I like making my own mistakes too ... I'm very good at it!

I'm lost ... what do you mean? You are a lump of cellular matter? You may or may not be human? Could you fill in the gaps please.

Are you not human?

eh?

my ego and I we met once, it was raining I lent him my coat.

Sometimes I wonder if the problem is that people ask the sages for rules and they (probably reluctantly) give out a set which then get written down and changed into dogma - when they were only trying to be helpful. Because in the end the only rule is follow your heart/ follow the Tao ... or however you like to put it.

No I am not a woman - you were supposed to click on the JC link ... never mind try again JC

while wanting a koan you're nothing but a hound dog no buddha nature.

Marbles, Do you mean you respect this woman? JC

Heretic! Burn him! *screams loudly and rushes around with a fiery cross*

That's an interesting one - I thought it meant that you shouldn't accept what everybody says is true just because they say it is (sort of thing). I think they're all good as long as you remember the world Musashi lived in and that he was a swordsman.

Good question. If there was evil intent I would say it was in the man not the woman - on the basis that she just snapped after being subjected to unbearable pressure. But it is equally possible that the man was driven by something he could not control. Despite this I think that we all have to take responsibility for our actions - I don't see the point of the 5 years suspended ... what is that supposed to achieve? She should either serve time or walk free. If the man just deliberately wound her up and abused her for years with a cold heart - then this indeed could be called evil.

live outside of that he said - taking down the tent the sky is my roof.

I really like Gorillaz used to listen to them all the time.

Then what is the result of this? original chi?

To be honest I wasn't being 'philosophical' I was just asking in a simple way whether people thought that there were other people who just liked being malicious - just for the hell of it - and if so wouldn't that be evil. If people act badly - but its either not really their intent or its because they are screwed up in some way then I don't think they are evil in any sense - so you can dismiss everything that's due to mistake, error, stupidity, emotion arising from hurt and so on - then see what's left - if you see what I mean. From a Taoist philosophical point of view bad only exists because of good and so on - its just a relative duality and so there is nothing that is absolutely evil, that's true so the question is just practical and pragmatic really.

my heart not my belly full of love and not jelly, you eat, I feel good.

Hmmm interesting - what about a person who prefers to be malicious rather than kind - not for any reason but just because they can - are they evil? I don't know the answer - just thinking.
