Philosophy Quotes

We come to enjoy; we are being enjoyed. We came to rule; we are being ruled. We came to work; we are being worked. All the time, we find that. And this comes into every detail of our life. We are being worked upon by other minds, and we are always struggling to work on other minds. We want to enjoy the pleasures of life, and they eat into our vitals. We want to get everything from nature, but we find in the long run that nature takes everything from us - depletes us, and casts up aside.

we, they, you, i, her, him, us, those people, you people, black, white, yellow, brown, jew, christian, hindi, muslim, yuppie, poor, rich, king, pauper, president, mayor.......we are all a wheel of life and we all depend on each other for existence, we all breath the same air and we all strive for the same perfection in life, we are essentially one being.......our color may be different, our beleifs and interpretation of god may vary a little, our governmental values are different to say the least, our morals and values are galvanized to our heritage and our traditions, our food choices are in sinc with our cultural and geographical stance, our intellect is founded on ones freedom to explore and cultivate our minds, our technical and health is controlled by access to money and the home we live in is determined by the job we contribute too......we love, we hate, we idolize, we have passion, we dont care, we love family, we hate family, we love men, we love woman, we love both.......we are tall, we are short, we are fat, we are healthy, we are sick, we are deformed.......we are we and i am i and you are you.......this is called planet earth....we spin around the sun in harmoney with the galaxy, we set the pace of each other's life today and we are history and an old picture tomorrow......the land, the air, the sea, the mountains are a landscape of our time and we occupy that space for a short time before we become part of that landscape with the dust from our bones......we are one, we are in total harmoney of each other and without our differences and contrasts and colors and passions and life and death, we would be nothing but a blank canvas.......

god is the artist; he uses the same brush, just applying different colors, textures and designs to the canvas as his moods and passions guide his hand to create the landscapes, cultures, political upheavel, fathams, riches, destructions, opportunities, advancements, setbacks, beauty, uglyness and war and peace to his abstract masterpieces as some see it or failures as other's see it....beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the beholder isnt always beautiful............
