...want to tell others (here).


Are there any important lessons / things that you have learned throughout time, throughout life? Tell me: I want to know and maybe learn from your input, as others can learn too from your words. Especially those older members -- above 30 -- I'd like to read from, though age doesn't really matter.


Here are some of my own (mostly old):
-- passion can distort truth and cloud reason

-- pain, suffering, and toil might bring the mind to seek higher purposes

-- to seek truth is a virtuous thing to do

-- there are many simpletons in the world

-- many care not about truth especially if it isn't palatable: palatable lies are much more preferred by them

-- many are still controlled by their emotions, desires, selfishness, irrationality, etc.

-- to rid oneself of passion, emotions, desires, is virtuous and can lead to a clear mind not distracted by those factors, and this in turn will aid in seeking and finding truth

-- conflict is a constant; it is the hard-wired way of nature whereof we're part, and conflict is what humans exercise
-- ^therefore, human peace exists not and is most likely impossible

-- while people suffer, while wars are fought, while people die, while many starve of hunger and thirst, while some are tortured, and so on, many simpletons who have no such problems care about trivial (selfish) matters

-- power, in whatever form whatsoever, doesn't necessarily corrupt people but in most cases just exposes them for what they always were: they were monsters to begin with

-- there's no need for a b'lief in Heaven and Hell: just look at our planet, nature, our way of doing, etc., and there you see a hell already

-- if God is there, He's not almighty or He's an almighty Sadist
-- ^to believe and trust in God is like being a crazy fool

-- many draw outer strength from inner weakness

-- very important things are: justice, truth, virtue, peace, and human-social responsibility.... too bad they are hardly practised.

-- perhaps "we're better off" if we, and everything else, the whole planet, are totally destroyed, our foolish human race, and the cruelty of nature, never to return

-- the more (ugly) truth you know, the more you might suffer

-- a clean-cut well respectable-looking person does not signify a good, moral, etc., person

-- it's not always about who's saying what, but about what's being said

-- if I'd drop dead right now, I'd be the happiest man alive

-- humans, what are they? A bunch of fools that works and plays.

-- a girl broke a nail and told me it was such a bad thing to happen. I told her honestly that it was indeed a terrible thing to overcome her, as her problem was truly much more significant and more grand than other problems of the world such as starvation, war, criminals, corruption, and so on.

-- if this whole planet would explode and everything on it, I'd be the happiest man in the world



And for the record I'm not cynical nor pessimistic nor sarcastic :)
