"Man is not the creature of circumstances, circumstances are the creatures of men. We are free agents, and man is more powerful than matter."
- Benjamin Disraeli'
Which reminds me-
'Once at a social gathering, Gladstone said to Disraeli, "I predict, Sir, that you will die either by hanging or of some vile disease". Disraeli replied, "That all depends, sir, upon whether I embrace your principles or your mistress."

...One of history's great put-downs.

'What the Buddha Taught'
Lessons from the Buddha...
Doctrine of No Soul (Anatta)
"Two ideas are psychologically deep-rooted in man: self protection and self preservation. For self protection man has created God, on whom he depends for his own protection, safety and security, just as a child depends on its parents. For self-preservation, man has conceived the idea of an immortal Soul or Atman, which will live eternally. In his ignorance, weakness, fear, and desire, man needs these two things to console himself. Hence he clings to them deeply and fanatically."
for those of you who believe in God... please dont take offense.

A quote from Caddyshack, which I memorized for my own amusement. (He's holding a pitchfork to this caddy's throat as he's talking...somehow that makes it, even more hilarious.)
Carl Spackler: So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

and your post about the good thoughts and good results... is that a quote? or your own thoughts. either way, very true. except ive had experiences where i've done good things and have had bad results ... but i guess the good result would have been my own betterment for the good deed.

mmmm... i dunno. i could be the opposite. i think much more clearly when life is fine and manageable. if it's not, i have a hard time thinking straight. just a hard time focusing on extra things other than whats troubling. perhaps after the fact is when i become philosophical... close.
i have thought about that somewhat recently... i've become a little more analytical of the happy moments... they are no less enjoyable, but thinking about it helps to take every moment, good and bad, in stride. helps you remember the sun will rise again, and again, and again...
"But then I am able to overcome it because of the frame of my mind. But when its kind of lost, I guess I tend to become more philosophical......like JD said...to find an answer...."
i dont know that i deal with being lost, not when it comes to my own individual/personal affairs. confused, yes. i visualize life as a web. if i'm tangled, then i may panic at first, but after that is out of my system, i put my focus and my mind to work to put myself back in balance on that delicate thread.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone,
and a day to love someone,
but it takes a lifetime to forget someone

"It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult."
Cappies-dare to live and take a chance. It's worth it. Even if it hurts....then at least you can look back and say-"I tried".

He thought it sounded like a flat tire,
though his ride wasn't affected.
