Sayings

There's only one rule in the sayings thread. It must be something you came up with on your own. Derivatives are okay.

-----

People are too smart for their own good and not as smart as they think they are.

A saying is worth a thousand words.

You don't have to be smart to make a lot of money, and you don't have to make a lot of money to be smart.


Every generalization is wrong sometimes.

Certainty is for the archbishop. A new concept: Sombunall. Some but not all; sometimes but not always.

I was writing a stupid axiom the other day like

Life's joys flow by and can't be held onto no matter how much effort we exert, whereas suffering is like a rock that never unburdens you, yoked to your neck or gripped in your palm.

What's the nature of the totality that contains and allows all of this, the joy and suffering, the river and rocks?


--------------------
“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

.  Couples are over joyed at the birth of a healthy child -- ignoring that they have just sentenced another sentient being to death and that it will inevitably suffer much along the way.

Above is my saying, and below is the rationale.

.  Society and the parents compound the folly by celebrating 'birthdays'.

.  Almost all of society is based on such superficial and euphemistic views, and stupid rituals.

.  From one point of view there is no such "thing" as society; but on the other hand we can look at animals, that function on a societal level and see that its aims are always purely practical, related to survival, and have no real interest in the happiness or creativity of any of the individuals involved for their own sakes.
.  It would seem that: that humans are animals that likewise follow indifferent biological imperatives escapes most humans most of the time.

Whoops

“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Life is like a river; you're in the flow and move fastest the more you trust the river and stay in the center where it's deepest.

Everyone's path is different, and that is fine. We either sit or walk.
