Re: Looking for the righteous path

The only truly "righteous" thing you can do in your life is mind your own business and let other people live how they want to live, as long as they're not imposing their shit on you. Of course, for most, righteousness equals conforming to some specific dogma or belief and making sure other people do, as well. Locking yourself in a mindset regulated with a set of rules other than "don't be an asshole" is the dumbest and most dangerous thing a person can do to themselves.

Re: Looking for the righteous path

Its hard to speak about righteous in here cause we come from very different cultures and we have different set of models.

The growing way we all know it:
1) childhood
2) school + girl friend
3) work + wife
4) work + wife + kids
5) the end
This is what most of ppl on earth are doing.

What means righteous way?

In a way, is like asking what is the best quantity to put much sugar
in the coffee ? Some like a bit some like a lot some like without sugar, some even put salt in it. But what is the best quantity? there must be a best quantity. The answer is: yes there is but for you and you only. Getting some nutrition tests and a person will be able to tell you in an approximate way the minimum and maximum quantity of sugar you can put in your coffee. That's the farthest you can get.

I believe is the same with the righteous way the only sad part is that we don't know how to analyze our path to know how is righteous future way. But there must be a best way.

The most advantageous way in living your life is not easy to know not even on a large scale. Maybe if we would have some rainbow statistics we would be able to know ~1% of how is better to live your life.
We sometimes can read news like "British researchers found that the longer guys play video games, the higher their levels of concentration" (from here) So we should all start playing video games?

We learn from others experiences yes but we are local centered, we cannot learn from the ppl from the other part of the globe. And we all start from when we are born. If our parents are wealthy, healthy, if we have sisters, brothers, friends when we grow up, when we meet new ppl, when we fight, win or struggle with something, each of these small factors will have great impact on our path, on our development. Knowing what to do next is a challenge, a risk and is life. If in the future we will be able to know exactly the best thing to do next, it will be boring, like living in a cage of rules. Having everything but doing only the same thing because that's what our "best path" is telling us to do. So you're doing what the "best path" is telling you to do?

That's deep!
Conclusion: The Best and righteous way is to not know the path.
Having Guidelines is ok. Having Rules cage is a no, no.

How u can say that and let all that not faithful ppl go to hell for for endless sufferings, risking also not going heaven for that u are selfish cold bastard and don't even want to help humans go the right path...

I wish if there was a way to take what you said in an impersonal way, but unfortunately, you left no chance by what you said to any attempts regarding that,

Let me tell you something....

Ponder with me the creation of woman and man! and how they are having differences but yet equal to eachother!! and one of the things regarding how different but equal they are, that woman is a polite, cute, beautiful and kind creature! while man is sturdy!!

An example would be, let's say that a couple have a child, a son, and in some situation they go through some threat of losing that child, in that case, if the man is not a real man, then in some cases and if the woman is strong enough, she would start trying to be that man he should be for the lack they have from that side, but if he was really a man, he would start thinking using his mind, while the woman would automatically use her emotions and would start knocking and hitting on the chest of her own man, pushing for some solution,

But as soon as her man grips her and say "baby, honey, my love calm down..... we will find a way out and we will find a solution for that.........." at that moment the woman would wake up and realize that the problem is not her man, he is not the trouble but only is her beloved man who is standing and being by her side, while what was causing that negative action was the intense pressure of feelings caused by her emotions toward losing her child

And the matter of how soon she will get out of that emotional situation has got to do with how much intense is that.....

Now your reaction here, is the equivalent of the reaction of the woman in our example above....

She started acting in a negative way because of her intensed emotionals in that example...... so do you in.....??!! our example!!

But your tension, is either coming out of not liking some truthes which could be discussed here as your instinct could be telling you which is something very smart in every human no matter how limited the capabilties of their minds.... or either because you are trying to defend some people here I happened to be speaking with.....

Or, both probablities do apply! hmm...... since it is how it looks like!

