quitting invalid happiness (Eating junk foods, drinking alcoholics, wearing
de-symbiotic clothes … making TOO MUCH MONEY).

All invalid happiness makes short time happiness, long
time suffering, and finally human self-extinction.

Unfortunately, the moderator immediately took down the thread. And it is the only forum left where people can discuss it openly. But now even that is gone. This is an issue of its own.

In practically every single forums people trying to address this gets their thread banned , locked, or remove. It seems that openly addressing these issues is not possible these days.

“Politicians and Media avoid the topic Islam, and critics of Islam are ignored at best, but far more often defamed, pathologized and criminalized. We need a factual discussion on Islam in both politics and the Media.”

Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel has made a homepage: Dialogue about the future — how do we want to live together. Here the Germans can give suggestions on what they think is most important for their country. There are currently 4,109 suggestions, that everybody can vote for. The suggestion with by far the most votes is “Open discussion on Islam”.

The noise is Samsara. The opening of the mind will be pure Nirvana.
