Philosiblog.wordpress.com Website Review

ps – if you followed me here at philosiblog.wordpress.com, you may need to re-follow me at philosiblog.com, as it appears that part did. always look at what you have left. never look at what you have lost. – robert schuller. scoop on the ground, at the risk of what is left in the cone? you don’t want to learn that lesson twice! this quote is urging us to go against a basic force of human nature. if you drop one thing, what do you look at, the one you dropped, or just like the kid with the three-scoop ice cream cone, when the top scoop slide off and hits the floor, what do they do? they look down. and they lean over a little bit, and the second scoop falls off. have you ever done that? it’s not a lesson you forget. but still, we tend to be like that child, staring at the lost ice cream scoop, at why would we do that? i have no idea. but i’ve done that and seen it plenty of other people do the same thing. the quote urges us to avoid looking at our losses, but instead, to look at what remains. this is a matter of focus. if you are looking for, and focused on, what has been lost, you will see nothing but loss. that’s not going to be good for your attitude or motivation, is it? somehow, i doubt it. is this possible, or impossible? look closely, it’s a real place, not something from the imagination of mc escher. are you tricking this quote is from a poet and writer of ballads in hungary in the 1800s. given the way poets tend to write things, this makes perfect many things are impossible, given our present knowledge and technology. but dreams are not ruled by the laws of physics, at least and so it is in love, at least according to the poets and the hopeless romantics. but can this romantic notion be applied to a broader can love conquer all (to paraphrase another quote)? love of country, love of charity, love of justice? these have prevailed throughout the ages, and i believe they can triumph even in the face of impossible odds.. the opponent of peace of mind is not something external, but within us.