With regards of .... equinox, he is one of my e+ friends! and I am sure he would understand why I said what I said,

And for your record, I said what I said to him, trying to teach him learn when to be serious and when are they, joking times.....

And with regard of .... fala, I never thought he would think of bringing his own man to take care of his own issues at conversations too......

But it's alright, it's all understood.......

----

----

Please don't take that with hard feelings!

When a younger brother commits some bad mistakes, his older brother could slap him over his head, and would say to him "wake up....... stop committing these mistakes, and try to be a man"

So by all I said above, was being that older brother of your's slaping you over your head to wake you up and for to stop commiting the same type of mistake..... so look at the bright side of all I said, because it will eventually help you along the way to become a better man!

Now tell me, there is a fixed rule here which most of us know, that is "never catch both negative and positive electrical wires of a 240 volts supply and up, with naked hands, specially while wet or near water.....

This is a fixed (regulated) rule!

Is it a good and working well rule or bad?

bad?

Also try to learn a word better than asshole, because it has no meaning in here! you are just using it being unable to find words which could express your feelings and opinions, as these types of words don't come out of your mind, they come out of your emotion and reflect quality of your personal, so be careful with that,

If you feel intensed, because of some truth being revealed that you don't like, the least good you can do is ignore it, or speak something well and try to prove it as wrong if you can, while intense comes from the fact that you can't so just try to accept it, because that to be better for you! and for your life!

Oh oh how smart was that Fala!!!!

You are reading my mind actually!

Listen what, why don't I just sit back and you take care of the talking for me? what do you say? you responded to him with the very most answer of which I would have,

You thrilled me.... oh oh

Actually, I never thought you would be that stupid nor that mindless chicken to do something like that,

Remember that some of the rules which this conversation is desirably to be standing upon is not to insult or abuse anyone, any group of people......etc

But if you are ready to testify that virgins are nasty, you first need to remember that your mother, your sisters, your girl, and your daughter's happen to be all virgins someday in their lives!! and if you care to throw some type of abuse toward women, you need to know that it goes first toward the closest to you!

And keep for your record, that ladies no matter how nasty or bad or unkind they are, collecting all the bad about all the women which are, been and will come to earth can't be equal to a filthiness, of only one stupid mean ignorant evil man!!

With regards of the many virgins which God speaks about regarding the life after the resurrection day,

This is something you might not know!! which is that a good man always see his wife becoming more beautiful, no matter how old she gets, he will always find what is growing better and more beautiful in her,

This is something that only a mindful good man knows, or feels and experience it besides knowing....

So the thing regarding heaven and virgins got something to do with this fact, but it speaks of itself and how your mind operates for the way how you thinking of that!!............

@

Epsi, that was so kind, polite and senseful speech! Happy

But also as you said, there will always be the dead middle of what is right! meaning (one best way of the good ways and the righteous ones!)

And regarding the many things you mentioned and didn't have the chance to mention here, you can be right too, sugar, salt, meat, vegetables, video games, sport..........etc, each person could have some specific levels of something as the dead middle of good and righteous of course depending on their situations.....

As we are from many different cultures yes, means we have different life styles.....! but there is always a general idea,

You did name it and not me! get born, grow up, girl friend, marriage..... wife and kids....etc,

But we all at last are from the same mother and father! we all at last are humans..... with no racist opinion

(We Are All The Same!!)

Regardless of if you readers believe in God or not, please bear with me, God said in the saint books to us humans (no different levels between one and another of you humans, except with moralities and humanitarian principles, righteousness and truthfullness, and while putting them into consideration and doing it all for the sake of God) which means no difference between rich and poor, nor president and janitor except by these things, and of course with the personal qualities,

And the more someone could be putting them into consideration the higher level that person is to be, and at the side of religion, of course the better is the more to be considering them for the sake of God!!....

