It is for the same reason that we do have passion in us. It is not because we always suffer the dysfunction of over confidence, rather it is our frustration that we refuse to see what is right from wrong.
But yes you can say that again. I don't blame you. Guilty as charged.
There is nothing more noble than being able to find your inner strength as well as who you are deep down the etch of physicality. In the realm of a very spiritual almost non physical level, it allows us to look at things from beyond. It empowers us to understand things that are not of this world. At least in my humble experience, I can say, there is a reason for everything. Yet it is our inherent choice to to lean on any direction that truly represent our ideals, out dreams, our hopes and our aspirations.
It makes us find who we truly are. And that is a complex journey for most specially those that only lives with what is in front of them.
Then maybe the saying that goes: IGNORANCE IS A BLISS, work for the most of us.
There are so many angles upon which lay the foundation of our development, but when it all comes down to the root of who we are, it is a fact that we came unto this world without our choices. At least from the conception to our maturity. Considering that we all want to be a better person, is there a better way than through the channels of education?
All I am saying is we do have the obligation to attempt to improve ourselves. Learning with purpose to become better is the only way.
Then again sometimes even if we know down to the bottom that what we are doing are absolutely wrong in the face of society and humanity in general, still we do things that are outright injurious and harmful to others. Why? Beats the hell out of me.
Anyway, yes on both of the philosophical direction as to what education can do to us.
Jono, you are not only enlightened, in the world of Zen, you've attained a certain level of undiminished progression. Let's look at it from common sense or the for the good of many. We're not on our own, we're all connected one way or the other, what makes you think that the water that touches the ground you step on isn't the same as the water where my feet stands on?
What makes you not think that the air that once was in your lungs wasn't the same as on mine?
In all technically if you go with Dr. WEISS' Scientific study, yes indeed. Our crucial position and decisions, determine our growth or reduction. It's imperative therefore to enable ourselves to understand and apply universal ethics and morally where it fosters for the good of many if not all. We're all born with good and bad traits. No exception.
Monetary wise is all your inclination, it works both ways, my knowledge is not for sale first of all, second I meant in the fact that your condescending attitude needs to be flushed, which will take a lifetime.
In short, no matter what you do if change and improvement is not in your vocabulary, no amount of teaching will work for you.
First ask yourself what you want in this very limited amount of time. Then go from there. Second, do you have the willingness to do what it takes?
Consider yourself lucky, a most pathetic trait of man. TO expect things to happen for themselves. Not an insult at all.
My my, now I will be your elementary teacher? You can't afford me. And to think that I studied in St John College of England, where nothing outside of the books are taught.
But your willingness to take the responsibility amazes me.
The truth of the matter us, only in learning can we be enlightened, only in the willingness we put ourselves to be equipped with knowledge, then darkness of ignorance is thwarted. Would this be an insult?
Yes confirming the world of realistic demeanor. Insult? How pretentious can you be? That's as real as a human character, did you ask to be non insulting yet real?
Even on the strong basis of John Locke's environmental influence of who we are, shaped by our exposure to our world, isn't enough that our inherent human flaws are not sustained by complete ignorance? That we can learn? That we can change?
Yet only through understanding who we are in this world and beyond?
If we are indeed only a tiny speck of this vast universe, with billions of galaxies out there, totally putting our insignificance at work, can we st least glance at these possibilities?
I have no problem. After all, that's part of our mysterious ways, you are who you are and I am, who I am. In between is all a figment of your imagination or in a moronic world, your limitless incapacity to understand.
Maybe there is no continuity. Maybe we live this life over and over again in the exact same way each time.
If it were true I tend think that your actions in this life are not carried over to the next - if they did this would imply to me a fairness to existence which I don't think exists.
Not a part of me believes that the rich man was a saint in his last life or that the cripple was a murderer in his. My opinion is that karma/reincarnation et al are under the surface a completely barbarous way of looking at the world that we've borrowed from the east because it's trendy(sort of)and because we're lazy and superficial thinkers.[/qoute
Obs, in my opinion, opening our minds to a documented study is not discrediting those that are banal experience we encounter. IMO, it reinforces the growth and development of our limited understanding of our world at large and the universe for that matter.
Tell me, did you choose to be born? Characteristics of your personality, did you order them?
In a larger scale, Einstein, Newton, Galileo, why were there different from the stream of humanity? You Obs, a simple yet extraordinary in your own way. Your mind exhibits a remarkable brilliance, why not everyone?
In a gist: It is a bout a journey of a woman who has lived so many lives at different times and it supports all the scientific evidence that indeed our life at the moment is only a steeping stone to the next.
Question? Why can't we connect and relate?
Because in our limited exposure based on the regression of our actions we won't be able to receive that enlightenment where questions no longer exist.
My simple analysis is that, we haven't reached the stage where wisdom is at the helm of what are, was, and will be.
A God like ability.
Have you heard of the saying? WHEN YOU ARE READY, THE TEACHER WILL APPEAR?
Daniel, you should read it then if you have an open mind, it will take you to a journey that may unlock all the reasons why life is of so much mystery and questions that remain elusive for us to understand is uncovered.
I believe that yes, if we have enough faith to believe then we undertake actions that definitely make sense to connect us from the past in order to move on to the future.
It is called the value of COMMERCIALISM Obs, by the way I am so grateful as always to read you on my writes.
Anyways, have you noticed the cost of advertising on shows like NFL AND some programs that generates millions of viewers? Billions Obs, but it isn't the cost that matters, rather the return. Now if you tell me, it equates to greed that feeds on ego, and ridiculous recognition of fame, I don't know.
But you are right, when it comes to one's value it shouldn't measure onto the credit of materialistic worth but the novelty of what is measured by character and integrity.
Perhaps you are right. But going back to historical accounts, we have changed a lot. We have progressed tremendously on all aspects. We have become more civilized and diplomatic. Given our ability and capability on the merits of technology, if we were not more human now, we could erase our planet in a split second.
But having said that, I am not saying that religion is the only reason why there is violence and inhumanities committed collectively by organized entities.
Today, our world is beset with a very serious commission of caliphating the world and it is rooted from religion.
If you don't agree with this, then you better open your eyes and know that it is so
I do see as a trait of man generally endowed to all. I have said it more than once. We're born with no choices. We're delivered on this world as us. Some good, some bad. Yet we do have the chance to learn what distinguishes these characteristics and then opt to develop those traits that best suit our goals, needs, and ambitions.
Our SOCIETY unfortunately caters most for the capable ones, respects and adoration are seemingly flowered to those who've made it big. Thus it feeds us to accumulate and aggrandize ourselves for those achievement even when ethic and morality are compromised.

many lives, many master's
I am happy for you CC.Learning it however the depth of difficulty we have to put ourselves into, it is the fruit of our labor that counts.
And may I ask? Is it for the better of your life?
