vacation time till year end, nothing else to do so decided to read something "where the heart is".. i like this quote about bible and church

mikesmith(老猫)

"Do you read the Bible, Ruth Ann?"
"well, not much"
"Thats good. I think thats good. Folks read too much of it, they get confused. Read a little and you're just a little confused. read a lot and you're a lot confused."
..
"you go regular to church?"
"not regular"
"well, thats good. i think thats good. Sunday school....bible study...prayer meetings.. now thats just too much church. Ain't nobody so full a sin they need that much church"

i am such a sucker... this is only the 2nd day doing nothing and am too bored.. need some drugs. -mikesmith(老猫); 2008-12-17 (#4927836@0)

go get a life then -vetra(豆泡松果之多泡泡); 2008-12-17 (#4927929@0)

It would be nice if you attached a piece of incidental music。。。 -noproblem(密西洒家。o O); 2008-12-17 (#4927404@0)
another quote from the same book - about death. we are all dying right now, right this minute, right this second. -mikesmith(老猫); 2008-12-17 {390} (#4927468@0)
"But you`re not gonna live forever. You`re gonna die. We`re all gonna die. Me. Her. You. You`re dying right now. Right this minute. Right this second. See there? That second passed. It`s gone. Not gonna come again. And while I`m talking to you, every second I`m talking, a second is passing. Gone. Count them up. Count them down. They`re gone. Each one bringing you closer to your death."

多看此类书不益，人生不用搞得太明白 -vetra(豆泡松果之多泡泡); 2008-12-17 (#4927532@0)

有的人天生就是要不停思考这类问题，他们才能感觉到自己的存在。有的人偶尔想一下，有些人从来不用想这种问题。同意你说的，偶尔看看无妨，看过就算好了，不必思考太多。 -buma(四眼鲁道夫); 2008-12-17 (#4927546@0)

have seen too much power struggle and work-holics in the past few years. it makes a simple sould wonder. -mikesmith(老猫); 2008-12-17 (#4927750@0)

live by ur heart like a bloody thirsty beast. there is a trick that may or may not work for you. -buma(四眼鲁道夫); 2008-12-17 {309} (#4927842@0)
find a swimming pool, dip your head in the water and hold the breath for 1 minute and half and at the same time, look up while you are still under the water, try watch the outside world from a different angle until you can feel your heart is still pumping , then get out the water and go on with your life. :)

Tub is enough -vetra(豆泡松果之多泡泡); 2008-12-17 (#4928093@0)

swimming pool has 24 hours lifeguard, so .. it is safer to do it there. in case incident occurs. -buma(四眼鲁道夫); 2008-12-17 (#4928106@0)

thanks for this semi-suicide trick!! I will find a place and try. -mikesmith(老猫); 2008-12-17 (#4928551@0)

就知道你们会这么想，危险是有的，不过很小。相信大家可以掌握尺度 -buma(四眼鲁道夫); 2008-12-17 (#4928606@0)

This is one thing I don't quite like the book "Tuesday with Morrie". This guys was always saying "I am dying." That's negative. If I were him, I won't say that so often. Everyone knows that, why keep on saying that? What's the purpose? -fordmustanggt(换还是改？); 2008-12-17 (#4927611@0)

that may be the sole purpose of that book - about someone who is dying and looking back to the things he values most. not a surprise to me. I dont think Morrie was feeling pity about himself. -mikesmith(老猫); 2008-12-17 (#4927733@0)
It will remind people the purpose of the life, but I get your point, it doesn't sound good for saying that too often. -voice(ColorsOftheWind); 2008-12-17 (#4927786@0)

Due to that, I still haven't finished that small book. I put the book down when I see that "I am dying." Comparing to a lot other books, that one is not well written, partly because of that. -fordmustanggt(换还是改？); 2008-12-17 (#4928399@0)

书看少了就蠢，看多了就迂，中庸之道之难之艰难。。。 -aaromaa(每天学习到一点); 2008-12-17 (#4927616@0)

i read close to zero non-technical non-fiction book in the past 5 years. I know where I am now in the spectrum. LOL -mikesmith(老猫); 2008-12-17 (#4927742@0)

当你认知你自己现在存在的位置，其实已经时过境迁。。。 -aaromaa(每天学习到一点); 2008-12-17 (#4928072@0)

在动态中寻求方向 -vetra(豆泡松果之多泡泡); 2008-12-17 (#4928084@0)

恩，你我都认知动态寻找，但是我们不知觉地感受寻找的已经也许不存在，感知存在的却不一定被寻找。感受未必存在，存在未必被感知。。。 -aaromaa(每天学习到一点); 2008-12-17 (#4928210@0)

享受过程就显尤为重要，就好像上错了BUS，如果不能及时下车换线，但也不妨先看看风景 -vetra(豆泡松果之多泡泡); 2008-12-17 (#4928243@0)

such a 哲人，just came back from seeing the day the earth stood still. not a great movie, still a good one for me - I like this type of movies and Reeves. -mikesmith(老猫); 2008-12-17 (#4928567@0)

Blue-ray or HD-DVD or even download one? -vetra(豆泡松果之多泡泡); 2008-12-17 (#4928611@0)

i went to silver city - for actors i like, i usually go and support their movies LOL I may support them too much - i have 20 movie gift certificates - so what's the heck. -mikesmith(老猫); 2008-12-17 (#4928623@0)

Good quote, a few more? -voice(ColorsOftheWind); 2008-12-17 (#4927771@0)

sure thing. will pause now and go see a movie - the day the earth stood still. I've seen the critics. But I just want to see the acting. -mikesmith(老猫); 2008-12-17 (#4927823@0)
