Love and cruelty on our lives

Love gives meaning to our lives – as do friendship, or art or faith in God. These are factors of true happiness, of inner peace, of feelings of harmony, allowing meaning to our existence.

But there is the other side. There is the cruelty of life, the pain, the evil, not to talk of death. They are the hidden tigers, ambushed and ready to attack the imprudent, to use an image present in the Buddhist Scriptures.

Is between these pendulums - the positive, the one that gives happiness and meaning, and the negative - that our lives are lived. And when we meditate about all that, we arrive at a diverse and disagreeing set of thoughts about the meaning and purpose of life.

Taken from a website.. hmm quite interesting..anyway.. i love philosophy quotes.. they are logical in one way.. i dont believe in people but.. i believe in what i see... dont get me wrong.. sometime, people have the tendency to give out wrong information due to certain factors.. blurness/lies/forgetful but try to remember.. best is to find it out yourself =)

here's some example of philosophy quotes..

1)Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it. ~Andre Gide

2)Sometimes it's necessary to go a long distance out of the way in order to come back a short distance correctly. ~Edward Albee

3)Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought. ~Henri Louis Bergson

4)To learn something new, take the path that you took yesterday. ~John Burroughs

5)Each forward step we take we leave some phantom of ourselves behind. ~John Lancaster Spalding

i always follow this quotes.. especially the fourth one.. <3 this quotes..and last quotes.. this is for you ... if you know who you are =)..

"You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly." - Sam Keen

that's what makes us unique.. imperfection.. but the sad part that is.. everyone strife for perfection... oh the irony...
