It is true that in the history of human thinking the most fruitful developments take place at those points where two different lines of thought meet. These lines may have their roots in different human cultures, different times, different cultural environments, or different religious traditions.

If they meet; if they are at least so much related to each other that a real interaction can take place, then one may hope that new and interesting developments may follow.

TAO 50- Half Full / Half Empty

Those who leave the womb at birth
and those who enter their source at death,
of these; three out of ten celebrate life,
three out of ten celebrate death,
and three out of ten simply go from life to death.
What is the reason for this?
Because they are afraid of dying,
therefore they can not live.

I have heard that those who celebrate life

walk safely among the wild animals.
When they go into battle, they remain unharmed.
The animals find no place to attack them
and the weapons are unable to harm them.
Why? Because they can find no place for death in them.

We live divided.
Right wing, left wing, blue, red, tea or coffee.
Rape Gaia for the resources to drive an economy.
The rich are evil, the poor are pathetic.
They all steal from us.
Religion is or isn’t the answer.

Your glass is half full- go for the gusto, grab the gold.
Your glass is half empty- bemoan the tragedy of life.
You don’t need a glass to change sunlight into heat.
Rejoice experiencing your participation in thermodynamics.
