“Unless you see your nature, you shouldn't go around criticizing the goodness of others. There's no advantage in deceiving yourself. Good and bad are distinct. Cause and effect are clear. But fools don't believe and fall straight into a hell of endless darkness without even knowing it. What keeps them from believing is the heaviness of their karma. They're like blind people who don't believe there's such a thing as light. Even if you explain it to them, they still don't believe, because they're blind. How can they possibly distinguish light?” PeopleIfsBelieveStillsLightFallCausesDarknessHellKnowingClearEffectsFoolGoodnessAdvantageBlindDon't BelieveKarmaEndlessCriticizeDeceivingGood And BadCause And EffectHeavinessBlind PeopleDeceiving Yourself Author:Bodhidharma
“I believe that if the silent majority were to protest against those who believe in irrational blind faith - who want to go backwards instead of forward, who are for tradition not innovation, who oppose individualism and plurality of thought - then the world would become a truly civilized world in which to live.” IfsWorldWantBelieveI BelieveTraditionInnovationBlindMajoritySilentProtestCivilizedIndividualismIrrationalBackwardsBlindnessBlind FaithSilent Majority Author:Taslima Nasrin
“Absurdism, like methodical doubt, has wiped the slate clean. It leaves us in a blind alley. But, like methodical doubt, it can, by returning upon itself, open up a new field of investigation, and in the process of reasoning then pursues the same course. I proclaim that I believe in nothing and that everything is absurd, but I cannot doubt the validity of my proclamation and I must at least believe in my protest.” BelieveCoursesI BelieveProcessDoubtFieldsBlindCleanI Believe InAbsurdPursueReasoningProtestInvestigationAlleysValiditySlateProclamationMethodical Book:The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt Source: The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt
“Eating at a new, highly recommended restaurant is like a Very Important Blind Date, a contract with uncertainty you enter into with great expectation battling the cynicism of experience. You sit waiting, wondering about the upcoming moments of revelation. Somewhere in the back of your head is the dour warning that disappointment is inevitable but you don't really believe it or you wouldn't be there. The best eaters are always optimists.” BelieveImportantMomentsWaitingWonderFoodEatingExpectationsBlindCookingDisappointmentInevitableUncertaintyRestaurantsRevelationsCulinaryContractsWarningCynicismOptimistGreat ExpectationsBlind Date Author:Stuart Stevens
“In certain cases, a man blind from birth may have an operation performed which gives him his sight. The result: frequently misery, confusion, disorientation. The light that illumines the madman is an unearthly light, but I do not believe it is a projection, an emanation from his mundane ego. He is irradiated by a light that is more than he. It may burn him out.” MenGivingBelieveMayLightCertainResultsCasesBirthEgoSightBlindMiseryConfusionOperationsProjectionMundaneMadmenDisorientation Author:R. D. Laing
“Those who have been indulged by fortune and have always thought of calamity as what happens to others, feel a blind incredulous rage at the reversal of their lot, and half believe that their wild cries will alter the course of the storm.” FeelsBelieveHas BeensHappensCoursesHalfCryBlindFortuneStormRageCalamityReversal Book:Delphi Complete Works of George Eliot (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of George Eliot (Illustrated)
