I don't know the exact quote but I'm almost positive it came from him. I've looked through everything and cant find it at all. It basically says convictions aren't something that we should admire or want, rather the ability to let go of our convictions is the admirable quality. I'm pretty sure it was a short seperated aphorism, not in a larger section (although I could be wrong seeing as I read through all the aphorisms about 10 times trying to find this.) If anyone could help me locate the quote it would be greatly appreciated.

I did a cull of books a few months back. Charity shops only want popular fiction - which I don't have. The used book shop cherry picked the rest. I'm left with a box of rubbish, essentially. I have put the ratty paperbacks with really tiny print and thin yellowed pages into the bin, which I hated doing. But what about the rest?

This statement is what i came up when i was staring at the stars, and the ceiling of my room:

Life is not a privilege or a predicament. It is a choice.

Just thoughts on my thought. :)

P.S. Please don't berate me with insults that doesn't really count on the statement! I accept negative comments, but not irrelevant insults.

...That the "aging" process is actually "why" we live as long as we do...the fact that our cells reach a point where they stop replicating "helps" us live much longer than if they kept trying to divide, because if they did, the "tail" of the DNA strand would run out of "length," and we would simply "dissolve" at that point instead of staying alive longer...This is one more discovery that "reversed" a traditional scientific assumptive belief, and I'm noticing more and more things are being "turned" on their head, so to speak...Such as the undeniable connection between "legal abortions" and a low crime rate...less late teen punks raised by parents who shouldn't have been parenting equates to less crime...
(and Pluto is no longer a "planet...")

What else could we be "backwards" about in our cultural and scientific thinking...?

I sometimes wonder if there is an ethical imparitive to not only live by attitudes and actions you believe to be "right", but also to try and cultivate those attitudes and views in others. Or at least try and make your feelings known through interaction.

I think other people believe so as well. Door to door religion sellers, PETA, any activist group.

So in general, I suppose I'm asking if you believe there to be an ethical imparative twoards activism, or if passive action and living your ideals is enough to fulfill your need to "do what's right".

...the magnetic field could be the "mind" of the planet, the magma and water and air it's blood, and so on...it has circulatory system, filters, food (sunlight), etc...

And could it be the "God" presence so many people seem sure of, is really just our planet's consciousness, or awareness that we "swim" around in...? When I "take in" the whole planet...it seems to me to act "alive..."
Our bodies have many microscopic lifeforms living on our surface and internally, just like the planet, and that might explain why we find "Her" beautiful, too...We are a living part of Her...Does the "Gaia" hypothesis make sense to you...?

I'm curious, the drummers/bagpipers etc... that used to march to battle with armies for moral effects, was it, ummm, 'good manners' to kill them if you got a chance?

Unless I'm mistaken they were non-combat, but then they WERE on the enemies side so...

So could you kill them or was it bad form?

If that is so... then the feeling that we are feeling at the moment whether for the good or for the bad will have end one day, one way or another. Thats life right? Its all about the experience... At the end of the day, your experience is what matters... what YOU have accomplished with your time here on Earth . Right?

"Even if you travel around a circle... the moment that you stop... that will be the end of that."

Follow your Bliss.


Do You Believe it?
