Look for the compassion within. This is the inner connection to the outer beauty you perceive in the world. How can anyone who says they see beauty in the world hold themselves to a cultural standard of beauty which places themselves at low quality? The perception of beauty comes from the beauty within, not the images of beauty in the culture. If you see the beauty then you are beautiful. Look deeper. Reveal your beautiful soul.

nope, i meant everyone.

i'd also like to see some reputable sources backing up your above assertion, please.

i find it extremely hard to believe that a majority of funds handed over by all western charities are mis-used by these governments.

if this was the case why would organizations like unicef even exist?

there is more that is done and can be done than handing over a wad of cash to their government and just hoping that they use it "well".

i mean... does it usually even work that way, anyway?

if we're gonna talk corruption, i think it'd be best to examine these charitable organizations themselves.

it's important to choose what you support wisely, no doubt.

and i see no reason why any of this should be a reason to not try to "help". possible misuse of funds certainly isn't the fault of the people you're trying to "help".

i was talking to my friend about this very issue just the other day.

he brought up the same concerns.

i think it's difficult to set such western standards of "right" and "wrong" to different cultures.

for these people, high mortality is a way of life.

it's outrageous to expect them to just stop having children.

i mean, how high was infant mortality rate in medieval europe?

where would we be today had these people just stopped having babies?

(probably better off given how things have turned out, but that's not the point)

but a suffering child is a suffering child no matter what part of the world you live in.

i think you should start saying "what i support is what i am", you vainglorious piece of shit.

hippy.

haha
im talking about psychicvampirealiens

No. If you feel justified in ignoring any of the ugliness in the world just because you personally are beautiful, and if you think that because you buy organic food and recycle you've earned your rose tinted glasses, you're not compassionate at all, you're blind and ignorant.

alright then.

i promise you i truly do disgust myself i just duno what else to do

I didn't say you were hypocritical!!

aw

Yes, hypocrites will support things that give them the image they want. But then they "are what they support", aren't they?...... they are psuedo.. or liars... or .....well, NOT authentic. Eventually their lives will be nothing but a pretense...... a lie..... psuedo; meaningless

.... and their spirits will suffer. They will become empty shells of who they thought they were. They will have no real identity..... or integrity.


They will support deception. They will be "People of the Lie" by M. Scott Peck.

you're absolutely ridiculous!!!

you said, "hypocrites will support things that give them the image they want" - then you proceed to recommend a book written by a fuckin methodist minister who's also a doctor!

you did nothing but illustrate the fact that as per your defintion, you're the biggest "hypocrite" around here.

goddamn...

i don't even really need to troll your posts; you're doing a good enough job at doing it yourself.

wow.

you're dumb.

sounds like it

were all just multiple personalities of a craazy ass narcoleptic butterfly

i dont think this is true. you can see misery and suffering, but your ultimate view of the world can be a positive one, that doesnt make you deluded. it just makes you (any given person) someone with a different belief system than you (you literally) have. it's all about the ultimate context in which misery and suffering, and also love and beauty, exist. no one can prove or disprove what that context is, so it all comes down to belief. to call someone deluded or insane for seeing the world a certain way is to say that they are wrong, but how can anyone do that? you cant tell someone that their view of the 'big picture' is incorrect...

LO fucking L

Ok, I think I'm done finally laughing, so on another note:

I was reading an excerpt on amazon.com of a book I just ordered by my fav Yoga guru. (Happy Yoga - Steve Ross)
He was talking about how happiness is always present within you. Speaking on his travels to India during his studies and meeting Yogis who were painfully anorexic because all they could afford was about a handful of rice a day to eat and living in places consisting of earth and a gutter, yet upon talking to them discovering that they were completely happy. Saying things like isn't it absolutelly wonderful to be here, now, sharing in the existence of this beautiful day.
It got Steve to self-questioning about what the hell was he exactly stressing over or worrying about.

Moreover making the point about some celeb (who he gives the name of "Claire" to) who used to come to his yoga classes before hitting it big. A complete wreck of worry and materialism and struggling to make it big and having nice things and fame/adoration. Sometimes even just up and darting out of class in the middle of it at times and always looking around with mind unfocused.
Until one day in class something inside finally clicked with her and she learned to just toss all the fret and worry aside and stopped dwelling about importance on the material things. The minute she stopped chasing the world, it began to chase her. Started getting acting jobs left and right. Things were looking up.
She used to unload on him about stuff like hoping her credit was good enough to land some green Jaguar she wanted which was more than she could realistically afford.

It's gonna be a good read.
