“O God, when I listen to the voices of animals, the sounds of trees, the murmurings of water, the singing of birds, the whistling of the wind, or the boom of thunder, I see in them evidence of Your unity; I feel that You are supreme power, omniscience, supreme knowledge, and supreme justice. I recognize You, O God, in the trials I am going through. May Your pleasure be my pleasure, too. May I be Your joy, the joy that a Father feels for a son. And may I think of You calmly and with determination, even when I find it hard to say I love You.” ThinkingFeelsMayHardJoyFatherSoundVoiceWaterJusticePleasureAnimalTreeLove YouSonWindSingingBirdEvidenceDeterminationUnitySupremeTrialsThunderThink Of YouSay I Love YouWhistlingMurmuringOmniscienceSupreme PowerI Think Of You Author:Paulo Coelho
“In order to understand what is meant by the word 'brain' as it is used by neuroscientists, we must bear in mind the evidence that this organ contains in some recorded form the basis of one's whole conscious life. It contains the record of all our aims and ambitions and is essential for the experience of all pleasures and pains, all loves and hates.” MindWholePainFormUsedHateOrderPleasureBrainRecordsBearsEssentialsAmbitionConsciousEvidenceBasesAimOrgansLove And HatePain And Pleasure Book:Philosophy and the brain Source: Philosophy and the brain
“And that desire-the strong desire to take pictures-is important. It borders on a need, based on a habit: the habit of seeing. Whether working or not, photographers are looking, seeing, and thinking about what they see, a habit that is both a pleasure and a problem, for we seldom capture in a single photograph the full expression of what we see and feel. It is the hope that we might express ourselves fully-and the evidence that other photographers have done so-that keep us taking pictures.” ThinkingNeedsFeelsImportantDoneProblemMightDesireStrongPleasureSeeingExpressionHabitPhotographyEvidencePhotographerPhotographBordersCaptureTaking PicturesStrong Desire Author:Sam Abell

“We feel a deep pleasure from realizing that we believe something in common with our friends, and different from most people. We feel an even deeper pleasure letting everyone know of this fact. This feeling is EVIL. Learn to see it in yourself, and then learn to be horrified by how thoroughly it can poison your mind. Yes evidence may at times force you to disagree with a majority, and your friends may have correlated exposure to that evidence, but take no pleasure when you and your associates disagree with others; that is the road to rationality ruin.” PeopleKnowsFeelsMindBelieveMayDifferentFactsFeelingsEvilForceRealizingPleasureCommonEvidenceMajorityDeeperRuinsPoisonDisagreeAssociatesRationalityExposure Author:Robin Hanson
