The Burmese game where children jump over a string is known as "Htong-htaung seik" or "Sein-nyo-htwey." In this traditional game, a horizontal string is held by two players at each end, creating a low arc above the ground. The other players take turns jumping over the string without touching it.

These monks are there probably to maintain some sort of balance. Like day for night and Ying for Yang. There are people, billions of us who use tons and tons of material to be happy. they are happy when they build cars, computers, gadgets theories and what not. BUT inside they never settle to feel the HERENOW.

 

The tibetan monks are weird because they are not after any theory or material. They dont even have the logic for self defence. Yet inside they know far more about themselves than we do about anything in particular. Like the two opposite poles, they think differently than most of the westernized world.

 

This obviously is my thought and i have the right to be wrong. But what if as a group they really are happier than the rest? damn i want to burn my computer.

They are one of the most endangered animals on the endangered species list. They are remarkably well adapted but human activities (overfishing, habitat loss, abandoned nets, hunting, etc) have pushed them to the brink. They think the population is still declining but they are showing up more often in the main islands.

 

The researchers think that competition for food and females is causing them to branch out. Adult monk seals can dive to over 2000 feet on a breath of air.
