GrandmasterP Posted September 28, 2012 No matter how grim things sometimes seem to be things fall into perspective given regular cultivation. No point trying to change the world but changing ourselves, we can all have a go at that. As far as nature goes I'm pretty much in favour of it with the sole exception of slugs. Snails I can live with. Pretty shells even if they do nibble our cabbages. But one finds no redeeming features whatsoever in the common or garden voracious slug. Mrs GrandmasterP is of the opinion that slugs only exist to provide a suitable reincarnation vehicle for door knocking born agains and double glazing salesmen.

Marblehead Posted September 28, 2012 Maybe it's not the world that's wrong but rather our point of view and perspective. You think? Â Hehehe. Â (Or maybe I should have said: No shit!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydog Posted September 28, 2012 Yes good points here.. Afterall when one feels amazing does one feel that the world is not in harmony perhaps we might acknowledge it intellectually but decide not to dwell on it too much, still somehow feeling like the world is not in balance...for example when we feel low, we easily come to low emotional states which tend to manifest in thoughts that are weakest. While the idea that the world is in harmony or not is an idea.. The feeling of being in harmony yourself matters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
