truth-of-life

Because I don't live in either my past or my future. I'm interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy man. You'll see that there is life in the desert, that there are stars in the heavens, and that tribesmen fight because they are part of the human race. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we're living right now.

It is not courage that makes us speak the truth, but it is a hunger for truth that makes us courageous

You must confront your past. At some time or other you must confront your past. It doesn't flash before your eyes, I knew that, but it's always there. We are our past. There is nothing else, and none of it can be undone.

To value learning as a gift, you have to accept pain as a teacher.

Life's generally artless, but it does get these occasional hard-ons for plot. It connects things, nefariously, behind yor back, and before you know it you're in a final act of a lousy movie. A lousy horror-movine, usually...

Songs. Books. Poetry. Paintings. These things reveal truth. I believe lies and truth are tangled together.

For of what account are Truth and Love when Life itself has ceased to seem desirable?

No matter how much you love someone, time heals your pain and your death wish.

Look, everyone mourns at their own pace. Maybe you're just a little bit ahead of her, but she'll get to you eventually. The important thing is that you keep trying to talk to each other, even if it's difficult at first. It gets easier. I promise.

Belief is a wonderful way to pass the time until the facts come in.

Life is a continuum of problems to solve and lessons to learn. Once you accept this truth, then the problem you__e facing is no longer a problem but rather an opportunity to learn.

With God, there__ always an appointed time for things, and when you put Him first, trust in His timing, and keep the faith, miracles happen!

Stored personal memories along with handed down collective memories of stories, legends, and history allows us to collate our interactions with a physical and social world and develop a personal code of survival. In essence, we all become self-styled sages, creating our own book of wisdom based upon our studied observations and practical knowledge gleaned from living and learning. What we quickly discover is that no textbook exist how to conduct our life, because the world has yet to produce a perfect person _ an ideal observer _ whom is capable of handing down a concrete exemplar of epistemic virtues. We each draw upon the guiding knowledge, theories, and advice available for us in order to explore the paradoxes, ironies, inconsistencies, and the absurdities encountered while living in a supernatural world. We mold our personal collection of information into a practical practicum how to live and die. Each day we define and redefine who we are, determine how we will react today, and chart our quest into an uncertain future.

There is no human-like god. If there were, he'd be as silly as you.

If kindness wins, accountability rules.

God is more than able to guide you in the right path. Keep trusting Him.

Stop thinking that nobody is __ood enough_.

The space between between breaths is measured in moments. But the space between Truths..? Lifetimes.
