golinux Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 That is just soooo sick and deluded. (And destined to repeat itself ad infinitum - not a shred of wisdom there.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerman Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 That is just soooo sick and deluded. (And destined to repeat itself ad infinitum - not a shred of wisdom there.) What can possibly be sick about chocolate? It's a little piece of heaven on earth. Man, I've become a more negative person but it's good to know there's someone much more negative than me! Half full or half empty is the question and I still prefer half full. As bad as things are for most, it could (and might) just get worse. Be thankful for what you have and not for what you don't.

REDWAGON Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I guess some people just can't see the difference between a joking statement and the real world Well at least a few can Frank... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not negative just a realist - observations are neutral. I live in abundance and contentment BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in abundance and contentment BTW. A life without chocolate or wine would not be what I would consider abundance! Nor would I necessarily be content. But, be that as it may, the "wisdom" is to live life to its fullest, and that definition varies for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalbrother Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Life is NOT good. Life is hard and depressing as hell most of the time. If you don't think this way, you are a lucky person because you obviously have not seen the dark side of life nor have you experienced any real pain or suffering. You're lucky to have a good outlook on life...I try my best to do the same, but if you were me, you'd understand how hard that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll still go with, "Life is good." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Metalbrother, I've been there, done that. In my job I've seen unspeakable things done or happened to people, and I've been to the bottom of the pit myself. I only just managed to scramble out over a period of some years, and with lots of help from others. I just want to say you have to keep looking ahead, and that any day above ground is a good day. If you keep deliberately reliving the bad things that have happened, you'll doom yourself to groundhog day. Life is pretty good for me now, and I'd hate to miss it.

golinux Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Metalbrother actually has it kinda right - samasara sux! Even in the moments of pleasure and satisfaction there is 'suffering' (if for no other reason that it won't stay around for long). But this is not a reason to be depressed or feel sorry for yourself. It is an opportunity for wisdom - to understand how unsatisfactory existence is at it very root and to let go of clinging to shifting sands and illusions. That brings great contentment, equanimity and liberates the mind from the prison of delusion. (Wow, didn't think there'd be an opportunity to philosophize this morning.)

golinux Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 If you never knew bad, you would never know what good was. That's some peoples idea of relativity. "Good" and "bad" are subjective judgments that help to weave the web of delusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
