Destructive Quotes - Page 7

• How very important it is to bring about in the human mind the radical revolution. The crisis is a crisis in consciousness, a crisis that cannot anymore accept the old norms, the old patterns, the ancient traditions. Considering what the world is now with all the misery, conflict, destructive brutality, aggression and so on... man is still as he was, is still brutal, violent, aggressive, acquisitive, competitive and has built a society along these lines.

• Fama o integridad: ¿qué es más importante? Dinero o felicidad: ¿qué es más valioso? Éxito o fracaso: ¿qué es más destructivo? Si buscas la satisfacción en los demás, nunca estarás realmente satisfecho. Si tu felicidad depende del dinero, nunca serás feliz contigo mismo. Conténtate con lo que tienes; alégrate de cómo son las cosas. Cuando te des cuenta de que no te falta nada, el mundo entero te pertenecerá.

• La pasión libre es radiación sin radiador, un calor fluido y penetrante que fluye sin esfuerzo. No es destructiva porque es un estado de ser equilibrado y muy inteligente. La autoconciencia inhibe este estado de ser inteligente y equilibrado. Al abrirnos, al dejar de aferrarnos a nosotros mismos, no sólo vemos la superficie de un objeto, sino que lo vemos en su totalidad.

• When the days become longer and there is more sunshine, the grass becomes fresh and, consequently, we feel very happy. On the other hand, in autumn, one leaf falls down and another leaf falls down. The beautiful plants become as if dead and we do not feel very happy. Why? I think it is because deep down our human nature likes construction, and does not like destruction. Naturally, every action which is destructive is against human nature. Constructiveness is the human way. Therefore, I think that in terms of basic human feeling, violence is not good. Non-violence is the only way.

• It were indeed to be wish'd that our art had been less ingenious, in contriving means destructive to mankind; we mean those instruments of war, which were unknown to the ancients, and have made such havoc among the moderns. But as men have always been bent on seeking each other's destruction by continual wars; and as force, when brought against us, can only be repelled by force; the chief support of war, must, after money, be now sought in chemistry.

• Resort to science has rendered modern war so destructive of life and property that it presents a new problem to mankind, such, that unless our civilization shall find some means of making an end to war, war will make an end to our civilization.

• A life without a lonely place, that is, a life without a quiet center, easily becomes destructive. When we cling to the results of our actions as our only way of self-identifiction, then we become possessive and defensive and tend to look at our fellow human beings more as enemies to be kept at a distance than as friends with whom we share the gifts of life.

• The past year's natural disasters have highlighted the invaluable contributions of volunteers in our communities. They have volunteered their time, energy and skills to save lives and to rebuild communities. In this they joined countless people around the world who volunteer every day in response to 'silent crises'. These often unsung heroes understand all too well that poverty, disease and famine are just as deadly and destructive as earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis.

• Look round this universe. What an immense profusion of beings, animated and organized, sensible and active! You admire this prodigious variety and fecundity. But inspect a little more narrowly these living existences, the only beings worth regarding. How hostile and destructive to each other! How insufficient all of them for their own happiness! How contemptible or odious to the spectator! The whole presents nothing but the idea of a blind Nature, inpregnated by a great vivifying principle, and pouring forth from her lap, without discernment or parental care, her maimed and abortive children.

• Existe la falsedad de que algunos nacen con una atracción hacia su propia especie, sin que puedan hacer nada al respecto. Simplemente son "así" y sólo pueden ceder a esos deseos. Es una mentira maliciosa y destructiva. Aunque para algunos sea una idea convincente, es del diablo. Nadie está encerrado en ese tipo de vida. Desde nuestra vida premoral fuimos dirigidos a un cuerpo físico. No hay desajuste de cuerpos y espíritus. Los niños deben convertirse en hombres-masculinos, hombres varoniles-últimamente para convertirse en esposos y padres. Nadie está predestinado a un uso pervertido de estas facultades.
