Wise Words From Wise People Thread

[uslspct]

So I'll be posting quotes here from time to time. Mostly wise sounding ones, maybe some funny ones too. Some are from unknown origin. I keep a list of any I deem worthy that I come across on a daily basis. I suppose I could buy a book too, but that's no fun. Feel free to discuss or mention if it means anything to you. Or maybe I'll just post em for the heck of it for myself. Here goes...

It was the devil's bargain for it offered all the joys in life, of music and sex, law and justice,
and the noblest ideals of humanity. But it also brought destruction, cruelty, and fear. All of this
is civilization, and if you wish it's benefits, you must take all of it's qualities. It is for you
to use them with restraint and with wisdom.

To my fellas chasing ladies at skirvy ass bars;

You fish in a dirty pond, you'll catch dirty fish.



Something else I've said for years;

Let people be people, they'll screw themselves eventually.


Something that actually matters that I say;

Show people a problem, often times you are now a part of that problem. Let people find the problem on their own, it means something different all together to them and you are no longer involved.

DON'T BE A PART OF THE PROBLEM.





To the point of the thread;



It doesn't really mean anything to me-other than the person that wrote it must have lived in a society that had ran its course. I think anyone with an open mind understands the flaws and fallacy that comes with a society in supposed harmony.


Unfortuneately for us, most people are stupid and close minded so the "society" approach, with its flaws and all-are more pleasurable and easier to adapt to. Look at the way the amish are viewed compared to people living in the city. This "walk in the park" way to life has equated to less motivated people that are struggling to avoid the self destructing cycle of FAT, LAZY, and UNMOTIVATED. Its easy to see the self destruction that accompanies the convenience in an established society. People don't generally have the discipline to sustain themselves for the long term, and in large cities all over the country you can observe people that have "self destructed" in the masses. Large cities are also the only ones with enough tax money to support flocks of worthless people with their hands out looking for freebie's.






And we still haven't figured out how to avoid the honest truth's they were talking about, how many hundreds of years ago?

Thats the part that I think is cool. I think any jackass with an open mind could connect those dots in todays world. Its cool that back then they had the same philisophical approach and its still applicable- at least in some ways.

I have much respect for the Amish considering how anti-religion and God I am. Self sustaining humble people, have their own rules and morality, and pride in their traditions and family. Would survive no problem while 99% of the population would die if water or electricity was cut tomorrow. It is a lesson I think we could adapt in this country, to let certain states or even "tribes" of people determine how they want to live instead of the federal govt overseeing everything. Would ease a lot of fighting between people who are never going to get along no matter how much you try and force them.
But I don't think they advance society or people in any way, if that is the goal. There are no indulgences nor terrible strife in their community. I think having our cake and eating it too is possible, somehow...
