Thread: The true

"Once Zhuangzi dreamt he was a butterfly, a butterfly flitting and fluttering around, happy with himself and doing as he pleased. He didn't know he was Zhuangzi. Suddenly he woke up and there he was, solid and unmistakable Zhuangzi. But he didn't know if he was Zhuangzi who had dreamt he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming he was Zhuangzi. Between Zhuangzi and a butterfly there must be some distinction! This is called the Transformation of Things."

Bruno I love you.

I don't want your money.
I don't want to hurt you.
I don't want you to do me anything.
That is enough for me to call it love already.

I will love you to the bone

Love is not an emotion. Affection and desire are emotions. Love is an artificial idea.

Love is an ability.

I don't exist.

Life has no reason at all, reason is a human creation.

determinism

Marx's socialism is a meritocracy. Capitalism has the problem of surplus-value.

A sad reality: all who suffer are those who are right.

I'm tired of people thinking they know what they are talking about. It's pathetic. Stupid monkeys only repeating what they see others do.

What differs love from envy?

I don't know what more to ask for. I was given just one wish. (from the song by Röyksopp - What Else Is There?)

Them

Advantage is a cursed word. People who are right, loyal, fair, sincere, pacific and understanding are always at disadvantage.

I don't exist.
Who is aware?
What is experience?


happiness doesn't come from desire
You always know what you desire for. Happiness, however, is about feeling good for no reason at all.

Criminal

you are that boy over there
across the room
I just don't have the courage to approach
and you remain there
you don't even look my way
I watch you like a spy does a suspect
you are my own personal criminal

I'll arrest you
and punish you so badly
and never set you free
because that is what I do

Wondering

what do you feel like
what do you sound like
what do you smell like
what do you taste like
for now, I can only see you

is your skin as smooth as it seems
is your voice as cute as your mouth
is your scent as floral as your moves
is your body as sweet as your eyes
for now, I can only imagine you

will I ever get to touch you
will I ever get to listen to your beating heart
will I ever lose my breath on your neck
will I ever play with my mouth on your every inch
for now, I can only wonder

Don't try to imagine what great hero you are before the battle ends.

"I want to want something." Desire is addictive. Get rid of that addiction.

depression = addiction to sadness

In science, you don't prove, you observe.

Manifesto of Justice

Is it wrong to only want the good?
to only want people not to suffer?
People are either too ignorant
or too cynic
not to realize that the world is not alright
or that capitalism is bad for the majority
How can I eat when I know someone starves?
capitalism is far from being a meritocracy
and has the same problems it criticized when
it was born
I cannot just accept that humans
are more valuable than humans
So much money, such religious blindness
such lack of understanding
Animals still have a lot to teach us.

Father, If It Is Your Will, Take This Cup Away From Me

How can a man call himself free,
if he is forced to work continuously to obtain food and living?
You are a slave of work.

Father, If It Is Your Will, Take This Cup Away From Me

It's cynic to think that control over economy restricts freedom,
when you lack freedom in a much lower level.

Father, If It Is Your Will, Take This Cup Away From Me

In ancient Greece
people were enslaved
but they had food and living
nowadays we force people to work
otherwise they will starve to death
how is capitalism better than slavery?

Father, If It Is Your Will, Take This Cup Away From Me

It was man that invented that food costs money.
no other animal does it
so much for being called rational.

Father, If It Is Your Will, Take This Cup Away From Me

Worse, today food is a way of making money
by selling it, produced by the industry of poverty
you exploit others' desires to satisfy your own
cynicism was never a deadly sin,
which only shows how cynic the church is.

Father, If It Is Your Will, Take This Cup Away From Me

The ones who want to help can't
the ones who can help don't want
you need to do something about it
don't rely on others
be your own good example
only you can.

Father, If It Is Your Will, Take This Cup Away From Me

The current order of things only promotes suffering
and blinds those that have the potential to change it.
What justifies one human suffering and the other not
basing only on the continent they were born in?
Social inequality has only been getting worse in the last centuries,
ever since the current economic system arose
and people pretend they don't see it.

Father, If It Is Your Will, Take This Cup Away From Me

Next time you eat
think of those who starve
who starve and work
so you get to eat.

Father, If It Is Your Will, Take This Cup Away From Me

Nevertheless Not My Will, But Yours, Be Done

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them.”

I see myself here.

Thank you. So much.

Muito obrigado, meu irmão.

