Arts & Humanities - 25 November 2006

For instance: I buy a book at regular price, and then decide to sell it back to a store (for 1/4 of the overal price) that buys and sells used books. The store then turns around and sells the book for 1/2 of the original price to someone else.

How is it legal that that store owner gets to make money off something that someone else wrote, since the original author never receives royalties for having his book sold twice?

"I" am the dream?

Dream-dreamer. dreamer-dream. "I" am the dream. The dreamer is "I". Awakening is the difficulty. The difficulty is the dream where
"I" am surrounded by infinite possibilities, infinite thoughts. If "I" awake, all thought will be clear.

What do you think of these sayings?

"Equality may perhaps be a right, but now power on earth can ever turn it into a fact."

"We might be our own worst enemy."

"Forgive sounds good. Forget I'm not sure I could. They say time heal's everything, but I'm still waiting."

"We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us."

"Nature never deceives us; it is we who deceive. "

"Those who love peace must learn to organize as well as those who love war. "

"Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. "

"The secret to happiness is not in doing what one likes to do, but in liking what one has to do."

"Yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision, but today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope."

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade win

"Thirteen" the essay, circa 1960s--who wrote it?

As a student in the 1960s or early 1970s I remember reading in a textbook or anthology an essay called "Thirteen". A 13-year-old boy muses on the age, saying it's a "wonderful age" in spite of his problems; for example, as a young male, he could neither cry nor curse. He mentions his father, mother, and sister in this essay. Who wrote it, and where can I find it, please? For some reason I'm thinking maybe Scholastic, Inc. may have published it in one of their anthologies, but I'm not sure.

Does anyone know of any Bataan March Survivors still alive in the Hampton Roads Area of Virginia?

My great uncle was a March survivor and he survived the death camp as well. He was there when the Army Rangers rescued the men (as seen in the movie "The Great Raid"). He wrote a book "As I Remember". My uncle passed away last April (on the EXACT day of his capture). I just wanted to meet some of his fellow survivors.

Why do philosophers speculate so much and do so little ?

Because they don`t know the Truth they waste precious time speculating about things they will never know by themselves, but those who know the Truth don`t waste their time but preach the Word which enlightens the blind.
