At that point even the ironing becomes enticing. And so it was, I was going on a long and very tedious flight with possible delays. I packed my bags and set aside everything I needed including my passport and of course the newly purchased book on top of the pile. Of course it was bound to happen there were no delays, for once, and as I sat down in the seat and opened my bag I realised that I had left the book behind. It was one of those moments when you metaphorically reach up to the heavens with your arms and say why me? And the answer was there are in front of me, tucked into the pocket, left behind by the previous reader was a slim golden volume called ‘ The Selfish Capitalist, Origins of Affluenza, Oliver James’. So I tucked myself into my chair and began to read on the long haul. Now I don't particularly like the style of writing as I tend to be more of a ripping yarn type chap. But the quote on the front cover from Will Self, which I have found is not necessarily mean it is a perfect recommendation, was’ Oliver James is our foremost chronicler of what ails us’. What came to mind with reading the book was that it confirmed to me even more in my belief of the Buddhist practice in principle. This book is a catalogue of naked greed and lust of the modern socio-economic system. If I were ever to recommend a book about Buddhism, or at the least a book that lends light upon the Buddhist ethos that does not mention Buddhism at all it would be this. In the end it turned out to be a ripping yarn. On a scale of one to 10 I would give it about a 7 1/2. Some of this slightly lower in the score is purely because I don't quite like the style of writing. If I could get home about personal piece of prejudice it would probably be a nine.

An indian bullfight consists of a great big feild surrounded bu indian males laying bets and generally being very silly. They lead on two of the most docile bulls aon the planet and try and get them to look at each other. This is done by about twenty drunk indians tugging on a rope. The fight then begins. The idea is to get the bulls to headbutt each other. The betting takes place on the follwing 1 how many times will they bang heads 2 which one will stop first 3 which one will get bored and wander off first 4 how many of the rope pullers will he drag away with him 5how big a hole will he make in the wall off people and which direction will he/they wander off in. Often the bulls will not head butt and just drag the guys on the ropes around the field for half an hour, betting is then who will hang on longest. The bulls are not stupid either they drag the rope pullers through every cowpat and thorn bush available. s a general consensus it would appear that it is Bulls 5 and humans 2. Afterward a bull that has been most entertaining will be feed bananas and anything else it fancies. In all I think the bulls come out best in the entire affair.

Now these may seem like strange bed fellows but are they? You often here the phrase bandied about 'all is illusion', its usually spouted out by people who know less about buddhist ethical process than an ant. Now I have a a long term stuggle, all beit at a low level, with weight gain. I have tried many things and each time my own cravings and mentally justified greed of the 'go on just for today, a little 4000 calorie snack wont make a differance' has always won out. This week I have asked myself this fundamental question is my desire attachment as the experiance is definitely an illusory one, after all it does fade away to be replaced by more desire. In asking that question (this is before the weight watchers course has started) I have found thatI am able review my eating habits. I was going to say resist, but resist does not actually cover whats going on, its more of a sense of feeling whats true in me. Who knows the 4000 calorie snacks may win out, we shall see. But for now its nice to know that a different sense of self can cope with the illusory craving. In all of this I have discovered that chocolate makes me depressed the day after consumption... now that is bad karma! So I went to weight watchers... wow what an experiance! The first session was last night and the person sitting next to me had to get up and leave half way through as they were going to an offical dinner! I have gone for the 'core diet plan' its just about what I eat anyway, its the snacks that get to me.. I can vacume up a packet of cookies in under five seconds.
