ethos 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2002 This first one is truly "material life" on a bumper sticker: The man is thinking, let me enjoy this beautiful woman. The woman is thinking, let me control this man. This second one is very descriptive of our freedom: A dog's master is he who feeds him. In the present age, a person's master is he who gives him a paycheck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ethos 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2002 Yes, there are exceptions to everything. But the exceptions here are so few - given the universal population - that you don't even need to talk about them. First establish the principles and then talk about the exceptions - these are just principles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ethos 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2002 A little clarification of my original post: If you look at all the activities in the world; science, recreation or "making money" - they all basically are meant to provide facilities for the home or the "family unit". And that arrangement is based on sex! Now spiritual life can be summed up in one sentence. Who can do it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
