death ideas two
To my mind, there are two things that, in life, you can do about death. Either you can choose to ignore it, in which case you may have some success in making the idea of it go away for a limited period of time, or you can confront the prospect of your own death and try to analyze it and, in so doing, try to minimize some of the inevitable suffering that it causes. Neither way can you actually overcome it.
death views clothes
I hold the view that death is rather like changing one's clothes when they are torn and old. It is not an end in itself. Yet death is unpredictable-you do not know when and howT it will take place.
pain joy feelings
Where there is a mind, there are feelings such as pain, pleasure, and joy. No sentient being wants pain: all wants happiness instead.
common-sense way humans
There must be a way of promoting human values without involving religion, based on common sense, experience and recent scientific findings.
needs ends needs-of-others
By being inattentive to the needs of others, inevitably we end up harming them.
lying community world
In the modern world, the interests of a particular community can no longer be considered to lie within the confines of its own boundaries.
responsibility keys survival
Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace.
communication common confrontation
We have global communication and yet confrontation is more common than dialogue.
animal suffering social
We are social animals. Others' suffering is ultimately your suffering; their happiness is ultimately your happiness.
friendship genuine-friends rights
Genuine human friendship is on the basis of human affection, irrespective of your position. Therefore, the more you show concern about the welfare and rights of others, the more you are a genuine friend. The more you remain open and sincere, then ultimately more benefits will come to you. If you forget or do not bother about others, then eventually you will lose your own benefit.
real war anger
The source of peace is within us; so also the source of war. And the real enemy is within us, and not outside. The source of war is not the existence of nuclear weapons or other arms. It is the minds of human beings who decide to push the button and to use those arms out of hatred, anger or greed.
desire negative sometimes
Sometimes, whether a desire is excessive or negative depends on the circumstances or society in which you live in.
animal people satisfaction
Basically, a human being is a social animal. So, if you create some short moment of happiness for people, you get deep satisfaction.
keys contentment attaining-happiness
A sense of contentment is a key factor for attaining happiness
