MORAL STATISTICIAN. - I don't want any of your statistics. I took your
whole batch and lit my pipe with it. I hate your kind of people. You are
always ciphering out how much a man's health is injured, and how much
his intellect is impaired, and how many pitiful dollars and cents he
wastes in the course of ninety-two years' indulgence in the fatal
practice of smoking; and in the equally fatal practice of drinking
coffee; and in playing billiards occasionally; and in taking a glass of
wine at dinner, etc., etc., etc. And you are always figuring out how
many women have been burned to death because of the dangerous fashion of
wearing expansive hoops, etc., etc., etc. You never see but one side of
the question. You are blind to the fact that most old men in America
smoke and drink coffee, although, according to your theory, they ought
to have died young; and that hearty old Englishmen drink wine and
survive it, and portly old Dutchmen both drink and smoke freely, and yet
grow older and fatter all the time. And you never try to find out how
much solid comfort, relaxation and enjoyment a man derives from smoking
in the course of a lifetime, (and which is worth ten times the money he
would save by letting it alone,) nor the appalling aggregate of
happiness lost in a lifetime by your kind of people from not smoking. Of
course you can save money by denying yourself all these little vicious
enjoyments for fifty years, but then what can you do with it? -what use
can you put it to? Money can't save your infinitesimal soul; all the use
that money can be put to is to purchase comfort and enjoyment in this
life -therefore, as you are an enemy to comfort and enjoyment, where is
the use in accumulating cash? It won't do for you to say that you can
use it to better purpose in furnishing a good table, and in charities,
and in supporting tract societies, because you know yourself that you
people who have no petty vices are never known to give away a cent, and
that you stint yourselves so in the matter of food that you are always
feeble and hungry. And you never dare to laugh in the daytime for fear
some poor wretch, seeing you in a good humor, will try to borrow a
dollar of you; and in church you are always down on your knees when the
contribution box comes around; and you always pay your debts in
greenbacks, and never give the revenue officers a true statement of your
income. Now you know all these things yourself, don't you? Very well,
then, what is the use of your stringing out your miserable lives to a
lean and withered old age? What is the use of your saving money that is
so utterly worthless to you? In a word, why don't you go off somewhere
and die, and not be always trying to seduce people into becoming as
"ornery" and unloveable as you are yourselves, by your ceaseless and
villainous "moral statistics?" Now I don't approve of dissipation, and I
don't indulge in it, either, but I haven't a particle of confidence in a
man who has no redeeming petty vices whatever, and so I don't want to
hear from you any more. I think you are the very same man who read me a
long lecture, last week, about the degrading vice of smoking cigars, and
then came back, in my absence, with your vile, reprehensible fire-proof
gloves on, and carried off my beautiful parlor stove.
As overplayed as it was, it can be pretty powerfull:
Don't worry, be happy!

As flowing waters disappear into the mist
We lose all track of their passage
Every heart is its own Buddha
Ease off; become immortal
Wake up: the world’s a mote of dust
Behold heaven’s round mirror
Turn loose: slip past shape and shadow
Sit side by side with nothing save Tao
- Shih-shu (17th century-early 18th)
The truth is there’s nothing to find.
Life and death are important.
Don’t suffer them in vain.
There’s no advantage in deceiving yourself.
Even if you have mountains of jewels
and as many servants as there are
grains of sand along the Ganges,
you see them when your eyes are open.
But what about when your eyes are shut?
You should realize that everything
you see is like a dream or illusion.

Belated thanks to Clodfobble .
And tell me please how YOU got over those lines , Clodfobble .
( It's a case of 'I'll show you mine if you show me yours' )
I don't understand--do you mean how did I continue to find a reason to live having been faced with Beckett's incisive existentialist summation of life? It's pretty easy, since Beckett is an ass and existentialism is horseshit.
Or do you mean how did I ever memorize my lines in such a tedious script full of non sequitors? I'm an aural learner; I read the play into a tape recorder and listened to it over and over until I knew my lines.
Clodfobble
I find it quite astounding that you confuse existentialism with absurdism . Beckett , like Ionesco , is part of the tradition of the Absurd .
Existentialism is a totally different kettle of fish . You speak of Existentialism as though you had never read Sartre . Existentialism is to do with making sense of the absurd , being engagé . I could go on about Camus too , but I shan't .
You speak of reciting lines without understanding them . Beckett would have loved you , and Sartre would have scorned you . I hope that you now know the difference between absurdism and existentialism .

