“Sometimes we just need someone to show us something we can’t see for ourselves.”
"Without fear, anyone's moral code is bound to crumble." -Wendy B
That doesn't sound right...
So patience... is nothing...
If you had one leg being pulled by reality, and one leg being pulled by spirituality, where would that leave you, huh?
It does, if you understand that "fear" drives us as humans.
The fear of going hungry. The fear of not having money to "live". The fear or death. Of failure. Of unacceptance. Of love..or not being loved. And so on....
"...Because all you of Earth are idiots!" - Eros, "Plan 9 from Outer Space"
fear of being caught
fear of negative consequences
Alright
Tap the lightpole and we'll be jammin all night
And ain't nobody callin' the cops
'Cause everybody's here freakin', if they're older they're doin the rock
And every block from all around
Comes runnin' to the park when they hear the sound
And soon the word's spreadin' through our part of town
"Yo, 40 Park y'all, Jam-On's gettin down"
Yeah...

"What, Wheeljak? You fell in that open manhole?
How is that possible?

So true, Wheel.
I love the summer months!
I don't know, Wendy... I tend to believe that love is truth, and fear is not... and not necessarily existing in the world of opposites, where everything has to have the "other side".
But, I think I might understand what you guys are trying to say about fear...
My sense of morality (to me) comes from love, also.
So patience... is nothing...
"If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning."

"...But it is amazing how childishly gullible humans are. There are, for example, so many different religions — each of them claiming to have the truth, each saying that their truths are clearly superior to the truths of others — how can someone possibly take any of them seriously? I mean, that's insane. ...Though I sometimes call myself a crypto-Buddhist, Buddhism is not a religion. Of those around at the moment, Islam is the only one that has any appeal to me. But, of course, Islam has been tainted by other influences. The Muslims are behaving like Christians, I'm afraid."...
"Any path to knowledge is a path to God — or Reality, whichever word one prefers to use."...
"The greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion."...
"I'm sure the universe is full of intelligent life. It's just been too intelligent to come here."
