Lila

[Fool]

Soon it will be time to feed the god of the third church lest he become hangry. Hopefully you're not eating alone like me.

Again for a little while, I have pretended to be something I'm not.

All the world is stage isn't it? What role will you play today? And will they see the facades?

"Lila" - a Sanskrit word meaning "gods at play".

And the title of an excellent book by Robert Pirsig, the author of, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".

Why have you made so many threads? It seems like youre going over board. Maybe you should calm down on the thread spam.

Furthermore, and worse yet, this thread has nothing to do with religious debate at all. You're loading up the religious debate section with this gunk so I have to scroll through a million of these irrelevant threads to find anything that actually concerns religious debate.

How can and why should, you stop a member from starting a thread? Tell me what is not gunk in religious debates? If you are interested in a particular brand of religion, then you should go to that forum.

So i'm allowed to thread spam then? I'll just bring up random irrelevant nonsense, put it in a thread, and then just copy paste your argument of "well who are you to say what's gunk or not". if you look at the thread history he posts nearly 100-1000 times more than any other user. Its pretty insane actually. And i never said I could stop a member from starting a thread.

It may be irrelevant nonsense for you, but others may see it differently.

All the world is stage isn't it? What role will you play today? And will they see the facades?

Yes. Many, a son, a husband, a father, a grandfather, an employer, etc. Who they?

the others that you play to. will they recognize all those roles as you switch from son to husband, husband to father, father to employer......... do you suppose they ever see the multiplicity in another and recognize themselves?

i don't need a response. i'm sure there are a few out there that do. most are busy rushing through their lives to some destination. i think if everyone were aware of all the relationships a person holds towards another, they wouldn't be taken for granted so easily, like an object that is either a stumbling block, or a stepping stone.

but will they see behind the facade, will they see you as you really are? will they see what is inside the building?

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13 And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.


Allahu Akabar!!!!!!!!

Thee are those who deserve our love and there are those who don't.

 

[Fool]

Thee are those who deserve our love and there are those who don't.

agreed. they are those who only see us as a stumbling block, or stepping stone.

then there are those who see us as a reflection of self.

There is a practical world and there is a philosopher's world. Conflating the two creates problems.
