Quote:All these talking about the "strunggle-war between Good & Evl"... it's all Greek to me!
There NO such thing, for me. This is a theory of religions, created for "small minds" folks, like ancient Jewry tribes or the Muslems tribes...
Limited to religions? Partly a matter of semantics? We're all "small-minded" from some perspectives. :lol: Perhaps we agree to disagree on "Good vs. Evil".
Quote:The Creator made us and GAVE us mind to use it; he's living us to made our choise; there is NO GOOD or EVIL efforts, that we living; it's OUR efforts, OUR responsibilities...
Good & evil, good & bad, helpful or harmful, positive or negative, pleasure or pain, selfish or selfless, etc. Partly a matter of perspective, partly a matter of semantics. A rose is a rose... Things exist regardless of our views & judgments. Our thoughts, our words, our actions. All our responsibilities. The consequences of our words & actions, partly our responsibilities too.
Quote:Anyway... Back to the "descoveries"... Always is nice to finding "new" things to study... Even from "lower" culture, than Greek.
(My opinion, NO OFFENCE to ANYONE; please forgive me, if I made mad someone...)
I wouldn't say "always" here. Life's short (for me), so I'm semi-selective about most things (not perfect though... :lol: )
Perhaps "lower" culture in some ways, but "higher" culture in others. Depends on specifics, definitions, perspectives, etc.
From other sources (not previously in this thread):
Quote:"People are disturbed not by things, but by the view they take of them." -- Epictetus (ca. 55-135 AD)
(Maybe not so when one person physically acts upon another person, e.g.: to confine, starve, torture, etc.)
No offense taken here. Only words & ideas. Examined lives. So, we agree on some things, disagree on others, in various aspects & degrees.
