examined life

Post by Shem » December 12th, 2012, 2:44 am

My theory of life.
Live reciprocally,
Always ALAWASY strive for the greater good.
Not good for you, not good for your neighbor,
But good for the health of your community.
If your community is not worth fighting to improve,
Find another community.
Do NOT lash out in violence.
Violence CAN be useful but it is a
VERY
Rare occurrence.
Avoid mass media, mass hysteria and anything else belong to the herd.
Do not fear your INDIVIDUALITY!
It is all that stands between us and destruction.
Question, question, question!
Politics, religion, science, philosophy.
Question EVERYTHING, and take
NOTHING
For granted.
Leave the letter that never begins to go find the latter that ever comes to end, written in smoke and blurred by mist and signed of solitude, sealed of night.
-James Joyce

Reminds me of something Descarte said: Cogito ergo sum. Interesting poem.

I too try to live for the the greater good, for the community.

The tough part for me is to discern what is a community from what is a Granfalloon.



Sorry for the multiple replies

Question, question, question!
Politics, religion, science, philosophy.
Question EVERYTHING...
really like the messaging...

I find that nothing else but, the self,
can be questioned, because it is the self that
ultimately chooses which answers are to be accepted

and that external things change only
when we change our own outlook on them

community... can be anyone, or maybe everyone
