Personal Motto

[mick1003]

Does anyone have a personal motto, or creed, or sentence or two that they use or think of throughout the day? What I mean is, what would you say is a crystallization of your beliefs or outlook on life? Not a real good example, but something similar to "stop and smell the roses" but with a little more depth. I am a newbie trying to dip my toe in the pool here. Thank you for any replies.

I've said it before, in another thread but i'll repeat:

Be here Now.


and also:

Live to Love, and give good tongue.


or...


No worries.

oh, well, hundreds of people have said before me, and before Ram Dass too... When there is no start, and no finish... in the great circle of life... is there really a first or last? ;)

[imagine]

I use the word creation in my head alot. But I say beautiful out loud. Everything I see, I remind myself that it was created, then I say "beautiful". Created by God or gods...

[jimu']

I used to relate life to chances and choices respectively but as I continue to walk the path of life, it could be both... now what I believe in and what is my guiding motto.. well, its this:

"LIFE IS TAKING CHANCES OUT OF THE CHOICES WE MAKE."

what?



beautiful smells real damn good. i wear it all the time. cover myself in it.
guess you've never smelled it.
i love it.



love it.



:hug:

[Common Sense]

I had no idea that "Beautiful" was the name of a perfume. If you love it so much, why don't you marry it?

[sahyo]

marry



can idea-marry happen?

[Common Sense]

As far as I understand you, Asheera, and that's no trivial supposition, the idea of 'marry' can happen. It just happened right now, as a matter of fact, while responding to your post.

But let's say that the idea of 'marry' cannot happen. So what? That wasn't the topic, now was it? The topic was that she should marry, not that she should have the idea 'marry'. I can poo without the idea of poo, no? If not, then you had better change your mind about any relation between the idea-poo and poo itself, or you'll be in for a big surprise if you come to my house on enchilada nights.

[sahyo]

can imagined-marry marry?

[Common Sense]

This forum is in dire need of either more moderators or less squeamish ones.

I can't believe Asheera's posts meet any standards whatsoever, let alone those of posting in a public forum.

Does anyone have a personal motto, or creed, or sentence or two that they use or think of throughout the day?

I like to think about bumper stickers, ie:

Religious Tolerance;
Yeah Right!

Freedom From Religion, Now!

Jesus died in 28 CE
Get Over It!

Know God, no Peace; Gnow Peace, no God.

Keep Religion and America Separate

If Religion cannot stay out of Politics, Tax It!

Religion is Wrong, Never Right

Religion Requires Faith

America, One Nation, Easily Divisible - Just Add Religion

All Gods Fail

Just Say Gnosis

Make Religion NC-17
(no children under 17)

Tax All Property Equally
Stop Subsidizing Religion

faith is a daily struggle
Real Love is Effortless
Following Spirit is Effortless

Is the Bible without error?
A true Christian "can drink deadly poison without harm" Mark 16:16-18
"prove all things" 1 Thess 5:21

"Democracy is a way of life and social organization which above all others is sensitive to the dignity and worth of the individual human personality, affirming the fundamental moral and political equality of all men and recognizing no barriers of race, religion, or cimcumstance." General Report of the Seminar on "What is Democracy?" Congress on Education for Democracy, August 1939

[todd]

Democracy is what killed Socrates

[CSwriter1]

Tood, democracy is an ideology. How did the ideology kill Socrates?

Should we define the ideology before going any further?

What does rule by reason mean to you?

How about an explanation of how these people came to the idea that, reason, is the controlling force of the universe, made manifest in speech?

How is this ideology different from religion and rule by a God? CS

[sonrisa]

I thought hemlock killed Socrates

[CSwriter1]

Correct it was hemlock that stopped the bodily functions of Socrates body. What do you think of him willing drinking it, instead of escaping?

[todd]

In Plato's (Socrates) age, Greece (Athens) was ruled by democracy.
So, why did Plato invented Utopia? To waste his time? I doubt it.

[CSwriter1]

Democracy has not been defined. It is an ideology and can not kill or rule. Christianity is a religious belief system, and it can not kill or rule. People who live within organizing systems and belief systems kill and rule. If you are serious, it is necessary to define the social organization and principals of democracy, and then question the death of Socrates. I think this would be very meaningful.

Civilizations evolve and Athens was where the US is today, when Socrates was order to drink the hemlock, and for the same reasons, rightest Christians are trying to rule over everyone. I think those who argue against democracy, do not have a good understanding of it, and are part of the problem that threatens our liberty today.

[Priyamanavalae]

"God puts us through troubled waters not to drown us, but to cleanse us. " and "God allows us to experience the low points of life to teach us lessons we couldn't learn in any other way .." Just things I think of when I'm in trouble.

I think he had a death wish. Me, I'd of hopped the boat to Thessaly & got the hell outta dodge.

yo Todd, Sir Thomas Moore invented Utopia- & decapitation is what killed him

A motto:

Be who you are and respect others for who they are.

You are who you are, no one can chage that. Learn and be willing to change your mind. endevour to understand.

[todd]

Democracy has not been defined. It is an ideology and can not kill or rule

Democracy=demos+cratos which means people+power. When you say democracy cannot kill, do you really believe it?
It is absolutely false that the opinion of the many is in any way better than that of the few, and we all know it.
Majority is not a valid argument.
I do not say that generally democracy is better or worse than other ideologies and social systems.
I just now that it leads to the reign of mediocrity.
