No-Man's Land: Myanmar building concrete structure

[Nilgiri]

I would have asked Br. @Nilgiri but I think he is beginning to love you all for some inexplicable reason.

Just balancing and moderating....I went all out for a bit too long and didn't really enjoy it all that much in the end at all (Esp what I was becoming, which was not me). The real poignant criticisms were losing their lustre as well etc (when I prefer those to stay sharp and honed).

Also this forum needs to have better equivalent standards for all nationalities and all members (and it is eternally searching for it still)....otherwise what ended up happening is people start to undermine (what I feel I stand for) by thinking my loud focus in one area and (enforced) silence in another...means I can be directed and used at their whim and fancy and even for larger arguments (against even my own country and its interests in the end). I abhor being used by others (like some instrument of hate) to try prove a totally foreign unrelated argument.

Till I see change in this forum's de facto policies (whatever it says de jure) and common standards (as close as can be given the wide range of memberships and ideas presented for that) for all, I am not going to deploy my time and arguments in any more lopsided spread for that simply to be abused by nefarious forces here. If it achieves such, I will be glad to again dive in deeply to start poking around at the raison d'etre kind of stuff (but again I would need to be afforded that same opportunity for other countries too and see it present for everyone in some equivalent way...not just BD).

How it may all manifest to another as sudden love or hate for something compared to before, is not really my concern anymore.

Suffice to say, I never had any real hate for BD (as something larger past a few despicable members here), in fact I have no real hate for any country in the world (at large).....just I was foolish (in hindsight) to think I could wait out the rest of the forum to evolve into a fairer environment (somewhat like found here)...... and thus practiced my craft here in the interim in anticipation of that. But it never came, so I similarly see no point in continuing....heck 2019 I made my peace with @padamchen too since that was really a sapping affair as well for me....again because I over-commited to some assumptions (this time on my side).

All those that need to be chastised here (in this subforum), have been so...all those that have proven themselves to be credible opponents have similarly earned my respect...basically its about the best result I could hope for in the end given the circumstances.

There is not much left to be done in the earlier combat strategy I used....it has evolved now (I have a transitioning set of objectives as well)....and I really wont be looking back....not till the environment actually changes anyway ...to better allow for it everywhere (and fairly) and not just here....but that is beyond my control.

do you really believe that I am trying to use you against India and Bengaldesh?

No not you my friend....you have always been straight shooter for me.

I am talking about certain others.

Bangladesh is not our enemy.

Neither is Myanmar.

The only guys internally who take sides are sanghis. For obvious reasons.

We are too big to align ourselves with either.

If anything it is in our interest to pull the south east Asian countries into our sphere.

Being hostile against them does not help.

Cheers, Doc

I never really went for the whole "country scale" side of such implications etc...among the members that know me better here now.

What I did/don't regret/continue-to-do....is the ego crush of individuals. Stuff gets dragged into that somewhat inevitably...and I'd rather mitigate and refine that better now.

What I've realised over time is that how we interact with nationalities here over a period of time does build a narrative within us.

We in the end represent the flags we fly. Regardless of personal drivers.

Yep...better late than never in my case I suppose.

I am glad to see the tender, protective interest that @Nilgiri and @padamchen have begun taking in Bangladesh. Better inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in, I guess.

@jbgt90

Meanwhile a senile or infantile (can't figure out which childhood the creature inhabits) couple have been firing red herrings at each other.

What a thread!

I'm just happy to see you having conversations with your people in Bengali.

At heart, we are all tribalists.

Cheers, Doc

Hah!

I've had conversations in various languages on other fora before this, and it only underlines my sense of displacement. Like belonging to a place and never being able to live there.

You Marathis won't understand the feeling.

I don't know what's worse.

Being a refugee on someone else's land.

Or being a refugee on your own.

What do you think?

How would I know? I only know being a refugee on someone else's land, and picking up enough to merge into the background.

It's all in our mind and if someone is unhappy then he/she always looking for someone to blame so he/she can avoid introspect which hurts the foundation of person itself.

@Nilgiri i am happy for you to remove discontent from your heart as only thing i didn't like from your internet character was that.

"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

 

[padamchen]

"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

Forgiveness is reconciling to the inevitability of the impossibility of righting a wrong.

I believe only Ahura Mazda punishes or forgives.

A Mazdayasni just fights on the right side.

We have different culture and practices and there is no right and wrong in the universe just human perception. But your version sounds cool too.
