Steve Marshall @Shiva49 The ones who are still around still have a chance to play their own part in the world, without it being snuffed out too early. Sometimes, it is not worth trying to look for perfection, in a seemingly imperfect world. We are better off just trying...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Every so often a light shines into the darkness, though, such as a Buddha, or a Jesus Christ, but as that has not happened for many a dark moon now, the shoring up of the good, by such a light, has been/become ineffective, because of the darkness...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, and when we grope around in the darkness, we need to be careful of what we might find. We might get bitten by the odd snake, or two. We need to try to hold onto the torch of our soul, and not drop hold of it, to grope only with our mind. We are...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 All very true, if it is true that there is a life thereafter, but, without any definite proof, sometimes it does feel that we are still chasing after invisible butterflies, with our limited types of net, which includes our mind, and body here. If we...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, our five senses are limited, and we should realise this, as even animals have greater, and better senses, so there must be a lot that our five senses do not pick up, but our sixth sense does, if we develop it more to do so, and we even might have...

A Zen student went to his master one day, and asked him, "How do you remain peaceful, all of the time?" The master replied: "I say, 'no' to a life of questioning, and 'yes' to a life of answers from God." "Life...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, somehow love must be moved back into the forefront of our mind, and be alive in every thought of ours, generating only positively good thoughts for us too.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, they have been all but pushed away, and buried, by the policies, and behaviours, of the bad. There is becoming less and less chance for them to be able to rise up again.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, the foreboding of heading towards disaster, gives us all negative feelings at times, as we all feel a doomsday approaching. We need to do the best we can with what the world presents to us, and keep the hope that a few good people, doing the...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Thanks, siva, well said. Playing it safe with love, will ensure we end up with a winning score at the end, and not a defeat, but even if only a defeat waits us all at life's end, a life of love is still a life better lived, than any alternative life...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 I have heard it said that death has no sting, as there is life after death, because life never ends, but continues to go on always, in some form, or another. Our soul is always involved in living, and never in dying.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, when we are feeling unhappy, and unfulfilled, we often wallow in our misery, and splash it over others, like a pig in mud does too.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, we need to not be a donkey, but more a horse, and so, even when we are led to the poisoned waters, we do not then drink of it too. We need to keep awake to fools, parading gold in front of our eyes, that always just turns out to be fool's gold,...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, keeping our conscience, and consciousness, pure, and clean, clears them of the effects of past karma, which then can no longer reach up, and out, to bite us.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 And yet, we must become aware of what is hiding deep under our own shadow self too. We need to work on, and with, this karmic load, to try to remove it enough for it not to influence us from behind the scenes, as we strive to live from the light...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 There has never been a good pollie, and there will never be a good one into the future either. The system cannot create a good one, and good ones, if they try to be one, at the start of their politicking, are then destroyed by the system too.