Regarding the most righteous of all righteous ways of the many things we know in this life,

1400 years prior to this age of life, Someone called Mohammed been on earth as a messenger of God, and he simply made a very short yet strong and effective answer regarding the many different things and actions we know in this life..... 3 words!! (kheir alomor alwasat) meaning (best of the matters are the middle level of) like not to have much water nor a little, for example not much tea per day nor a little

Now as humans and with no difference between one and another no matter how different the level of economical life or the life style, with some general known common standard base of life,

Birth,

growth,

Companionship....

Spouse, Parents, grandparents, childs, grandchilds

......

............

...................

.............................

....................................Death

And if there is life after death or not,

If death is the beginning of the real life or what?

There is, and logically must be some most righteous path of all the good ones or the basic general standard ones we are having and dealing with throughout this life, (our life)

Here were this discussion to be concentrated on.....

Thank you very much for your comment again, was so nice senseful, most importantly, mature!! polite and so kind!!


Have fun at E+ and never take it with hard feelings no matter how much you lose nor how much stupid or dump or punk or bad or blithering idiot the player you are playing with really is, it's just a game and we are here to have fun and enjoy our times!!

Re: Looking for the righteous path

Fala, it's never was about "good person -> heaven, bad person -> hell" [as you trying to say, I assume). Even the biggest criminalist, the biggest enemy of humans, the worst bad-ass that you can even imagine, man who was the biggest enemy of religion, he burned churches, raped childrens... Even he can be in heaven. It is about if at the end you will regret for your sins you've commited, if you forgive yourself everything and also if you forgive everything for every human, no matter what they did.

There's also a Bible tale about super-good human and one bad man. At the end the good one went to hell because he was thinking he was better human than the bad one.

All I said above really is The Final Judgement [eh, I don't really know how to translate it to English, it's "Day of Doom" or one I can be sure, in German it's "Jüngste Gericht"). Modern religion scientists gives a new look on it. It's not like after death you go somewhere, staying in line with other souls to be judged, finally you see God and he judges you. Nope, really it's your own about yourself. I mean there's no like 100% probability of anything we know, but that's one of the most likely happens. At the end you see yourself, all the things you did, bad and good ones, seeing just everything you did. Then you decide if you were good human being or not, and if so, how much you regret it.

Did I just went on religion? Damn, I already can feel your cold breath while you've read this post Confused

Anyway, what's the most righteous path? There's none like them. There's only a righteous path for yourself. You've got to find it on your own. Nobody can tell you what shall you do. I used to be an asshole, I grow and when I understood what's going on I decided to change myself. Worked. Feelin' better than never before. Just be a good man "make good not evil" and... catch a vibe : )

_= edit: Holy Sheep, GMZ! o.O I just finnished the old one and there's a new one already, heh.

There is nothing more boring (or dangerous I would posit) than religious zealots trying to convert us heretics. Also you will find that ideas about the golden mean date back to Aristotle in Europe, and much longer back in the rest of the world.

Re: Looking for the righteous path

Until there is solid proof of any type of deity or "righteousness" or "heavens" or what have you, I'm not going to feel obligated to attend a church of any kind, or consider myself part of a religion. I like to enjoy every day as my last, and do things I enjoy rather than trying to find some righteous path in life. From my perspective, I don't see anything "in" religion; basically I don't see the point. Things I do understand are meeting new people and helping out a community, but everything else seems quite silly in my opinion. And as of this moment, I believe that nothing happens upon death and I'm willing to accept that given that I have a somewhat decent life to live and die for. But my knowledge and opinions come from a different perspective than most of the people on this forum, I'm just some silly 'merican.

Dangerously cheesy.

Wouldn't it be better if you said "speaking about religion could be very dangerous......." and bring some examples of that, without mentioning words like, boring or bad..........etc

Again, to everone! please leave aggressive emotions and hard feelings toward anything, leave them outside this conversation..... just speak with sense, science, logic and mind
