One must bear the pain of sorrow. When it is too much, patience steps in.

 

Watch out for alternatives – these can dull your reality!

 

In the opinion of fairness, absolutes are tied to opposition and vary among individuals from the intense and far-reaching to the moderate.

Though traditionally man is the protector, and woman the nurturer, the roles may be reversed: when either sex disregards either role, they become less man or less woman.

 

Suppose is a most flexible and rigid word. We are prone to think and act as we are supposed to, or we rebel and ignore the suppositions. Usually what is supposed, gets things done without thought. Then there are the supposes which may run on ad infinitum, getting one lost in a maze of contradictions.

 

Perspectives, perspectives: what a difference it makes in the way we see, in the way we use our rationality, in the way we let ourselves be!

 

Philosophy is the study of Reality with or without the use of bias. It supports an understanding of the absolute of all absolutes.

Freedom can lead to loneliness, and loneliness may be created by selfishness, as a good deal of the need for freedom arises from selfishness.

 

The antidote to dissatisfaction is tolerance.

 

Do away with the excessive and the recessive in pride, and keep its vital quality for guidance in communication.

 

Seeking perfection in one’s taste, choice, or decision  before acceptance or utilization is like trying to live on cream alone.

 

Those unfortunate few who find enjoyment only through their own ideas of solid perfection, carry on an inner struggle that outweighs the bits and pieces of contentment allowed in their lifestyles.      

 

Ignorance and arrogance are twins lonely at heart.

 

There are necessary frailties in human nature grown and nurtured there for developing the emotions of love or hate. These frailties may grow excessive to become judgemental, disruptive or destructive, affecting those unfortunate to be in its shadow.

 

Don’t knock the frailties; they are there to teach cooperation, to open eyes to a sense of compromise.

Instinct is an overflow of precognition; it precedes all movements in Art or Science. It fades away unless it is recognised and strengthened.

 

The savage is back or more likely forced back in a competitive world. It lurks behind every civilized face – the sneer hidden by the smile, ignorant of loyalty, respect or honour.

 

Greed brings insecurity and vice versa, causing a snowballing effect around the world, chilling hearts and losing the power to stop.

 

True beauty is the point where greatness meets humility.

 

The kite which soars, which pulls itself away from the ties of humility will eventually come down.

 

God’s truth versus peoples’ truth: moral rightness versus “dog eats dog;” the former ideology retains the conscience, the latter loses its guidance. It tends to sell the soul to preserve the body.

 

Courage in desperation comes from God.

 

The strength in softness is the strongest.

Those who look at suggestions as intrusions, learn very slowly.

Greed overtakes a society when personal needs must adjust to the wares of the marketplace rather than the other way round.

 

Life is a constant of dissolution and creation, and takes the best of that which is available to maintain itself. What’s available depends on the extent of physical and mental pressures and on pure luck!

The mistake is to allow creativity coming from both Science and Art to be considered a purer element for human growth, than morality, which carries a standard of right and wrong. The freedom of expression without limitations in both fields dulls the flow of directions and dims the view.

In communication, conversation like good wine must be savoured and not dealt with hurriedly, as it tends to lose quality, and robs enrichment for the participants.

The potential of food to become flesh comes from the all-knowing life force.

 

Each one of us must dig our way out through the rocks of our physical and mental problems to freedom. We cannot feel the total benefit of wholeness if others do it for us. We only have the lubrication of Grace from the creative force to smooth the way.

The growth of the mind has not developed with the growth of industrial civilization: like the speed of a snail to an aeroplane, it has a long way to go. If one could but find the desire, it would be advancement enough.

 

Perception is the blueprint for attitude.

 

The civilized person cares deeply, questions perceptions, knows priorities, deals justifiably and spreads sunshine.

 

Only music can capture the present and take it to the future: a melody can bring back the feelings of the past wondrously.

 

There is a limit to the pursuit of good or bad intentions.

 

There is this great receptive quality in the newborn that can remain in seed without the pasturing of outside communication.

 

Pride might well be the stumbling block to wisdom.

 

Unlike that genuine parental love which practices the bottomless caring of parents for offspring, conjugal love is more complex: true love comprises the feelings of all the loves.

People of stubborn or over flexible dispositions can slip into ignorance and ignobility more easily.

 

 

Truth can be elusive and difficult to find in the area of the abortion issue. Nevertheless, it is the guide to whether abortion is right or wrong. Should the life in formation have precedence in importance over the mature physical life-form – the mother’s life? The answer may lie in whether or not abortion brings irreversible damage to the mother’s innermost being. Society has had a hand in structuring the mind of the individual, thereby making assistance in counselling the mother on her decision, a justifiable and profound responsibility.
