I describe myself as someone who is intellectually curious and appreciative of what I consider beautiful, no matter what others think.
We live in a moment of history
where change is so sped up
that we only see the present
when it is already disappearing
Do you look back in anger, forward in fear or around in awareness?
To become angry, is easy.
..but to be angry with the right person,
- to the right degree,
- at the right time,
- for the right purpose,
**and in the right way...
that is not within everyone's power;
that is not easy.
remarkable : we treat others as we do ourselves
We hate them when we hate us.
We are tolerant towards them when we tolerate ourselves.
We forgive them when we forgave us.
We are prone to sacrifice them when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.
Of all emotions.. anger is possibly the most fun.
To lick your wounds,
to smack your lips over grievances past,
to roll over your tongue the prospect - of bitter confrontations still to come,
...savor to the last toothsome morsel
both the pain you are giving and the pain you are given back.
- it is a feast fit for a king.
The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself.
The skeleton at the feast is you.
: I do warn you :
the use of paganism today
may cause your mind to open
and new opinions to form
How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.
Dont be angry if you cant make others as you wish them to be,
just because you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.
A Poison Tree
I was angry with my friend
I told my wrath and my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe
I told it not and my wrath did grow.
So say it loud and let it ring
We are all a part of everything
The future, present and the past
Fly on proud bird
You're free at last.
It is told that Buddha, going out to look on life, was greatly daunted by death.
"They all eat one another!" he cried and called it evil.
This process from mother nature I examined, changed the verb and called it good.
-we all feed one another.
The opposite of love, art, and life is: indifference.
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge --
myth is more potent than history --
dreams are more powerful than facts --
hope always triumphs over experience --
laughter is the cure for grief --
love is stronger than death ~ !
this is life