Beckett has been claimed by both schools.
I enjoyed doing that play. Did some of his shorts as well.

Washed or pressed? :lol:
Well , I can say that Beckett has totally ruined all enjoyment I have in life , rkzenrage . Beauty and faith have been totally eclipsed . I live because I cannot die . I am a Christian , but it is in another sort of box . Of course I feel passion and love , and I do not want to die , but there is always that starkness behind everything .
I do not take any sort of medication . I am a healthy and pretty woman , the mother of four children . I am married to the father of those children . He loves me , and I love him . We like food and wine and travel ,and we have plenty of love and money .
And yet I wake up every day with the terrrible weight of the human condition .
Actually , I should not blame old Beckett for that . I would have felt that feeling of starkness without him .
Washed or pressed? :lol:
Doh!:eek:
Beckett or anyone else should not be blamed... I guess, just anyone who opens your eyes is a key... but one chooses to see.
However, I do not see it as darkly as you.
Ah, but life is suffering, Buddug. Or, more precisely, life has suffering, caused by desires and wants.
But can be relived... there is the Path.
It has been so long since I have heard that.... I honestly have forgotten.
*chagrin* I used to see it all the time as avatars.
I like the piece below. It comes from a book by Julian Barnes , entitled 'A History of the World in 10 1/2 days .'
"The materialist argument attacks love , of course; it attacks everything. Love boils down to pheromones, it says . This bounding of the heart, this clarity of vision, this energizing , this moral certainty, this exultation, this civic virtue, this murmured I love you, are all caused by a low-level smell emitted by one partner and subconsciously nosed by the other ....
Do we believe this ?
Well , let's believe it for the moment , because it makes love's triumph the greater.
What is a violin made of ? Bits of wood and bits of sheep intestine. Does its construction demean and banalize the music? On the contrary , it exalts the music further."
I think that this text can also help us to think about other aspects of what it is to be human .
Bump...
This isn't really a quote, but its something that I saw and it made me smile. Plus I got to resurrect an old thread...
I work at a nursing home,
Every day, I see an old man pushing an old woman in a wheelchair with Alzheimer's around the building.
One day, I asked the man how his wife was doing. He laughed at me and said "that woman is not my wife, she is the wife of my best friend, who died years ago."

You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands - your own. - Mark Victor Hansen
“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.”
If you're talking behind my back, you're in a good position to kiss my ass!
It's pretty easy, since Beckett is an ass and existentialism is horseshit.
The brain of Clodfobble is both wise and succinct.

It sounds like an overwrought way to say we only hear what we want to hear or are able to understand.
Or "You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think." something like that.
That's what I thought at first, but to extend it to books is really a stretch. :confused:

Basically what I am getting at is that when people have first ahnd experience with something, hands on, so to speak, they have a greater foundation from which to speak. For example, if you have never smoked pot, you really can't say what it is about. People often times go through life living through the experiences of other people, and taking that second hand experience as truth. If I have never known anyone who was schizophrenic, I can read all day long about the disorder, but now that I know someone who is schizophrenic, that information falls into place perfectly. Before, I had nothing to put with the information I had read.

Sure, having some experience helps evaluate, and perhaps better understand, what you read., But I don't think lack of experience precludes learning something from books, otherwise we wouldn't use them to teach.

