Quote of the Day......

The great inlet by which a colour for oppression

has entered into the world is by one man's pretending

to determine concerning the happiness of another.

-- Edmund Burke

Revenge.....

Revenge is the refuge of

Lost souls.

* * * * *

In life One unleashes up on oneself in

no less measure than

What one unleashes up on others

who they claim to be their enemy.

Quote of the day.........

"Neither the trappings of robes, 

Nor temples of stone, nor a fixed

Liturgy, nor an extensive literature or 

History is required to meet the test of beliefs 

Cognizable under the Constitution as religious. 

So far as our law is concerned, 

One person's religious beliefs held for 

One day are presumptively entitled to 

The same protection as the beliefs of

Millions which have been shared for

Thousands of years."

-- Judge Jack B. Weinstein(1921-) 
United States federal judge
Source: New York State, 1977

Quote of the day.......

"Whenever a single definite object is made

the supreme end of the State

be it the advantage of a class

the safety of the power of the country

the greatest happiness of the greatest number or

the support of any speculative idea

the State becomes for the time inevitably absolute.

-- Lord Acton
[John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton] (1834-1902).

Quote of the day........

Slumbering in every human being lies

An infinity of possibilities,

which one must not arouse in vain.

For it is terrible when the whole man

resonates with echoes and echoes,

none becoming real voice.

----Elias Canetti, 

Notes from Hempstead.

Power of Ignorance........

Unlike wisdom and intelligence

Power and ignorance often find their ways

By (physically) harming others.

Quote of the Day....

Nothing is more odious than 

an improbable Lie.

--Shakespeare.

     *      *       *      *       *

In life I have made only 

one prayer to God,

A very short one:

O Lord make my enemies ridiculous

And he granted it.

--- Voltaire.

To have Hope......

As Humanity..

Only by being critical of

Everything We know

We will have Hope.

To Harm Others.......

It is easy to harm others....

The desire and even 

The ability to do so

Comes from one's shallowness and

Having lost the way to be content and

Being inadequate and delusional

The accumulation of which in time

That one finds difficult to mend and

Even difficult to reach in or recognize

But in continuation....

Such vulnerability and 

One's inability to come to terms 

With reality.......

Becomes the driving point for

One's indifference to other's suffering and

In one's constant desire to be free 

From such suffering

One comes to rely on a easy way out

Of being malevolent under 

The clouds of one's suffering

Where in the only action 

One does seem capable of

Is to continue to harm 

Others to no avail.

Musings....

A society and its individual constituents

That do not know what is fair and just or act as such,

Such people have set themselves on a wronged path

Which blemishes them in their past, present and

Even future,

Thus making them misguided in the annals of

Human History.

          *     *    *    *    *    *    *

History can not be but off course is impassionate,

Yet is also passionate in its true markings and

It can not take sides,

But can only present reality in its objective

For it to be truly relevant.

      *    *    *    *    *    *    *

There is nothing in the nature of bigotry

That does trample over everything ,

Including what is Divine and

Sane and Sacred to human societies.

Mischief and Beyond......

To carry mischief beyond Zest / Jest / Gest

is A Criminal Act in the making.

To Deceive...

Often the desire to deceive others

Comes from self deception.

Reflections........

There is no fate that cannot be 

surmounted by scorn.

  *     *        *        *        *

The evil that is in the world 

almost always comes of ignorance, and

 good intentions may do 

as much harm as malevolence 

if they lack understanding.

      *        *        *        *

Freedom is nothing but 

a chance to be better.
 

      *        *        *        *

Too many have dispensed 

with generosity 

in order to practice charity.

       *        *        *        *

How can sincerity be 

a condition of friendship? 

       *          *          *           *          *

A taste for truth at any cost is

a passion which spares nothing.

    *        *        *        *

Every revolutionary 

ends up either by 

becoming an oppressor or 

a heretic.

    *     *        *        *        *

Real nobility is based on scorn, 

courage, and 

profound indifference.

     *        *        *        *

At any street corner 

the feeling of absurdity

can strike any man in the face.

---- Albert Camus.

The becoming of Evil.....

When One's thoughts are engaged in

A willful action of compromising others

Ones thoughts are subversive to be

deemed evil in their complete extent.

Capitalism and Charity.......

There is no true charity in Capitalism.

Ending..

People often don't know how to end

Because it seems they began by A false start.

A Ritual....

A Ritual is a Primitive way of

Finding High

Not about getting

Enlightened.

History...( of ideologies.....)

History is for those

who knows where they come from and

where they are going

Otherwise History can have

One as Captive audience

with out any One really knowing

The True nature of History.

God is Every where........

If one were to truly believe and seek God

Turn one's Heart in to a Temple

That is the best Temple

Any body can ever build for One's God.

Bots / Robots......

It is not the machine 

That needs to be moral
 

But the man behind it...and
 

A moral human knows very well

The true nature of things 

As they stand......
 

Not as willed as this or that or 

In one way or another
 

Very few have understood 

The predicament of Deluzian ways
 

Nor do they know....... 

The moral hazard of 

Being a Bugger.
