"Doubt is most often the source of our powerlessness. To doubt is to be faithless, to be without hope or belief. When we doubt, our self-talk sound like this: 'I don't think I can. I don't think I will.' …To doubt is to have faith in the worst possible outcome. It is to believe in the perverseness of the universe, that even if I do well, something I don't know about will get in the way, sabotage me, or get me in the end." -- Blaine LeeIP: Logged |

How all occasions do inform against me,
And spur my dull revenge! What is a man,
If his chief good and market of his time
Be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more.
Sure, he that made us with such large discourse,
Looking before and after, gave us not
That capability and god-like reason
To fust in us unused. Now, whether it be
Bestial oblivion, or some craven scruple
Of thinking too precisely on the event,
A thought which, quarter'd, hath but one part wisdom
And ever three parts coward, I do not know
Why yet I live to say 'This thing's to do;'
Sith I have cause and will and strength and means
To do't. Examples gross as earth exhort me:
Witness this army of such mass and charge
Led by a delicate and tender prince,
Whose spirit with divine ambition puff'd
Makes mouths at the invisible event,
Exposing what is mortal and unsure
To all that fortune, death and danger dare,
Even for an egg-shell. Rightly to be great
Is not to stir without great argument,
But greatly to find quarrel in a straw
When honour's at the stake. How stand I then,
That have a father kill'd, a mother stain'd,
Excitements of my reason and my blood,
And let all sleep? while, to my shame, I see
The imminent death of twenty thousand men,
That, for a fantasy and trick of fame,
Go to their graves like beds, fight for a plot
Whereon the numbers cannot try the cause,
Which is not tomb enough and continent
To hide the slain? O, from this time forth,
My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth!
~ Hamlet (act 4, scene 4)

“History is the present. That's why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.”
E. L. Doctorow
“I am an optimist, unrepentant and militant. After all, in order not to be a fool an optimist must know how sad a place the world can be. It is only the pessimist who finds this out anew every day.”

Not so fast, NosiS. Something tells me its my turn next. "In the Buddhist tradition, it is said that we are in Samsara, and all that exists in Samsara is dukkha. Dukkha is "unsatisfactoriness". Many have called the Buddhist philosophy and way of life pessimistic, even fatalistic. But, according to the Buddhists, awareness of dukkha is the necessary ingredient which motivates the soul to leave Samsara behind. Even our happiness, they say, is dukkha; just beneath the surface charm, it is restless, frantic, threatened, and desperate to prove, defend, and preserve itself. Hope and fear, optimism and pessimism, are not distinct. They are, rather, two sides of the same coin, or two directions on a circular path, inevitably leading back to the point of departure. In order not to travel in circles, we must make no such effort, in either direction, but, rather, we must remain open to the full experience of our condition, which is groundlessness. The ego is ingeniously clever, and is forever inventing new ways in which to protect and preserve itself against this all-consuming experience of groundlessness, yet, all attempts to escape from the immediate realization of our groundless condition lead inevitably back to the experience of that condition. "What you are seeking is causing you to seek." What you will find is that which you are presently rejecting. It is not pessimism, but realism. Whatever beliefs you cultivate, in order to secure yourself against the full experience of your present condition, the reality remains, that you are not through with your suffering until your suffering is through with you. The awakened ones did not shrink to confront the dark night of the soul."

Ustinov was an interesting character. Like H.G. Wells, he promoted the idea of a One World Government. He was an Academy Award-winning English actor, and President of the World Federalist Movement from 1991 until his passing in 2004. Great and small minds have long debated the pros and cons of an unchecked consolidation of power like that epitomized in the One World Government. Some would say it is utopian, and naive. I started a thread in Global Unity, to hear some of people's thoughts on this. "Terrorism is the war of the poor,
and war is the terrorism of the rich."

"Any reader who is looking for a doctrine in it is bound to be disappointed;
and a reader who wants to remain passive and inert is bound to feel empty and let down.
These readers must say that I really say nothing. What does not happen in their case is what I have called 'the beating of the other wing',
which is necessary if that which is said in the text (as the beating of one wing) is to achieve the fulfillment of its meaning and soar up."

Take time today to pause every now and then, take a deep breath of that moment, and know that God loves you. He will whisper “I love you” in a 1000 different ways.— Mark Woodward If we will not learn to eat the only fruit the universe can grow—the only fruit any possible universe can grow—we must starve eternally. — C.S.
