Perfect Joy

"Is there to be found on the earth a fullness of joy, or is there no such thing?  Is there some way to make life fully worth living, or is this impossible?  If there is such a way, how do you go about finding it?  What should you try to do?  What should you accept?  What should you refuse to accept?  What should you love? What should you hate?"

(Big break, lots of good words.)

"My opinion is that you never find happiness until you stop looking for it.  My greatest happiness consists precisely in doing nothing whatever that is calculated to obtain happiness : and this, in the minds of most people, is the worst possible course.

I will hold to the saying that: "Perfect joy is to be without joy.  Perfect praise is to be without praise."

If you ask "what ought to be done" and "what ought not to be done" on earth in order to produce happiness, I answer that these questions don not have an answer.  There is no way of determining such things.

Yet at the same time, if I cease striving for happiness, the "right" and the "wrong" at once become apparent all by themselves.

Contentment and well-being at once become possible the moment you cease to act with them in view, and if you practice non-doing (wu wei), you will have both happiness and well-being.""

(Short poem to finish.)

The Drunkards and the Tavern

"I'm drunk and you're insane, who's going to take us home?" (It goes on.) - from the pocket Rumi reader, edited by Kabir Helminski (Shambhala)

"It's not so bad as long as you can keep the fear from your mind." - D. Cooper

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer." - P. Atreides

"Whoever can see through all fear will always be safe" - L. tzu

"When a baby is born it is tender and fragile; when it grows to be a man and dies, it becomes hard and stiff.  it is the same with everything.  Herbs and trees when young and growing are tender and delicate, but when they become old and die, they become rigid and hard.

Therefore, those who are stiff and unyielding belong to the domain of death, while the tender and sympathetic belong to the realm of life...."    Tao-Teh-King

Good taste is death.  Vulgarity is life.

- British fashion designer Mary Quant, as quoted by Tom Robbins in his book Jitterbug Perfume.

Here's a couple from work: 

Closed mouth don't get you fed

How about a cup of shut the fuck up

He's about as squared away as a circle

The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves  what is behind him.

G. K. Chesterton

There is no sight more terrible than ignorance in action.  

Goethe

Here's a few of my various favorite quotes on "friendship".

"FRIENDSHIP is never an opportunity, always a sweet responsibilty. The lamp of friendship always burn with the oil of love. What is LOVE, but the demon inside or is an angel with play on his mind? We know the truth, not only by the reason, but by the HEART. Thus, through LOVE, FRIENDSHIP is the golden thread that ties the HEART of all the world."

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."

"Friends don't come to make us fall, but rather to look for God for call. Friends don't serve as keys to hate, but rather door to a greater faith."

Redbear, my friend, always a pleasure to be, or not to be, in "perfect joy".

The occupational hazzard of making a spectacle of yourself, over the long haul, is that at some point you buy a ticket too. - THOMAS MCGUANE

People who have made up their minds about a man do not like to have their opinions changed, to reverse their judgement on account of some new evidence or new arguements, and the man who tries to compell them to change their minds is at least wasting his time, and he may be asking for trouble. - JOHN O'HARA

Here's some of my various favorite quotes on "love".

"Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable." - Bruce Lee

"Love is like friendship set on fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses." - Ann Landers

"Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards."

Aldous Huxley

"And it seems to me perfectly in the cards that there will be within the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods."
