I have flashbacks and negative thoughts in reactions to those intrusive memories of bad events. But i think, I am able to charter courses properly. I think the ship's course is to forgive Lal and these people. Even if there's a few rocks ahead or storms or gusts, I'll just adjust the sails a little bit, navigate beyond the perilous rocks, avoid the storm, but I know which way to go, the map points to a fixed, certain location, X marks the spot.

Alcohol, Smoking, Mirtazapine and “Crimson and Clover”

I also don't drink alcohol. I just don't. I never liked alcohol, I never liked cigarettes or weed, or cocaine or anything else.

I just do it all socially because I want to fit in.

I am happy Chadu plucked my cigarette and gave it to Wasim Bawa, "smoke this!", by order of the Chadu.

Hehehe

I admire it in Muslims: They don't drink. It's very good, it's just a poison. Though, I am a hypocrite. My poison is the Mirtazapine. It says poison on the box.

It helps though, it is a good antidepressant. It helps me to sleep, that and eating are the problem for me.

Just kidding, I like to drink very little. I think I learned something from Buddha. I don't get wasted, I enjoy my liquor slowly. I never really get carried away. I am happy I don't smoke.

The guy, the cop from Chicago, he smoked a cigarette in Reacher, one last time. I think he glamorized smoking in doing so.

I don't enjoy it, it doesn't taste or feel any good. I think it is a personal thing that varies, it depends on the person entirely.

I gotta get my Mirtazapine soon, when the pharmacy opens soon.

Yeah, my mind's such a sweet thing

Historical Detail and Sublime Cinematography in 1883

8:45 a.m.

(c)

You can tell, the people behind 1883, they put in a lot of effort. These minute details matter. This man is sweating from his chest. Some girls, have hair on the armpits as it was 1883, it was the 19th century, though I think it's wrong to say 1800s, as it's more like 1900s. The way smallpox is shown, it looks real, the dead people look real, the blood, blood spray, gun shots, it's something even The Quentin could learn from.

Where I think they can put a bit of extra effort is that there are YouTubers, like this guy, who explores period, or that era or age or large time period duration in time, in terms of cooking or drinks.

It's worth, studying and adopting it on set. As for instance, beer may have looked different or the food may have looked different.

Might be smaller portions, mannerisms may be different, they may use some types of cutlery.

Sheriff Jim Courtright, played by Billy Bob Thornton in the series "1883," is depicted in this frame. He stands indoors, wearing a dark suit and a wide-brimmed hat, which is typical of the period attire from the late 19th century depicted in the show. His expression is serious, with a hint of authority, fitting for his role as a sheriff. The lighting is dim and atmospheric, enhancing the historical ambiance of the scene.
In the background, a softly glowing lamp adds to the warm, sepia-toned environment. This setting suggests a saloon or similar establishment, common in the Western genre. The subtitles indicate a conversation about watering horses and immigrants, contributing to the narrative tension typical of the show's exploration of the American frontier experience.

The character is depicted indoors, enveloped in a dramatic and tense atmosphere.

Japanese Attacks, Forgiveness and Lee Kuan Yew’s Escape

3:30 a.m.

I'm going to sleep soon. I was . I am quite tired today.

I felt sad and cried when I saw this scene.

The Japanese bombed Sri Lanka too. Albeit, or although, it was British targets mostly. We forgave the Japanese as we are fellow Buddhists. It is very sad as a successful Buddhist country became so evil.

I do not like how cool people like me, who are very kind to people, we often do not win against very bad people who commit evil deeds. They often win. I am sad so many people died in WW2. It was all due to a few wicked people, who sacrificed others for gain.

The Japanese, I remember, they were murdering the Chinese they captured. They were killing people they could find. Lee Kuan Yew, he was young, he hid underneath floorboards or somewhere. I read it when I was young. Lucky escape!

A Singapore GP, Medical Certificates and National Service

3:30 a.m.

I was talking to my Singaporean General Practitioner or "GP", at the Dublin Clinic, with Dr Teo. I would visit whenever I had a problem.

I had anal hemorrhoids once! It was the only embarrassing problem. I have no shame. I am a shameless, shameful person.

I'd pay $20 or $50 bucks, get a Medical Certificate (or a "MC") for 2 or 3 days, and avoid going to school.. so, my attendance was above 90%.

I was supposed to go to school 6 days a week. Well, it was university, it was fun to take holidays. I guess, I can say, it was good to "buy" holidays.

He would talk to me. He told me, he was doing training in "NS", or national service, which was a compulsory, conscription of young men to the army. They do it in Israel as well.

It's to make sure there's enough soldiers in case of an attack. Lee Kuan Yew, was traumatized, so maybe he possibly overcorrected due to his ordeals.

I think it's good to inculcate a survival mentality. I think it is better than the unacceptable alternative of a Tony Robbins Rhonda Byrne type abundance mentality.

There's a famous movie called Boys to Men and more about this in Singapore, in Israel, those who refuse to serve in the army are looked down upon.

In his training, for the army, he would tell me a few jokes he remembered.

When he was in the sea, floating in some kind of buoyant floating device, as part of survival training, so they learn to be tough, patient and endure.

Somebody, he screamed, "shark"!
