“Suppose you and I argue. If you win and I lose, are you indeed right and I wrong? And if I win and you lose, am I right and you wrong? Are we both partly right and partly wrong? Are we both all right or both all wrong? If you and I cannot see the truth, other people will find it even more difficult. Then whom shall I ask to be the judge? Shall I ask someone who agrees with you? If he already agrees with you, how can he be a fair judge? Shall I ask someone who agrees with me? If he already agrees with me, how can he be a fair judge? Shall I ask somebody who agrees with both you and me? If he already agrees with both of us, how can he be a fair judge? Then if you and I and others cannot decide, shall we wait for still another? Waiting tor changing opinions is like waiting tor nothing. Seeing everything in relationship to the heavenly cosmos and leaving the different viewpoints as they are, we may be able to live out our years. What do I mean by seeing things in relationship to the heavenly cosmos? Consider right and wrong, being and non-being. If right is indeed right, there need be no argument about how it is different from wrong. If being is really being, there need be no argument about how it is different from non-being. So, forget time; forget distinctions. Enjoy the infinite; rest in it.” - Chuang Tsu

Self-Defence “The desire to do harm, to hurt another, whether by a word, by a gesture, or more deeply, is strong in most of us; it is common and frighteningly pleasant. … What is it that we defend, that we so carefully guard? Surely, it is the idea of ourselves, at whatever level. If we did not guard the idea, the centre of accumulation, there would be no “me” and “mine.” … You are nothing. You may have your name and title, your property and bank account, you may have power and be famous; but in spite of all these safeguards, you are as nothing.” #krishnamurti Commentaries on Living https://jkrishnamurti.org/content/series-i-chapter-39-self-defence/%22you%20and%20nothingness%20are%20one%22

If you think you can rule the world you are a psychopath.

"If you wonder why I—a woman of color, an African, a former Muslim, a former asylum seeker, and an immigrant—look at the antics of today’s anti-Israel, anti-American protesters with such fear and trembling, allow me to explain."

What is at stake in our ability to see the threat plainly? Nothing less than the preservation of our way of life.

If thought and energy can flow freely between all humans, then perhaps see can find a way to live in peace. This is why #nostr and #bitcoin are so important.

Does mental health exist? Or is it just an idea that thought has created? Is mental health a goal to be attained? Is it a product to be bought and sold?