The Master gives himself up
to whatever the moment brings.
He knows that he is going to die,
and he has nothing left to hold on to:
no illusions in his mind,
...no resistances in his body.
He doesn't think about his actions;
they flow from the core of his being.
He holds nothing back from life;
therefore he is ready for death,
as a man is ready for sleep

There is no escape. You can’t be a vagabond and an artist and still be a solid citizen, a wholesome, upstanding man. You want to get drunk, so you have to accept the hangover. You say yes to the sunlight and pure fantasies, so you have to say yes to the filth and the nausea. Everything is within you, gold and mud, happiness and pain, the laughter of childhood and the apprehension of death. Say yes to everything, shirk nothing. Don’t try to lie to yourself. You are not a solid citizen. You are not a Greek. You are not harmonious, or the master of yourself. You are a bird in the storm. Let it storm! Let it drive you! How much have you lied! A thousand times, even in your poems and books, you have played the harmonious man, the wise man, the happy, the enlightened man. In the same way, men attacking in war have played heroes, while their bowels twitched. My God, what a poor ape, what a fencer in the mirror man is- particularly the artist- particularly myself!

never give a permitable reason for violence or the violent will exploit that societal permission.

so you eat 5 times more of it some twisted indulgent logic.

teach a child to love and he will love to obey - Tim Boone
Thats the second time you've quoted that. Its a truly frightening quote.
Inspirational? :headshake
I don't believe sex you mind as well just chop of my penis and shove it in my ear.
Are you saying that you don't believe in sex, and we might as well chop off your penis and shove it in your ear?
Schizophrenic men often have
no sex drive:
Whereas men with schizophrenia frequently lose their sexual drive early in the course of illness and are not likely to be sexually active if their illness is severe, this is generally not true for women. They continue to be interested in relationships and to engage in sexual intercourse.
you're gonna hafta cut and paste that article. it wants a log in.
Interesting, that's one of those cases where getting the link from a Google search result will get you the content without a login. Anyway, it was just an abstract, all it said was:
Whereas men with schizophrenia frequently lose their sexual drive early in the course of illness and are not likely to be sexually active if their illness is severe, this is generally not true for women. They continue to be interested in relationships and to engage in sexual intercourse. Because women with chronic psychosis are seldom employed or well off, their financial need may also lead to the exchange of sex for money. The relative passivity and isolation that accompany schizophrenia are fertile ground for sexual victimization. For these reasons, women with schizophrenia are at special risk not only for unwanted pregnancy but also for sexually transmitted disease. Counseling around these issues is essential.
If you want the whole thing you've gotta get a login to some place that gives access to medical journals:

You also have no sense of logic which is, I guess, why you ask so many stupid questions. Get the fuck back on your medication and stay away from kids.

teach a child to love and he will love to obey - Tim Boone
... you have no idea of love or obediance,, read the bible you idiot, that's where love and obediance come from..
An honest reading of the first quote reveals some truth. If you love your children, they will trust you. If you are worthy of a child's trust his/her default position will usually be to obey.
Love and obedience pre-date the bible which has often been used to force obedience with little love.
Love and obedience pre-date the bible which has often been used to force obedience with little love.
I'm a christian, so the bible is the ultimate authority, Christ made the ultimate sacrifice and that's the love I see, I may not be completely educated in that love but I'm educated enough to obey the 10 commandments which can be summed up with the one quote "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
I have read the bible, I am not an idiot. Blunt, unforgiving and intolerant of twerps like you, yes. I'm interested to see the logical progression to your conclusion that I have no idea of love or obediance. Oh wait.....
...oh and, is obediance a good trait in a human? I'mm'a suggest that without such a wilingness to obey without question, there would be fewer malevolent dictatorships, child molestors, and general abuses of human rights...?
whatever, I don't need your approval to speak my mind.. your just proving my point when you talk about being unforgiving and intolerant, lets see "twerp" that sounds like 7th grade language.. grow up dude there are better things to do that fight over words on the internet.. how old are you maybe you'd per fer a spanking, over education to love..
whatever, I don't need your approval to speak my mind..
Nope, but you should expect that the critical-thinking adults in this community will question your words and expect you to be capable of backing up glib proclamations with solid reasoning. You don't get a free "say crazy shit but nobody can disagree with me" card--here, or anywhere else. The internet, and this community, is not a street corner for your lunatic ravings. You will be required to defend your positions, or face the ridicule deserved by a sloppy thinker. Do you feel the collective pressure of these expectations?
