?? not sure you understand. I mean it is better to only take your own life than to eliminate someone else as well on the way. suicide better than murder/suicide.
oh i see. well id like to make it very clear that I think suicide before murder is not a good idea either. ☺
How indubitably indisputable. Your moral clarity is beyond compare, sir. (Don't worry, I'm just yanking your chain. Not trying to start a fight).
I'd forgotten that song ever existed! Wow. I would assume @Some Guy is referring to his personal universe.
The great thing is that as the likelihood of a multiverse grows, so does the possibility that we could each have one of our very own. I can't wait!
It's one of many quirks we humans have, pushing our own buttons and thinking others have done it. I think that conclusion is along this line of thinking - folks can push our physical form, therefore they can also push our non-physical form. I've since learnt through experience that this isn't the case. I was always pushing my own buttons. Once seen and understood, I simply stopped self harming. "You are powerful beyond anything you've ever imagined, but then you have to recognise responsibility. You are personally responsible for everything in your life, once you become aware that you are personally responsible for everything in your life." - Dr. Bruce Lipton "By attempting to avoid the responsibility for our own behavior, we are giving away our power to some other individual or organization. In this way, millions daily attempt to escape from freedom." - M. Scott Peck "True freedom is an inward state of being. Once it is attained, no situation in the world can bind one or limit one's freedom." - Jack Canfield "Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us." - Stephen R. Covey "Every human has four endowments- self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom - the power to choose, to respond, to change." - Stephen R. Covey "It is wrong to think that misfortunes come from the east or from the west; they originate within one's own mind. Therefore, it is foolish to guard against misfortunes from the external world and leave the inner mind uncontrolled." - Buddha "If you want to follow me to freedom, be prepared to swim upstream, against the river of conditioning. Be prepared to grapple continuously with the fierce flow of negative mental currents. In time our strokes will become effortless and our sense of purpose irresistible." - Buddha "Knowing others is intelligence, knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power." - Lao Tzu "Mindfulness refers to keeping one's consciousness alive to the present reality. It is the miracle by which we master and restore ourselves." - Thich Nhat Hanh
"What do you want, Homer?" "I want peas." "We all want peace, but it's always just out of reach." "Oh." "So, what's the best way to get peace?" "With the knife!" "Exactly! Not with the olive branch, but the bayonet! Ha, ha, Simpson, you're like the son I never had." "And you're like the father I never visit."
As someone whose first wife died in a murder-suicide (she was the former, not the latter), I wholeheartedly agree.
So they all come smiling and confident and unskilled into a technician’s world, and in a few years they learn that it is all going to be grinding and brutal and hateful and precarious. These are the slums of the heart. Bless the bunnies. These are the new people, and we are making no place for them. We hold the dream in front of them like a carrot, and finally say sorry you can’t have any. And the schools where we teach them non-survival are gloriously architectured. They will never live in places so fine, unless they contract something incurable. - John D. MacDonald, The Deep Blue Good-By
"A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again; but if he is peaceful, loving and fearless then he is in truth, called wise." - Buddha "Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth." - Buddha "There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting." - Buddha
What seems to be Is always better than nothing ... - Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins, What a Fool Believes
What makes all doctrines plain and clear? About two hundred pounds a year. And that which was proved true before Proved false again? Two hundred more. -- Samuel Butler, 1678
