If god is omnipotent, can god make an object so heavy he can't lift it? just think about it for a second. [/quote] The idea behind that is that god can do anything except that which limits his power.

Scrappydoo Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 [quote name='Giant Ninja Robot' timestamp='1297532375' post='497704'] [b]I'm creating a thread in which we can post nuggets of life wisdom to live by.[/b] Those practical and spiritual, anything to make our life experiences more fulfilling and whole. Feel free to turn these posts into existential conversation and debate about life, even if not public and via PM. HOWEVER, this thread will exist in a spirit of positivity and love, so if you wanna be all contentious and cranky, know I will rap-attack you, and I'm a pretty damn good battler. You will taste lyrical doom. Try me. [/quote] I like the Four Agreements by Don Miquel Ruiz, even though I haven't read his book yet. 1. Be impeccable in your speech. 2. Don't take things personally. 3. Don't make assumptions. 4. Always try your best. Sounds like something my dad would say, simple and so true.

Kapten Kanel Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 - The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet - One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision - Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. - It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society - All our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it is the most precious thing we have - The Universe was created the moment I was born and It'll cease to exist when I die - Cant see the forest for the trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angekfire Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 -Anything, and I do mean anything, can be funny under the right circumstances and context. Nothing should be taboo in humour. -Each of us views things differently, and that is based on the experiences we accumulate in our lives. Our reality is different from that of other's because of this. In order to have a more complete view of reality, and allow us to see the views of others, we should seek to gain as many experiences as possible. Whether it is skydiving, or playing tennis, every single experience will lead us to becoming more complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Edify those around you. What good does it do to tear down those around you, when you can build them up? When Chaos and Debasement starts to surround you, you have only two options. Fight it or become it. You cannot run anywhere it cannot follow. Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prangera Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 "Be the change you want to see in the world." -Gandhi This is one of my favorite quotes, very dense with meaning and very proactive. Gandhi's life and work are of great interest to me. Something else to contribute to this particular thread, by me, not some famous guy with a name everyone recognizes (yet), involves the root of all spiritual, religious, and in my opinion even atheistic principles. I believe that there are 2 things at the heart of every true life path: compassion and self-actualization. Every religion I can think of (including smaller tribal/cultural religions) originates its teachings from these two things, and even Atheists would probably agree that if virtue existed, these 2 would fall in that category. Of course, I could be wrong. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atalanta Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 The theme for Master Camp one year was (along the lines of) "It does not matter if you win, what matters is you do not loose." It took me a while to get it, and actually "loosing" a match to drive it home. It's all a matter of attitude. Or, more simply, don't be an ass.
