The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of those depths. |

There is a simple rule here, a rule of legislation, a rule of business, a rule of life: beyond a certain point, complexity is fraud. You can apply that rule to left-wing social programs, but you can also apply that rule to credit derivatives, hedge funds, all the rest of it. |

May peace rule the universe, may peace rule in kingdoms and empires, may peace rule in states and in the lands of the potentates, may peace rule in the house of friends and may peace also rule in the house of enemies. |

When there are multiple versions of a story, you really have three ways to go. You can pick the most sensational version. You can try to balance things in your gut to get to what you think is the honest truth. Or you can err on the side of kindness. |

I think that the romantic impulse is in all of us and that sometimes we live it for a short time, but it's not part of a sensible way of living. It's a heroic path and it generally ends dangerously. I treasure it in the sense that I believe it's a path of great courage. It can also be the path of the foolhardy and the compulsive. |

If you were a Colombian, you would have your version of an empanada. If you are an Argentinean, you might find a dough that's baked and has a butter sheen on it. And then in Ecuador, you'll find more crispy-fried empanadas. So, yeah, every culture has their own version of empanadas. |

Is it or is it not ethical to create an embryo, and to create a person for the purpose of getting an organ to give to someone else? Your knee-jerk reaction is 'absolutely not;' but you need the ethical analysis of that to show why and how that is something that you need to stay away from. |

If Confucius wasn't born, the long night would have no bright lamp. |

The golden rule is that there are no golden rules. |

You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by; but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by. |

I had a dream where I was trapped in a house with a bunch of people and there were things that would kill you but every couple minutes you could say something out loud that was like a rule about what couldn't kill you. There were certain restrictions on the rules you could make but if you said "I can't die from a knife wound" then if you got stabbed you would come back to life. It was like a terrifying game of trying to predict what would kill you and making valid rules.

Hybrid Rice Engineered With CRISPR Can Clone Its Seeds
A gene editing technique has been used to produce asexual rice, which could carry traits such as high yields and drought resistance. From a report:
After more than 20 years of theorizing about it, scientists have tweaked a hybrid variety of rice so that some of the plants produce cloned seeds. No plant sex necessary. The feat, described earlier this month in Nature, is encouraging for efforts to feed an increasingly crowded world. Crossing two good varieties of grain can make one fabulous one, combining the best versions of genes to gi...

I basically meant that there are those who have not embraced a certain path and are testing the waters of many different teachings where as others have come to follow a single path already and a farther along it than beginners.

'Great Dying': Rapid Warming Caused Largest Extinction Event Ever, Report Says (theguardian.com)
Rapid global warming caused the largest extinction event in the Earth's history, which wiped out the vast majority of marine and terrestrial animals on the planet, scientists have found. The mass extinction, known as the "great dying," occurred around 252m years ago and marked the end of the Permian geologic period. The study of sediments and fossilized creatures show the event was the single greatest calamity ever to befall life on Earth, eclipsing even the extinction of the dinosaurs 65m years ago. Up to 96% of all marine species perished while more than two-thirds of terrestrial species disappeared. The cataclysm was so severe it wiped out most of the planet's trees, insects, plants, liza...

Awesome -- what does this mean though:
" a pinecone to represent being on the correct path and see them often when im thinking about something of a spiritual nature and often take whether its open or closed or theres a lot or there particularly pretty as various levels of my spirituality at the moment. when i feel shitty i feel i tend to see more fucked up ones. "
When the path is open? or the pinecone? Then what happens?

its really random and i didnt realize the frequency at which it was happening. just had a flash back to this marshy path by a river and a field that i remember in my dreams as a kid. it is very similar to an area near where my mom lived altho it wasnt it exactly. i remember several pretty much pointless dreams that took place in my elementary school at the other end of this path, both in the physical and dream world.
