About John Nash: some thoughts

~ I always thought that John Nash go crazy at his own will to shun the responsibility of being a father. Not joking.

噢 always think

有些精神病, 是與腦的物質變化有關. 所以,部份病有很強的遺傳傾向. 不一定與想得多少有關.

小花生 >>I always thought that John Nash go crazy at his own will to shun the responsibility of being a father. Not joking.<< How do you know that? Any evidence supporting your points?

偶然 >>No matter how smart (powerful, rich, healthy) you are, we are all heading the same direction in this unpredictable dream of life; and it is only love which binds us together and gives us comfort during this journey.<< 聚有時,散亦有時;緣起緣滅,一切隨緣。

to ： Benson // No matter how smart (powerful, rich, healthy) you are, we are all heading the same direction in this unpredictable dream of life; and it is only love which binds us together and gives us comfort during this journey. // 十三點 the Copycat ： You spelled out what I wanted to say. This is in fact exactly how I feel. When I read this last paragraph, I had the feeling that I was reading my own words. You are so ~~~~~~ <^___________________^>

~ Becoming the Ally of All Beings By Sharon Salzberg In the Buddhist tradition, bodhisattvas are those who, aspiring to enlightenment, make a resolve, "I vow to attain full enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings." It means that we recognize our own liberation is intertwined with the liberation of all beings without exception. It means that, rather than seeing other beings as adversaries, we must see them as colleagues in this endeavor of freedom. Rather than viewing others with fear or contempt, which arises from a belief in separation, we see them as part of who we ourselves are. It may seem impossible to genuinely care about all beings everywhere. But developing the heart of lovingkindness is not about straining, not about gritting your teeth and, though seething with anger, somehow covering it over with a positive sentiment. Lovingkindness is a capacity we all have. We only have to see things as they actually are. When we take the time to be quiet, to be still, we begin to see the web of conditions, which is the force of life itself, as it comes together to produce each moment. If we re-vision our world and our relationship to it so that we are no longer trying to fruitlessly control but rather are connecting deeply to things as they are, then we see through the insubstantiality of all things to our fundamental interconnectedness. There are no barriers; there is no separation. We are not standing apart from anything or anyone. We are never alone in our suffering, and we are not alone in our joy, because all of life is a swirl of conditions, a swirl of mutual influences coming together and coming apart. By going to the heart of any one thing, we see all things. We see the very nature of life. ================================== Shambhala Sun Online www.shambhalasun.com I personally like this magazine very :)

A Finger Just a few weeks ago, I broke one of my fingers -- a fracture. At that time, it didn't hurt much, but it was swelling up and turning purple. And what scared me the most was that it looked lifeless, didn't want to move much, as if it were dying. I shuddered at the thought of losing it. At the same time, I realized it was part of me, a friend who was always there and never turned away. Realizing this made me feel a sense of sorrow, a sentimental affection. I began to blame myself for its suffering. I stroked it gently, trying to comfort it, maybe wanting to promise that I would take good care of it, and love it.

Benson i also have the same feeling as you....but it's hard for a people to do that...

i mean...it's hard for pll to always to treasure what they are having at present...

To: Bread Pitt I like your name. :)

a quote from Nash Nash on his illness, in a recent interview in HK. //it seems that the battle is over, but for other people this battle continues. the same sort of situation could occur. however, unfortunately, i don't have a general recipe or remedy for mental illness or irrationality or insanity. how to come out of it. i do feel that in many cases , people don't want to come out of it. they are too comfortable in their certain state of mind. and maybe for that reason they are not ready to come out of it. you know society gives certain advantages to people who are not sane. you can even get away from murder if you're considered to be insane.~ ~// He sometimes enjoyed the state of irrationality!

對於手指的問題 何太太這樣認為── 對於身體， 曾經驗部分失去的，有機會以後會珍惜． 如果還能得回的話． 曾經驗全盤失控的，有機會以後連身體及意識都視為身外之物． 曾經連身體也視作身外之物的，對於真正的身外之物，有機會完全不計較． 對於身體這"身外之物"以及非身體的身外之物完全不計較的，有機會明白到甚麼才是生命中最重要的． 千錘百煉．對於生命中最重要的事物，依何太太的婦人愚見只剩下愛，人與人之間的愛，有了愛，身體的重要性，只在於其能成為愛的載體．有了愛，所謂的健康不過是一種點綴品．可有可無． 視愛為生命中最重要事物的，他一生中很有可能惟一放心不下的就是"死別"一項． 對於"死別"一項不能釋懷的，有機會穿過神秘或其他二門得到平安的福份．又或透過其他方法放下死別之心頭大石． 對於未能穿過上述任何一扇門或透過其他方法放下"死別"之心石的，何太太但願化身為極微小的天使，盡力減少他們在生之苦．這點她學效耶穌基督． 在偉良留了A Finger一文當天，我為何太太打了以上回應，她想想可能只是一篇垃圾或嘔吐物，又恐膚淺之言丟人現眼，想想還是不貼了．早日我曾聽友人提及半句似曾相識之言，告知何太，何太對自己的看法添了少量信心，後來她說為了把自己覺得重要的想法與人分享，還是下定決心著我貼上來，並吩咐我要以井蛙為網名．因此，這是我在此站第一次用採菊以外的網名貼文．

何太太妳好！ 抱歉，我不太清楚怎樣的事物才算是身外物，精神以外的事物？ 個人感想是：任何事物都可以成為愛的對象，你無須去選擇，而只須去感應。當你感受到愛的時候，你無須去想，因為去愛是最理性的決定。只有當愛受到個人的經歷所磨損而使人變得冷漠的時候，才是值得我們停下來去反思的時候。 另外，不健康的極致是死亡，我相信某個健康程度是人能夠去愛的必要條件。 謝謝。
