Guest guest Posted May 11, 2001 Report Share Posted May 11, 2001 hi crow and Florie i see your points and i do treat them seriously :-) playing with words is easy,,,, you bring the stuffy word i bring the " looser " word which comes from being " losers " . sorry,,. when i look at " loose " people they seem losers, not motivated enoug. winning to me means " well-being " staying in perfect health. feeling joy and inner peace ... and that does not contradict being able to laugh on nonsense. humor is not the opposite of being a serious person.,,, if you are not " serious " about these goals - how can you achieve them? you'll never try hard enough to learn, to be aware,,, to act. i quite agree with Florie that compromise is the challenge here, to be able to distinguish when to be serious and when to be " light " . practicing moderation is the most difficult thing to do, for me at least. (if someone here knows some techniques and tools to help with attainig balance - i'de love to learn i.e " how to be fanatic in being moderate?)

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 Just a couple of thoughts on your comments: How do you define " loose " persons and how did you come to the conclusion that they're losers? How would one determine the correct level of motivation? Are you really only winning when things are going exactly the way you think they should? Work through these questions a bit and you may find some of the answers you seek. For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure that fanaticism is the opposite of inner peace.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 Like Jumbo shrimp or military intelligence, I'm pretty sure it's an oxymoron. > " pine " <pine > > >Re: seriousness does not contradict humor! >Tue, 15 May 2001 22:30:07 +0300 > > >I'm pretty sure that fanaticism is the opposite >of inner peace. > >hi ray: > > >what about fanatism in moderation? > > > > >**************************************** >Visit the community page: >For administrative problems -owner >To , - > >All messages, files and archives of this forum are copyright of the > group and the individual authors. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
