Individual Life Quotes - Page 2

• Hay una gran libertad en la sencillez de vida y, cuando empecé a sentirla, encontré armonía en mi vida entre el bienestar interior y el exterior. Hay mucho que decir sobre esa armonía, no sólo para la vida individual, sino también para la vida de una sociedad. Y es que, como mundo, nos hemos alejado tanto de la armonía, tan lejos del lado material, que cuando descubrimos algo como la energía nuclear, ¡aún somos capaces de ponerla en una bomba y usarla para matar gente! Esto se debe a que nuestro bienestar interior va muy por detrás de nuestro bienestar exterior.

• La vida, tanto en su saber como en su hacer, se ha convertido hoy en una "caída libre", por así decirlo, hacia el minuto siguiente, hacia el futuro. De modo que, mientras que antes quienes no deseaban arriesgarse a la aventura de una vida individual podían descansar dentro de un orden social cómodamente garantizado, hoy todos los muros han estallado. Ya no nos corresponde a nosotros elegir la aventura de una vida sin precedentes: la aventura está sobre nosotros, como un maremoto.

• El hombre es un agente moral libre y puede ser magnánimo y tratar desinteresadamente, la humanidad es una meta definida, la justicia social es deseable y posible, las vidas individuales pueden ser gloriosamente diversificadas, singularmente individualizadas y, sin embargo, socialmente útiles; o bien, éstas son meras frases, trampas para cazar gaviotas, jarabe calmante para nuestras almas atribuladas.

• Like stories, people have individual lives, and are all caught up in this murky thing. All of them have the best intentions. In that sense, you could just as easily tell the same story from another character's perspective. Maybe that's a good idea for a TV series.

• Existe una estrecha relación entre el arte y la religión en el sentido de que ambos se ocupan de cuestiones de significado, si no del significado de la existencia en general, sí del significado de la vida individual y de cómo una persona se relaciona con su comunidad/entorno.

• With only one life to live we can't afford to live it only for itself. Somehow we must each for himself, find the way in which we can make our individual lives fit into the pattern of all the lives which surround it. We must establish our own relationships to the whole. And each must do it in his own way, using his own talents, relying on his own integrity and strength, climbing his own road to his own summit.

• We are living in a renaissance of personal writing. People are rebalancing the impersonalization endemic to modern society with an increase in personal introspection. We have enough common psychology under our belts to know that psychology doesn't explain or heal everything and that it isn't the fulfillment of awareness, but its beginning. We are undergoing a shift in paradigms in which we are trying to develop new models for humanness and human responsibility. This is no small task. Our individual lives are placed under increasing pressure to respond adequately to both inner and outer change.

• For the protection of the community, of individual life and health, there are some necessities that should be provided for all at the expense of all, such as roads, pure water, and sanitary systems for concentrated population, and reasonably comprehensive mail service. The determination between services that should be operated by the government and those which should be left to private enterprise under proper control should be governed by the degree of necessity to the community as a whole.

• People have to take seriously the threat coming from asteroids and what it represents. As Chelyabinsk reminded us, we have to take asteroids as a serious scientific concern, as well as a concern for protection of mankind and survival of the planet. This is not some kook policy. It's the protection of the interests of every single individual life on this planet.

• No individual life is an end in itself. One can live fully only by participating fully in the succession of the generations, in death as well as in life. Some would say (and I am one of them) that we can live fully only by making ourselves answerable to the claims of eternity as to those of time.

• The meaning of the living words that come out of the experiences of great hearts can never be exhausted by any one system of logical interpretation. They have to be endlessly explained by the commentaries of individual lives, and they gain an added mystery in each new revelation.
