Sunday

 
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. Do not believe in anything because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason, and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, accept it and live up to it."



Buddha

I enjoyed this thought
 
it is true, human nature is to see what you believe:)
 
been awhile - any new
 
To bear the manifestation of others is a big thing. The last thing for a man.
 
Its a lovely thought... Makes me think, sometimes in life we tend to believe in what is most gratifying.. and convenient...
 
Believe in truth ... :o)
