“Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.”
― Alan Wilson Watts

Mark Twain Quote

Man has been here 32,000 years. That it took a hundred million years to prepare the world for him is proof that that is what it was done for. I suppose it is. I dunno. If the Eiffel tower were now representing the world's age, the skin of paint on the pinnacle-knob at its summit would represent man's share of that age; & anybody would perceive that that skin was what the tower was built for. I reckon they would. I dunno.
- "Was the World Made for Man?"

Mark Twain

Anger is weakness, not strength.

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

All war is deception.
Sun Tzu

No Fear in the Now

When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.
Buddha

War is peace.

Freedom is slavery.


Ignorance is strength.





George Orwell 1984

Don't Struggle To Make it - The Empowered Human: 360 Senses!

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

- Dune

Polarity

If I were to have both a good attitude at times

and also a bad one at other times

am I not still ME at ALL times?

Or am I one person,

another person,

or just ONE complex being?

This is just like the cat in the box (in physics) being both alive and dead until observed. Positive and negative are perspective, so reality is more complex and subtle than just black and white.

FLOW

From the Tao Te Ching

Return is the movement of the way;

yielding is the function of the Way.

All things in the world are born of being;

being is born of non-being

Henry Rollins' Letter to a Young American (Part 2)

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.
Albert Einstein

The hope of a secure and liveable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Underestimating

From the Tao Te Ching

“...No calamity is greater than underestimating opponents. If you underestimate opponents, you're close to losing your treasure...”

People's starvation

From the Tao Te Ching

When people are starving, it is because their governments take too much,
causing them to starve.
When people are hard to control,
It is because of the contrivances of their governments,
which make them hard to control.
When people slight death,
it is because of the earnestness with which they seek life;
that makes them slight death.
Only those who do not contrive to live are wise in valuing life.
