fear2love: Q.o.T.W.

quote of the week



"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand" -Confucius


Confucius 551BC, profound, amazing, so ahead of his time...or was he? Evidently Buddha was born 563BC? 12 years difference? a coincidence? really?

What "was" that period in history about??? So much implication in every word...for us. Global corporations pushing from spirituality, contentedness, into consumerism and never ending cycles of self-gratification? Happiness Vs Happier? Happiness being a temporary state requiring constant update; as new models arrive, happiness fades. "Happier" sustains over much longer periods; health, energy, being loved, compassion for others, etc, yeild a happier life in general, which does not necessarily recede in actuality. What more do we really have today?


...distinct feeling; very shortly, we will look to this inciteful period of humanity for ultimate awareness into this time we live, on mass and we will listen. What draws, it stands to reason...must draw others.
