Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans. ~ John Lennon
I hate that song.Originally Posted by cafolini
Sorry
Do not make the mistake of thinking that because I quote it I'm in love with it. There are some I do love, but there are many interpretations to quotes. It's a sad song. Probably one of regret for having forced plans. And then there is the other side of it, where if no thing is forced, the plans are what life is. We are constantly planning some thing or other.
I love Lennon, but I have no idols. Good response in your own way.
Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often. ~ Mark Twain
Well, It wasn't really a good response. I just have heard that phrase over-used so many times it has become a cliche.
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we might catch excellence. ~ Vince Lombardi
All guarded lookouts have a way to see outwards. But what most men want is to be seen and loved. That's why solitude never fulfilled men's need for happiness regardless of the discourses that they might have fenced rhetorically and consistently. ~ C A Cafolini
"love is not a difficult or complicated thing... but the people are"
its 100 % ture
You'll be surprised. Love is not difficult? Love is simple? Most show their want for it. Few can reach it. They preffer solitude because it's much easier. Maintaining good, rewarding relationships is not simple. It's just as complicated as life. The give and take requires growing, maturing and a certain amount of sacrifice. So does solitude, but the commander has little relationship to what complicates matters.
If anyone thinks that the influence of the United States of America is waning, they don't know what they are talking about. ~ Barack Obama, State of the Union speech, 1/24/2012.

A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears. ~ Michel de Montaigne
"Anybody who stands up and says total freedom might be a good thing is immediately swamped with appreciative letters from old ladies whose twin hobbies are prize cucumbers and the castration of sex offenders."
Alan Bennett.
A philosopher was once a man who loved wisdom (sophistry). When the wisdom catalogs began to suffocate all different possibilities, a philosopher became a man who simply posed questions. But, as with wisdom, he had every answer. So in the last half of the 20th century, when all the answers were catalogued and had began to neosuffocate all different possibilities, he had to be placed in a museum as simply the proprietor of just a narrow way of life. That's how we got rid of the problem. And he is not coming back in any suffocating way. He now sells his books whenever he can. The people were smart to separate church and state, but it took a while longer to do it with the philosopher because the clever beast did not claim more than reason and clever, entangling arguments. ~ C A Cafolini

Chaos is an ancient invention of being and existence. It lingered far too long in the conciences of men. In a postmodern point of view, Chaos is a forced indifference inference on orders we deem inconvenient. Like all products of wisdom, it's impossible as knowledge. ~ C A Cafolini
