So, lawmakers want to amend FCDA? Plunderer's answer: Hey stupid, We Find Ways!

So, lawmakers want to amend FCDA? Plunderer's answer: Hey stupid, We Find Ways!

Here we go again. Politicians and mainstream think tanks are batting to pass amendment of RA 6426 or the Foreign Currency Deposit Act. Technically they want to kill it.

The lawmakers and their avid supporters blame FCDA for the headache the prosecution gets on its failure to open Corona's dollar account for scrutiny. The culprit they say is that FCDA provides absolute confidential nature to any foreign currency account against any disclosure not approved by the account holder. Thus they feel incapacitated on their campaign against government corruptions.

These "thinking" people contend that once they revoke FCDA, they are one step closer at solving government corruption. By some common sense, they foresee that the current Corona dilemma could be avoided. Corruption could then be solved. Hurraaah! Excellent idea? No. Not even close. It doesn't show  anything logical.

What does Golden Rule exists for?

What does Golden Rule exists for?

Who needs the Golden Rule? Certainly not everyone. The Buddha or the enlightened one doesn't need one. Golden Rule is only for those in need of a sticky reminder specially at times of almost intolerable situation, wherein one needs to remind own self to try really hard not to cause ruin to others, both in action and intention, except in self-defense. Willful act of injuring other men or retaliation  is a big no if Golden Rule is to be followed devotedly.

The Buddha no longer needs Golden Rule for himself obviously. There is a simple reason for that.  He already realized  the spontaneity of everything including Golden Rule. Having fully understood the truth of his Being, the Buddha is already free from the struggle of making an effort to abide by the Golden Rule. Interestingly, the Buddha is already the embodiment of the Golden Rule. For him, everything flows not by effort or willful exertion or vigilant self-restraint but everything including love, compassion and respect goes on and on so naturally like a breath. 

God clarifies his position about Religion at last! God called me on my phone.

God clarifies his position about Religion at last! God called me on my phone.

I had a brief phone call from heaven. God wants to issue his official statement to clarify his position about religion once and for all. Here is a MonkeySocietyblog exclusive:

I, the Almighty God, have no bitter feelings against religion. I want emphasis on that this early. I want religion to exist as long as possible. And I have reasons why:

First, though religion comes in varieties, it was really successful at UNIFYING the  people. The proof is that everyone is now unified in one mindset of genuinely screwing one another.

Each kind of religion claims the true God is in them. Then they  kill  each other over the idea. Killing became a holy passion in my name. Religion taught them so. And in cases wherein a man violated someone for personal reasons, his church taught him to just ask for forgiveness afterwards and everything will be just fine. Forgiveness of course comes in unlimited supply.

About MonkeySociety (surviving in a society ruled by monkeys)

MonkeySocietyblog is an attempt to spread the message of individual liberty using the kind of spirituality the Buddha had taught people in ages.

MonkeySociety is a metaphor for a backward-thinking society. The term "backward thinking society" is a vague idea. There is no clear calibration from where the "backward" thing can be seen to begin. But there is an unwritten rule for it I think. A rule that can't be well described and expected not to be agreed upon by all men. It means only one thing and that is it uniquely depends on the person making such evaluation. In my case, it is I who holds the idea how backward my society is. In my viewpoint shall reside the basis of judgment when to call my society a backward society or in this blog's theme, a MonkeySociety.

Am I Nuts? I have no plans sending my kids to college.

Am I Nuts? I have no plans sending my kids to college.

College degree will not make everyone rich. This is not false for me. Not few got rich even without a college degree. Not few, too, got their college degrees yet ended-up not getting richer. I am not inclined to say which one I belong. Either of the two is a reality I see everyday.

Though I am as nuts as anyone would think, I am not embarking on a serious plan for my kids on their not-so-distant college days. While others consider going to college as a grand Plan A (or to many the only plan they have), I decided why not go to my grand Plan B instead?

Milton Friedman - Four Ways to Spend Money

Here is a Milton Friedman valuable insight. Four ways to spend money:

1. Spend your own money for yourself
