"that their own sacrifice is an incredibly small price to pay for the greater good of humanity, even under such horrid circumstances as crucifixion. "

its a small price to pay but its equally an enormous sacrafice, a miracle. there is no scale...no better or worse

other than that u are completely right....

God is everything, and its always here whether we percieve it all in different ways or not...we've always got the underlying truth..."the world is awake for somebodys sake"- jack johnson

man, the world...the universe...everything in existance is one. Think about it...

just as our hearts are a part of us...we are only a part of the universe.

My heart and your heart are not existant seperately....our hearts both exist in the BIG PICTURE simultaneously...along with everything and everyone else in the universe

but buddhism is a trap man....its so real, but if you start to understand the trueness of it, but continue to live your life for the sake of your own wants and needs...it will make you miserable....at least it made me miserable....

I had to stop reading the books, and completely rid it from my mind...at times it can make you feel optimistic about the world in such a real understanding manor. but at other times it can take your actions, and thoughts, and make it to where you can see right through yourself....thats when you start to feel miserable....you notice that almost everything you do is for the sake of urself....when you are only a PART of the universe.....

with buddhism its all or nothing....

ive managed to step back and approach the world in a different manor....

the earth as we know has gone way beyond where it should have and I personally believe theres no way to help everyone with buddhism....though a real buddhist would not mind because he would realize that the rest of the world IS himself....

thats the problem with the world...everyone has been raised under the influence and illusion that they do exist independently from everyone else...many people have got the idea that humans are unexplainable, but we kind of stand above the rest of the animal and plant kingdoms....its unbelievable that we can question our existance, but its also a poison....purely living is the goal...purely existing
Acouwaila Reviewed by Acouwaila on . The thing about God: He doesn't exist (you do) As far as being an atheist, I doubt I'd adopt the philosophy with any certainty; maybe one day, but I doubt it. But one thing I have been pretty set on over the last few fews years is being an Adeist (lacking belief in a diety). The way I see it, whether you be Christian, Buddhist, or just a God-goin' type of fella: if you believe in an omni-present God, it just doesn't seem logical for it to have any type of singular consciousness, central mind, a separate and distinct being in and of Rating: 5
