Peopl...Remember what I said about differing tastes? People also tend to think that everyone thinks like themselves, because that's the only thought perspective they really have. And those that show evidence of thinking differently are often regarded as being weird or abnormal because it doesn't fit their own thought pattern.<br /><br />This is why cheating husbands often accuse their faithful wives of cheating. It's the thought pattern they live in and they project it on everyone else.<br /><br />'Others' doesn't include plants and animals to anyone that wouldn't think it does, naturally. Which is why it has to be explicitly stated.<br /><br />Do you know how much good would be done in this world simply by everyone not dong any harm?<br /><br />And remember what I said about wisdom and enlightenment? Doing good comes from understanding that by not doing good, sometimes you are doing harm. And also the wisdom to know that doing good doesn't always do good. Sometimes it causes harm. There are an awful lot of people out there hurting because of the actions of do-gooders.<br /><br />Not hurting is a good start...then doing good without hurting.Apphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04973805741360160102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028267697115043579.post-63381428439553836282011-12-29T09:32:01.763-08:002011-12-29T09:32:01.763-08:00+Viorel The divine is everywhere, including inside...+Viorel The divine is everywhere, including inside you.

If you find yourself using it to justify an action, it's likely you've upset someone and didn't think it through. <br /><br />For example, take your first example. Just because you want someone to punch you in the face doesn't mean the other person does. If roles are reversed, you're the other person not you. Therefore you should interact with them in the way you think THEY want to be interacted with.<br /><br />Also, there's no reason 'others' wouldn't include animals, plants, etc.<br /><br />I'm a fan of self-examination, but doing no harm does not ensure that you're doing any good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07624890678329012106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028267697115043579.post-55399254465641919872011-12-29T04:25:52.225-08:002011-12-29T04:25:52.225-08:00Is not science can prove to one of us, is what we ...Is not science can prove to one of us, is what we can prove to science and we do it daily. Who are scientists? Humans. Normal people like us, but they like to study into science. We have so many areas were one can develop. But if you see this system of beliefs and you do not see the need of something greater than science, than consciousness, than that something is GOD, ALAH, BUDDHA or what ever the religious would name a state or a way of the righteous one. We need to know how to heal us, treat us right and respect us. We are missing basic feeling of nurturing to one each other, we lost contact with animal world, with living world. Our fours walls we sit in between are delimiting and are forming what ever your mind will slit at this age, in this day and moment. Each work his own way, based on his relation to environment. A man living in nature, and among animals, knowing as basic as need it to survive, would be closer to GOD. We living between walls of concrete, and bares of metal. We are those loosing the contact with GOD, and not only that we loose it, we do not meet him, because depending on culture were you are grown, other things occur in. <br /><br />Note: I was born as one who disliked the taste of meat. No one in my area focused on this particular need I feel. So I was forced by my environment to eat, what ever they would have. This leaving me with 25 years from were I was leaded by someone's else will and need. Not by my own. Now I had to change it, my energy aligned all required to do so, and now I live free of meat, and I am on the path I had, once deviated from it.Kos mOShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06862912114182871470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028267697115043579.post-27470094393223321562011-12-29T04:14:29.699-08:002011-12-29T04:14:29.699-08:00There is a problem with Rule I, and it is the same...There is a problem with Rule I, and it is the same fundamental problem that exists in most variations of the Golden Rule.<br /><br />Tastes differ.<br /><br />If you were the type that likes a good fist fight and you'd want people to come up to you and hit you, Rule I could be used to justify going around punching people in the face for no reason.<br /><br />Also, most variations of the Golden Rule demand action and kind of imply that one must do something, when sometimes the best thing to do is to do nothing at all...inaction. (For example, sometimes problems are made much worse by people that don't know how to stfu and mind their own business.)<br /><br />And Rule I also leaves out the one person in which you are most likely to do the greatest harm...yourself.<br /><br />And it doesn't consider that which is not a person...animals, plants, the environment, etc.<br /><br />And what about "crimes of thought"? This is something many don't even consider until it gets out of control and manifests itself into harmful actions. And "crimes of thought" against oneself can do more damage than any action by another person. It would be far better to catch it and nip it in the bud, way before it gets to that point. <br /><br />Perhaps Rule I should be revised to this:<br /><br />I. Think no thought, speak no word, and do no deed, that harms yourself, others, or the world you live in.<br /><br />Yes, it is an impossible rule to live by, and it requires almost constant self-examination, but it is one that is worth trying your best.<br /><br />The constant self-examination involved is one of the paths to wisdom and enlightenment.Apphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04973805741360160102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028267697115043579.post-5040255354073628042011-12-21T09:51:37.558-08:002011-12-21T09:51:37.558-08:00Very interesting.....

I decided long ago to believe what I felt was right, not what "they" told me was right. <br />I believe in God. I believe there is an afterlife where you will be judged. I believe in Heaven and Hell. However, I do not believe that God says things such as dancing are sins, like my Southern Baptist upbringing says, or any of the other inconsequential interpretations of the Bible by every other religion in the world. Would an almighty being be that fastidious? I mean can you even imagine going to Hell for dancing?!!? <br />Finally…. the whole reason I wanted to comment on this was the title. Growing up I was told that you either believe in God or science. I think that is a bunch of crap. Why can't you believe in both? Just because we now have the science to explain the miracle, does it make it less of a miracle? <br />I believe that science PROVES there is a God.APMnoreply@blogger.com
