What goes around comes around.

A quote, from Lucius Accius: "Let them hate, so long as they fear."

LIFE: Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce. Do not regret growing older... It is a privilege denied to many! Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. Remember: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - strawberries in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO! ! What a Ride!" Good friends are like stars.... You don't always see them but you always know they are there REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY...GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL. We make a Living by what we get, We make a Life by what we give. God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

"You can measure the true worth of an individual by how she treats someone who can do nothing for her." It is a saying that I got from a nursing book when I used to work at a hospital.

The Guy in the Glass by Dale Wimbrow, (c) 1934 When you get what you want in your struggle for self And the world makes you king for a day, Just go to a mirror and look at yourself And see what THAT man has to say. For it isn't your father or mother or wife Whose judgment upon you must pass, The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one staring back from the glass. Some people might think you're a straight-shootin' chum And call you a wonderful guy. But the man in the glass says you're only a bum If you can't look him straight in the eye. He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest, For he's with you clear to the end, And you've passed your most dangerous test If the guy in the glass is your friend. You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years And get pats on the back as you pass, But your final reward will be heartache and tears If you've cheated the man in the glass.

My philosophy by Dr. Seuss: "Be who you are and say what you want, 'cause those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."

:When you come to the end of all the light you know, and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things will happen: there will be solid ground beneath you or you will be taught how to fly.." -unknown

Be not the product of your emotions but the master of them, for only then shall control truly be yours. - BlackWhisper

I like this from William Blake "If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thru' narrow chinks of his cavern."

Be nice.

Rene Descartes said, "I think; therefore I am."

for want of a nail, the horseshoe was lost, for want of a horseshoe the seedwas lost, for want of a steed the message was not delivered, for want of an undelivered message the war was lost.

The entire universe is in a state of entropy, so change is both inevitable and unavoidable. Staying the same is impossible. The best we can hope for is to wisely choose the speed and direction of our next change. _________________________________________________ No one person can ever change the truth, but the truth, once learned, can and will change the person.

A warrior's greatest weapon is and will always be, WISDOM, therefore let us keep our minds even sharper than we keep our swords!

"There are only two kinds of people in this world. There are those who choose to study, practice, and perfect a martial art, thereby becoming a living weapon, and those who choose not to, thereby becoming living targets." Master Wu 1372 A.D.

Love the LORD with all your heart and will all your mind, and Love your neighbor as yourself.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

"Wu wei" "Wu wei" is an important tenet of Taoism that involves knowing when to act and when not to act. Wu may be translated as not have; Wei may be translated as do, act, serve as, govern. The literal meaning of Wu Wei is "without action" and is often included in the paradox wei wu wei : "action without action" or "effortless doing". The practice of wu wei and the efficacy of wei wu wei are fundamental tenets in Chinese thought and have been mostly emphasized by the Taoist school. The aim of wu wei is to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium, or alignment with the Tao, and, as a result, obtain an irresistible form of "soft and invisible" power.

Let your emotions give you the power to do something but let your logic decide what to do, in the way gas in a car's tank gives it the power to be driven but gas itself can not be the driver ... ... also "logic is important, but, a mind all logic is like a sword that is all blade ... useless." (Romulan vs Vulcan).

My best friend wrote it in one of his logical rampages that he gets sometimes. "What is life but the sensory reactions that tell us what it is? Does it exist? Does anything but you exist? Why does anything matter at all? ANYTHING? The human mind is incapable of telling us. It is the illogical dysfunctional organ that controls human actions on every level, and it may never let us learn the answers. Does anything around you appear the same to your friends, family, or neighbors? Do they even exist? All we can be sure of is ourselves supposedly, (I think, therefore I am), but why do we allow ourselves to be sure about so many things? As you walk along, to the store, in the halls of your school, to home, ask yourself these questions."

"Little do ye know your own blessedness. For to travel hopefully is far better than to arrive. And the true success is to labour."

Jeremy Bentham's simple statement about what's most important in ethics: "The question is not, 'Can they reason?' nor 'Can they talk?' but, 'Can they suffer?'."

This is my life motto... I live only once, so I live to the fullest.

Things with no mass can only exist when things with mass support them. A word has no mass. Sound waves have mass but they only carry the word, no sound waves no spoken word. Ink and parchment have mass but they only record the word, no ink and parchment no record of the word existing. If there is no longer any record and no-one speaking the word then the word no longer exists. Electricity has no mass. Chraged particles have mass but they create the electricity, no chraged particles nothing to create it. Wires and plasma have mass but they only transport electricity, no wires or plasma no current of electricity. No particles to create it and no wires or plasma to channel it then no electricity. Software has no mass. Programers have mass but they create the software, no programers no creation. Hardware has mass but it stores the software and allows it to work, no hardware no storage. No programers to create and no hardware to store, no software. Actions have no mass. Muscles have mass and they create the action, no muscle no action. Bones have mass and they are what is caused to move. No muscles to move and no bones to be moved then no action. Thoughts have no mass. Ions have mass and they create the thought, no ions no creation. Brain cells have mass but they only move the ions and store them. No organized ions and no brain cells to organize nor store ions, no thoughts. A soul has no mass. Bodies have mass and they have a soul living inside them, no body no home. No body no action, no action no definition of who you are. No body no thoughts, no decisions of what to do can be made. No mass, no home, no definition and no decisions leave you with nothing! When you die so does your soul.

The meaning of life is to live.

IF A MAN WHO CANNOT COUNT FINDS A FOUR-LEAF CLOVER, IS HE LUCKY? -Stanislaw J. Lec

Death isn't the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss, is what dies inside. While still alive. In life its charecter, not wealth, that matters. For wealth is inevitable for change. But charecter will always remain.

"He is the richest who is content with the least, for, contentment is the wealth of nature". - Socrates.

Jackson Brown "Every man dies, not every man truly lives"--william wallace "to know sadness, guarantees happiness"--me "to live s to suffer, to survive...well thats to find the meaning behind the suffering"--DMX "all suffering originates from creation, the creation of religion, the creation of ownership, the creation of needing"--me

I have three: "It is wrong in all cases to believe on insufficient evidence; and where it is presumption to doubt and to investigate, there it is worse than presumption to believe." - William Kingdon Clifford "Aging really is barbaric. It shouldn't be allowed. I don't need an ethical argument. I don't need any argument. It's visceral. To let people die is bad." - Aubrey de Grey "The question is not, 'Can they reason?', nor 'Can they talk?', but 'Can they suffer?'." - Jeremy Bentham
