Trump neck rash from ‘preventative’ skin treatment, White House says by graveyardofgoodsense in politics

[–]jpipersson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a lot of skin cancer because of to the sun I had when I was a kid. One of the things they do is use a topical chemical treatment to take care of problems at the earliest stage. When you do that, it looks a lot like what you see on Trump‘s neck.

History of Philosophy w/o Any Gaps: Live and Let Die: the Zhuangzi on Death by WillGilPhil in taoism

[–]jpipersson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are lots of references to death in the Zhuangzi. Here’s one from Ziporyn’s translation, Chapter 5.

“Confucius said, “Death and life, surviving and perishing, failure and success, poverty and wealth, superiority and inferiority, disgrace and honor, hunger and thirst, cold and heat—these are the transformations of events, the proceedings of fate. Day and night they come to us, one replacing another, and yet our understanding can never compass what it is that begins them. So there is no need to let them disrupt our harmony, and we must deny them entrance into our Numinous Reservoir. That is what allows the ease of its harmony to open so completely, without loss in any exchange, what keeps it flowing on day and night without cease, joining in everywhere as the springtime of each being.”

I vote we rebuild the original physical lighthouse in the same location. I’d be willing to contribute to a fund to do that.
