Everything i know about life can be summed up in one sentence:
"Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live."
DOROTHY THOMPSON:
Fear is the absence of life.
"Is it eradicating evil? Or are we like children, left alone in the house at night, who light candle after candle to keep away the darkness. We don’t see that the darkness has a purpose – thought we may not understand it – and so, in our terror, we end up burning down the house!"
Margaret Weis "time of the twins"
Do not burn the gift of life, for it is the most precious gift you will ever get, everything included...... happiness & sorrow, laughter & tears, loneliness & sharing, day & night ........
I often think that life is like a a very strong light,.....
there are people that are not ready to stare at it, they have too sensitive eyes.
and others..... who give no other meaning but to look at it everyday no matter the pain it causes. ........ ... the wise men....
In you, there lies all life in the world,, do not disrespect it!!!


"The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers. It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow. I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment."

Think about it for a while..... pause and reflect.....do not hate life, because it will hate you back, love it and it will adore you back. Just use your senses, they know better.

I've reduced my life to a few maxims:

1) I can always live under the bridge
2) If I'm believing something, I should figure out why.
3) being a pragmatist is great in life, but sh*t in philosophy

A very broad question to have someone answer it, do you not think so? Well, my philosophy on life...let's see, you make mistakes, regret comes into play...and yet pointless joys do just that, bring us joy. We do not see the whole picture, mortals are shallow closed-minded creatures....yet we interact with one another, thinking advanced thoughts about one another, than only we hear....life is almost pointless....but yet...so beautiful...

In the rythym of life we at times find ourselves out of tune, but as long as there are friends to provide the melody the music plays on

life is half your own doing and half influenced by the world around you.
we each choose on a daily basis how we will begin the day, but there are always times when the world around us has other plans..such as a traffic jam.
we can only learn to be patient and work our way through life as best we can!

Life is a Banquet!! And most poor suckers are starvin' to death!!

It is all there for the taking - we all make our own choices and deal with the consequences of those choices.

You have no one to blame for the state of your life but yourself.

Live and let live.
This philosophy supports freedom and democracy, while allowing every single person to do whatever they like, as long as they don't negatively affect other people's ability to do whatever they like.

My philosophy on life is: "you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't." The reason is that life is always out to screw you over!!!!!

We are all here for a purpose:
1. gain a body
2. gain experience and wisdom
3. repent and forgive
4. make necessary covenants with God to live with him and our families again one day and ultimately become like him
5. have families
6. gain knowledge and understanding