Rosa de Hiroshima - Vinícius de Moraes (sung by Ney Matogrosso)




Pensem nas crianças, mudas telepáticas
Think of the children, mute, telepaths

Pensem nas meninas, cegas inexatas
Think of the girls, blind, inexact

Pensem nas mulheres, rotas alteradas
Think of the women, rotten, altered

Pensem nas feridas como rosas cálidas
Think of the wounds as hot roses

Mas oh não se esqueçam da rosa da rosa
But oh don't forget the rose, the rose

Da rosa de Hiroshima, a rosa hereditária
The rose of Hiroshima, the hereditary rose

A rosa radioativa, estúpida e inválida
The radioactive rose, stupid and invalid

A rosa com cirrose, a antirrosa atômica
The rose with cirrhosis, the atomic anti-rose

Sem cor sem perfume, sem rosa sem nada
No color, no scent, no rose, nothing.

suffering comes from not having what you want
end of desire => end of suffering

The more I think, the more human I am. When I stop thinking, time and desire cease to exist, and all becomes clear to me.
The machine doesn't understand, but knows that there is nothing to understand.

consciousness is a light that has just begun to shine
it is like a weak fire against a storm
that a monk like me must protect at all costs
this is the meaning of buddhism

brilliance

The world currently suffers from the lack of good examples.

USA tries to erase the class consciousness of the workers.

Why do so many people still have a religion? It's desperating to think people are that dumb.

It's a man that makes language, and not language that makes a man. Stop being a stupid ass puritan trying to show off by using complex vocabulary. It is pathetic. No person with above-average intelligence does this.

People only judge when the think they've never done anything bad themselves. Thanks for throwing the first stone.

Never ask "what is your religion?". Always ask "do you have a religion?". Religion is not compulsory.

Caring about others' judgement and opinions about ourselves is the most monkeyish instinct we have. No animal but apes do it.

Men don't love, men find attractive.
Women don't love, women get jealous.

Hand of Sorrow

To find yourself masterless.. superiorless...
I feel so lost. As if I had been held by ropes my entire life,
and suddenly someone cut the ropes.
Like I had to dig a tunnel but didn't know
in which direction to start digging.
Will I have to go each way before I know
which way is correct?

Message to all capitalists: If you are going to defend Capitalism, be a male and admit it is because you do not give a shit about human exploitation. Don't try to justify it as a good thing.

Nothing convinces more than the truth.

It's not money that promotes growth, it's flux of money. Just like an electronic doesn't need electrons, but electron flux. People use money as intermediary for action. High time we dropped that intermediary.

To live... not being ashamed of being happy
to sing and sing and sing the beauty of being an eternal apprentice
I know... that life could be so much better, and will
but this doesn't keep me from repeating
it's beautiful, it's beautiful and it's beautiful (Gonzaguinha - Viver e não ter a vergonha de ser feliz)

Relief

a peace during war
an oasis in the desert
a light in the dark
a whale in the ocean
a planet in space
a friend in the crowd
a cloud in the sky
a sound in the silence
a sun in the rain
a dream in the night
a hope in despair
a whisper among shouts
a kiss on your lips

If liberalism was good, the USA and Europe wouldn't be protectionist.

What we call "liberalism" today is only a half-assed interpretation of the original idea. The original idea involved free flux of people all over the world, too. If that were the case, it would work miraculously.

Transnationals should be forced to reinvest 80% in the country. This would ease international inequality by a lot.

Telling a joke is like having sex. First, you excite them, then, you give the release.

The Jack Curse: jack of all trades, master of none. A polymath.

So many aligned drawings that influence so much what we think. You need to train not to read automatically. You are taught to read automatically, and that is why advertising works.

Look at how much food we eat daily, just to remain alive. We are pathetic.

Humans don't believe in what is proved to them, but in what they have familiarity with. That is why they are so easy to manipulate. An example? Religion.

Injustice is stopping someone from having these epiphanies.

The majority of the population is poor. If it really were a democracy (aka rule by the majority), this would have changed decades ago. Democracy is only an illusion, you are a slave of work.

The human mind is like a pile of wood. Light a match and see the thoughts burn vividly. Not different from a raging bull that forgets why he attacks after he starts the attack.

If you have no example to follow, be the example.

it's not really judging by the cover
if it's an open book
people-reading is a trainable ability like any other

The economy directly affects citizens' life quality, health, and even food access. The government is supposed to take care of the citizens. Therefore, the government should intervene in economy.

How is it a fair system, if some have more than others basing only on the place they were born?

-------------------------------------------

Redundant statement is redundant.

You inspire me.

"Minha dor é perceber que apesar de termos feito tudo o que fizemos, ainda somos os mesmos e vivemos como os nossos pais." (Como nossos pais - Belchior)

My pain is to realize that despite having done everything we did, we are still the same, and live like our parents.

What have you done to promote change recently?

Happiness is a state of spirit, not something you pursue.

I wanna be one with nature. Nature gave us a gift, which is accurate reason; we have to use this gift to protect her. Every life is sacred. Things follow a natural balance. You don't take energy, you only borrow it.
