrong-with-wrong) comes the second single – ‘Peace’. It is the polar opposite in style and emotion (See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnHLJK_4Q8U&). Arguably, it’s DM’s most uplifting and jubilant-sounding song since ‘Just Can’t [...]

A Tit for a Tat (21)
Tit: Hey! Take a break!
Tot: How?
Tit: Have a Kit Kat!
Tot: Hey! Give a break!
Tit: Huh?
Tot: Take a break from dairy stuff – give the cows a break!
Milk-bearing cows are forcibly impregnated to give milk,
while milk is stolen by humans for dairy products,
while calves are separated from them, and never drink [...]
