chaz5 16-Dec-11, 07:37	"Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me; I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved." ... Will Rogers

shamash 04-Jan-12, 02:58	listening, connecting, taking action "In trying to convince people to act, we are typically tempted to do two things: convert people to our cause and impart vast amounts of information about it. Both are a bad idea. A shared world-view need not be a prerequisite to action. And the more information we transmit, the less people absorb - or act. Resist the desire to persuade by preaching in great quantity. The answer lies in listening and connecting. It is not about what you have to say; it is about what people want to discuss." -Katya Andresen
henry10 04-Jan-12, 03:02	Zorroloco(Jeff) It is blasphemy if you also don't mention all the other references in the bible regarding the loneliness and disillusions in the bottom of the barrel of wine.In the beginning of Revelations it states that it is of extreme danger to add or subtract ...even one word thereof. In another context (mythology) one may glean what happens to a son of the mother(Mescal) when he got "motherless drunk" on, what we in the modern world, call tequila and killed his own mother.
henry10 04-Jan-12, 03:36	Shamash;The listener Do you subscribe to being a prolific "Listener" ...especially if the sole agenda is the well being and survival of the disenfranchised ,yet ...but willing people and the visionaries representing them. "Resist the desire to persuade by preaching in great quantity.The answer lies in listening and connecting". That oozes wisdom from your part. One would then deduct that you are an prolific "Listener" providing the agenda is of mutual importance both to the disseminator and the evaluator?!Also that you are not a prescriber of sorts.

shamash 10-Jan-12, 04:02	On making a difference "One option is to struggle to be heard whenever you're in the room... Another is to be the sort of person who is missed when you're not. The first involves making noise. The second involves making a difference." --Seth Godin
chaz5 10-Jan-12, 07:42	Shamash ... ... and there are those who make a difference anonymously.
zorroloco 10-Jan-12, 08:22	thought thought looks into the depths of hell and is not afraid. ~ bertrand russell
shamash 10-Jan-12, 23:45	Chaz. . . yes, that is the most ethical course. And, sometimes, people who are victims, victims frozen in situational passivity, need a highly visible role-model who takes action.
zorroloco 17-Jan-12, 12:33	The advance of liberalism... [encourages] the hope that the human mind will some day get back to the freedom it enjoyed two thousand years ago. ~ Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1821

zorroloco 29-Jan-12, 06:57	religion is like a penis it is fine to have one it is fine to be proud of it but please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around and PLEASE don't try to shove it down our children's' throats!
itchynscratchy 30-Jan-12, 02:54	"I can live with doubt, and uncertainty, and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I’m not absolutely sure of anything, and in many things I don’t know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we’re here, and what the question might mean. I might think about a little, but if I can’t figure it out, then I go to something else. But I don’t have to know an answer. I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn’t frighten me." Richard Feynman
deadofknight 30-Jan-12, 08:26	You sound frightened and alone.
shamash 30-Jan-12, 08:32	more Dick Feynman How wonderful to have a quote from Dick Feynman, who also wrote in a letter: <"Dear Mrs. Chown, Ignore your son's attempts to teach you physics. Physics isn't the most important thing. Love is.">
zorroloco 30-Jan-12, 08:38	feynman was a genius...and an awesome human being!
henry10 30-Jan-12, 08:43	Love & Physics But Real Love is Chemistry?! Always has and always will be.
deadofknight 30-Jan-12, 09:00	Nice quote. I like this one from him: "Theoretically, planning may be good. But nobody has ever figured out the cause of government stupidity—and until they do (and find the cure), all ideal plans will fall into quicksand."
normalwisconsin 04-Feb-12, 16:39	I don't know what a scoundrel is like, but I know what a respectable man is like, and it's enough to make one's flesh creep. Joseph de Maistre
henry10 07-Feb-12, 06:29	It sharpens one`s perception Adversary is life`s tool to sharpen one`s perception. It is harmonized with disillusion...the healthy kind.
shamash 07-Feb-12, 14:09	A sentiment inspired by the Kabbalah: << “When you get busy taking care of others, the Light gets busy taking care of you.” >> --Karen Berg
