Imagine if the whole world was meditating at the same time and eventually started thinking the same thing. Hmm Possibilities

Armies call discipline taking orders. Looks more like badgering someone to me. Disciplining the mind should be done through self.

Infinite possibilites.

I think Droz should think about combining his posts into fewer main posts, so the forum doesnt get spammed up with a ton of different posts that are all short and vague. Other than that, post on man! Its a free internet, after all.




it's just litter, you know. it takes up a whole bunch of thread space and i find it annoying as hell when somebody asks a question or something and Droz jumps in with a one-liner.

a crappy hypothetical example that is very bad, nonetheless it illustrates my point:

SHROOMDUDEX: How old do i have to be to order mushroom spores on the internet.

Droz: one must not use age to secure material possessions, one must live without the need for material possessions.

SHROOMERZ: you must be 18 to order mushrooms spores on the internet.

SHROOMDUDEX: thanks SHROOMERZ, i don't know why Droz needed to even bother posting that, it was very pointless.


...this little conversation is fictional but it illustrates that there are simple answers to questions and that one-liners, whether relevant or not are just plain obnoxious, it's like Droz tries to sound more intelligent than us by throwing out one-liners in the third person.

no offense to you Droz, this is just something that bothers me and i felt like saying something about it.

well generally hes got much better things to say than fortune cookies, but he follows the same syntax.

on a side note, has anyone else noticed how 'fortune' cookies dont tell fortunes any more but instead say things like "you have a great appreciation for life"? i cant remember the last time i got a straight up fortune, and i order a lot of chinese food.

All information holds value :smile:

We don't need OTD drama in here. If you don't like someone's posts, then don't read them  :wink:

As long as they aren't breaking any rules they're fine.

I'm introvert with lack of focus. I hold more value to experience then word. So it's kind of difficult to express things that I see. I'll try to be more specific for the sake of you guys understanding me better. I'm just trying to find some originality in the world of 'if you can think of it, it's already been done.' style thinking.

Heh, I know what you mean eh :smirk:

Experience is what we build our working knowledge on, but without word there is no communication. What good is an idea if it cannot be expressed to anyone but yourself?

i know what you mean as well.  theres so much that gets lost in the translation of experience to language.  who really knows if what i experience as love is the same as what anyone else experiences.  the trick is to master your language.  expand your vocabulary so you can define experiences as best you can.  while language will always limit our expression of experiences to others, we can always push that limit to its maximum to make best use of this tool.  as trendal said "what good is an idea if it cannot be expressed to anyone but yourself".  do your best to explain your experiences and thoughts, you seem to have some interesting ones and id love to hear them fully explained. :thumbup: :cool:

The only rule I see most of them getting close to is post whoring.  :shocked:

But myself, I think it is great to have a diverse people on here that express ideas differently. It only helps the spread of ideas...
Peace.
