If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding:
Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)
'We should not congratulate someone on the success of their misdeeds, but on the contrary should endeavour to advise him or her to lead a more skilful and wholesome life. If such advice is ignored then we can only give up and let go' - Phra Panyapatipo

Thank you all. Hope these photos provided some inspiration. The people of Laos were very kind and warm to me. I can't say enough about their hospitality. The same could be said about the rural areas along the Mekong in Thailand. Laos is a very chill country that I would recommend visiting if one gets the chance. Considering all that the people of Laos have been through, I have the highest respect that they still welcome foreign visitors with an incredible degree of good will.

And if you sit in a taxi in Bangkok on your way to Laos, you may see these Rupas:
