"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for. That my dear friend is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it"

LONG LIVE NURSES


:

Recently. I posted a series of blogs on the topic: "What Is Reality?".
It was a particular experience that I had, which I have attempted to describe below, that motivated me to write the same:

In my early thirties, I was reading two books alternately: “Existentialism” by John McQuarrie, and “Zen Buddhism and Psychoanalysis” by Erich Fromm, D.T. Suzuki and Richard De Martino. At that time, I knew nothing about Zen Buddhism. I was familiar with Psychoanalysis, having read a bit of Sigmund Freud's work; in fact, that is the reason I bought the book.
One evening, I was sitting outside in a shaded area reading one of the books. I think it was “Existentialism” (although I am not certain since it happened so long ago; besides, both books were playing in my mind as I was reading them alternately). I was trying to get an understanding of “existentialism” based on the following quote by the author from the work of Jean Paul Sartre:

“Man's existence precedes his essence. Man first of all exists, encounters himself, surges up in the world – and then defines himself afterwards.
If man is not definable, it is to begin with, he is nothing. He will not be anything until later, and then he will be what he makes of himself.”
Jean Paul Sartre

At the same time, the following quotes from the lectures on Zen Buddhism by D.T. Suzuki in the book, Zen Buddhism and Psychoanalysis, came to me:

“Flower in the crannied wall
I pluck you out of the crannies:-
Hold you here, root and all, in my hand,
Little flower – but if I could understand
What you are, root and all, and all in all,
I should know what God and man is.”
Tennyson

“When I look carefully
I see the nazuna blooming
by the hedge!”
– Basho

Suzuki was trying to point out a difference in the “Western” and the “Eastern” ways of seeing.

Every child believes in santa
Every adult pretends to be santa
He gives presents
He can fly
He only comes once a year
He asks nothing in return
He likes milk and cookies

Ho ho ho
Merry christmas

My soul mate never phones me at work; but she will always answer when I phone her from work wanting to moan about how my day is going. She never tries to start a conversation when I am preoccupied with something else, no matter how trivial my preoccupation is. My soul mate’s preoccupations are never too important to put on hold. When the shopping needs doing my soul mate just does it, or I just do it; we don’t do it together.

My soul mate realises that sex is the last thing on the mind of a man who has just had sex; I realise it is uppermost in the mind of a woman who has just had it. Miraculously, we manage to make this not a problem. Proper soul mates know that beds are only for sleeping in, except when they aren’t only for sleeping in. Most beds seem to be designed for not only being slept in on Saturday or Sunday morning, for some reason.

A soul mate doesn’t have a problem with a man not being unnecessarily emotional, and would never draw attention to the inconsistency of him giving an involuntary gulp at a mawkishly over sentimental scene in a mushy movie. She is also a better actor than the ones in the movie when it comes to pretending to believe he is only watching it for her sake.

Soul mates can witness a man commit the most incompetent of driving mistakes yet still fly of into a rant about the stupidity of the other driver, while at the same time feigning obliviousness towards the real culprit’s rapidly reddening face. Soul mates instinctively know that when you put up a shelf and it falls down, it is the wall’s fault.

If I ever do come across my soul mate, I hope for her sake that my conscience will prevent me from telling her who she is.

Two questions:

Why do we criticize?

When do we criticize?

My take is that if I, which is very seldom, criticize, it is for the purpose of improving a situation. I find it a very effective tool in making things right or better.

What about you, do you ever criticize?

Thanks all for your participation. have a good day everyone.

I don't expect any of you Fox news racists to watch this Ted Talk - but then again maybe, just maybe
