“Love is without a doubt the laziest theory for the meaning of life, but when it actually comes a time to do it we find just enough energy to over-complicate life again. Any devil can love, whom he himself sees as, a good person who has treated him well, but to love also the polar opposite is what separates love from fickle emotions.” WellsPersonsEnoughEnergyLove IsEmotionDoubtTheoryDevilOppositesTreatedMeaning Of LifeGood PersonFicklePolar Opposites Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“William James used to preach the "will-to-believe." For my part, I should wish to preach the "will-to-doubt." None of our beliefs are quite true; all at least have a penumbra of vagueness and error. What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite.” ShouldBelieveWantedUsedBeliefWishDoubtOppositesErrorsVagueness Author:Bertrand Russell
“Faith always presented to the mind the idea of an abnormal intellectual condition, of the subversion or suspension of the critical faculties. It sometimes comprised more than this, but it always included this. It was the opposite of doubt and of the spirit of doubt. What irreverent men called credulity, reverent men called faith; and although one word was more respectful than the other, yet the two words were with most men strictly synonymous.” MenMindTwoIdeasSometimesSpiritDoubtAtheismConditionsIntellectualOppositesCriticalPositive AtheismFacultyOne WordRespectfulAbnormalCredulitySuspensionSubversionIrreverent Book:History of the rise and influence of the spirit of rationalism in Europe Source: History of the rise and influence of the spirit of rationalism in Europe
“Remember that hate is not the opposite of love as people think. Hate is love standing upside down; it is not the opposite of love. The real opposite of love is fear. In love one expands, in fear one shrinks. In fear one becomes closed, in love one opens. In fear one doubts, in love one trusts. In fear one is left lonely. In love one disappears; hence there is no question of loneliness at all. Love is when you have known your inner sky. There is no higher religion than love” PeopleThinkingRealRememberHateLeftLove IsKnownDoubtSkyLonelinessHigherStandingLonelyOppositesDisappearShrinksUpside Down Author:Rajneesh
“As soon as we ask what faith is and what sort of mistreatment of faith causes doubt, we are led to the first major misconception about doubt-the idea that doubt is always wrong because it is the opposite of faith and the same thing as unbelief. What this error leads to is a view of faith that is unrealistic and a view of doubt that is unfair.” FirstsIdeasAsksCausesViewsDoubtMajorsOppositesErrorsUnfairMisconceptionUnbeliefAlways WrongMistreatment Author:Os Guinness
“We [No Doubt] were making music that was the opposite of grunge and what was popular on the radio, and we were fine with that. And for a garage band, we were massive! We were already successful in our own minds.” MindSuccessfulDoubtFineBandOppositesRadioNo DoubtMassiveGarageGrunge Author:Gwen Stefani
