Daily philosophy

[Cordoba]

- Beware the darkness in the grey areas.

- The companion before the road, and the road before the destination. But without the destination there is no road, and without the road there is no companion.

- It is better that the injustices of others should stand than that our own injustices should stand.

- Demonising the Other is from the harshnesses of the self.

- True religion invites us to become better people. False religion tells us that this has already occurred.

- Where the roots are weak, the branches are stiff. Where the roots are firm, the branches are supple.

Time is on my side, yes it is

[ChrisP]

Nothing is weaker than water,
But when it attacks something hard
Or resistant, then nothing withstands it,
And nothing will alter its way.

 

[Cordoba]

- It is only bad gardeners who uproot all the weeds.

- Those who curse do not transform; those who do not curse transform.

- Without the law of Love there is no Law at all.

- Mercy has the last Word.

[Ori]

No longer forward nor behind
I look in hope or fear;
But, grateful, take the good I find,
The best of now and here

 

[Cordoba]

- The more we have, the less we are.

- Holidays: they think their bodies are solar-powered !

- Modernity is the teaching of perfect misunderstanding.

- Wrath is finite; mercy knows no end.

- Good architecture is to promote thankfulness.

I'm on a greek tangent at the moment :

"He was a wise man who invented beer." (Plato, 427 - 347 BC)

"An honest man is always a child." Socrates

 

[Ori]

Remember that you are an actor in a play and the playwright chooses the manner of it...your business is to act the character that is given you and act it well; the choice of the cast is another's

 

[zron]

You are free.
You are powerful.
You are good.
You are love.
You have value.
You have purpose.
All is well.

 

[Ori]

When there is nothing left for you to say, drop your body and float away

 

[ChrisP]

HEAVEN-and-Earth is not sentimental;
It treats all things as straw-dogs.
The Sage is not sentimental;
He treats all his people as straw-dogs.

nb. A straw dog is something made to be destroyed.

 

[Ori]

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

 

[ChrisP]

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

A pound of weed is worth 2000$ an ounce of cocaine. . . well let's just say you'd be rolling in it.
