Quote Left (1) Do not let your children make toys out of flies/butterflies or birds. Such behavior results in injury to living creatures, but also it arouses in young hearts an impulse to cruelty and murder. Stories illustrative of the commandments: (2) The wife of a soldier named Fan was tuberculous and close to death. She was ordered to eat the brains of 100 sparrows as a remedy. When she saw the birds in the cage, she sighed and said: 'Must it be that 100 living creatures are to be killed that I may be healed? I would rather die than permit them to suffer.' She opened the cage and allowed them to fly away. Afterwards she recovered from her illness. (3) Tsao-Pin lived in a ruined house. His children begged him to have it repaired. He answered: 'In the cold winter the cracks in the walls and the space between the tiles and between the stones provide a shelter and a refuge to all kinds of living creatures. We should not endanger their lives.' (4) Wu-Tang used to take his son hunting with him. One day they came upon a stag that was playing with its young one. Tang took an arrow and killed the young one. The frightened stag ran off with a cry of anguish. When Tang concealed himself the stag returned and licked the wounds of its fawn. Tang again drew his bow and killed it. He then saw another stag and sent an arrow towards it, but the arrow was deflected and pierced his son. Tang threw his bow away and tearfully embraced his dead son, when he heard a voice from the air: 'Tang, the stag loved its fawn as much as you loved your son.' (5) Meng-tse praises King Suan of Tsi because of his compassion in freeing an ox that was to be sacrificed at the dedication of some bells. Such a sentiment, he says, should suffice to make one king of the world. Monastic Taoism & Kan-Ying-P'ien. From the commandments for monks: (1st): Thou shalt kill no living thing nor do injury to its life. (2nd): Thou shalt not consume as food the flesh and blood of any living creature. (34th): Thou shall not strike or whip domestic animals. (35th): Thou shall not intentionally crush insects and ants with thy foot. (36th): Thou shalt not play with hooks and arrows for thine own amusement. (37th): Thou shalt not climb into trees to remove nests and to destroy the eggs. (63rd): Thou shalt not catch birds and quadrupeds with snares and nets. (64th): Thou shalt not frighten and scare away birds that are brooding on their nests. (68th): Thou shalt not dig up during the winter months animals hibernating in the earth. (112th): Thou shalt not pour hot water on the ground in order to exterminate insects and ants. Quote Right

Quote Left Dating is so important to a long lasting relationship. Get to know the other person really well, it's ok to date for a lengthy period. Consummating a relationship outside of marriage is still a covenant made, in God's eyes. Oxytocin is the bonding drug our bodies create. You are fighting physical and emotional connection when you don't respect the process. There is a lot of therapy gone through because God's program for relationships [or "ships" as the kids say] and marriages are not followed. Quote Right
Quote Left What seems odd from the outside usually seems inevitable from the inside. Quote Right
Quote Left Meaning is the outside brought in. Quote Right
Quote Left Why is the following analogy of wisdom important? Some will think inside the box. Some will think outside the box. Others will think inside the box, outside the box and as the box. Clearly, there is no box. WHY? You cannot contain knowledge in any vessel. If you do, it will stagnate and become useless. All the knowledge we know now can fit on a table. Outside this table is unknown knowledge of various forms, spiritual, emotional, mental, and so on. This knowledge is infinite. Quote Right
Quote Left "Silly how we seek for things outside of ourselves only to realize we must give that which we seek to ourselves first." Quote Right
Quote Left All substance, form, distance and time are God. We can only distance ourselves from God by lesser use of mind. An illusion of consciousness. But God is place and substance of creation. When He created the universe, he did not go outside of Himself for parts -- all dimensions, all potentials are God. Acceptance, realization brings us closer to truth (the conglomerate of God~ is Love). Avoidance brings us cause and effect...for every wrong direction, there is a corrective force -- ouch!" Quote Right
Quote Left "Go outside and play, there is a game in every day." Quote Right
Quote Left God created all from himself. Nothing exists outside of God. In fact, there is no outside. We can only separate ourselves consciously...but it is soul illusion, spiritual prestidigitation that only exists in the mind and heart, and not in truth-reality. Quote Right
Quote Left One may fool outsiders moreover one can't dupe one's inner self. Quote Right
Quote Left In the stillness of their night stroll, he found peace within the embrace of her, nature and the universe, yet a shiver ran through him as he realised the world outside, full of stars, also held those who sought to confine her light. Quote Right
Quote Left Truth needs no further elucidation outside its presence. Quote Right
Quote Left When life rains on you, you can either shiver in the cold or enjoy jumping up and down the muddy puddles outside. :-) Quote Right
Quote Left Some fool everybody, but first themselves. There is no greatness outside the expression of love -- like God so should behave His man. Quote Right
Quote Left Ugly pain is savage and beautiful. It's kind of like child birth. That's a war cry, in itself. Ugly pain can tear your whole world apart; without belief of something greater outside of the pain, weakness wins, but strength is belief in something, bigger, better...that always wins...and that is fierce. Quote Right
Quote Left Know they not that they are dead outside the Living Word?! Heartfelt poets pen with such profound inkling. Quote Right
Quote Left People say to think outside of the box to be imaginative, but my mind wasn’t small enough for a box in the first place. Or maybe the box was a circle, a cage… Quote Right
Quote Left "A zoo trip can put a zip in your walk and zeal for being outside with the animals." Quote Right
Quote Left Creatives I Admire (Part 1) - The writers and creatives I gravitate to, are those who have been driven to the depths of despair, experienced the greatest pain on many levels (physical and emotional), have survived to share with us their experiences, whether they are cast as outsiders or received as enfant terrible geniuses and welcomed by society with open arms (while many of those creatives such as those I speak of, shun those open arms). Quote Right

Quote Left Humanity is capable of such beautiful dreams and horrible nightmares, For Our World Has a lot For every Man's Dream but Not Every man's Greed, So you see this is life greatest rule, it gives to givers, and takes from takers, Karma God's judgement on earth. Those Full of themselves, on the outside are often starving on the inside Quote Right
Quote Left No matter how much pain is there within inside, There must be a fringe of happiness outside. Quote Right
Quote Left I live outside your gates, exposed to the rain, exposed to the sun; sometimes I’ll cradle my right ear in my right palm; then when I speak my voice sounds strange, alien ... ('Das Lied des Bettlers' or 'The Beggar’s Song' by Rainer Maria Rilke, loose translation by Michael R. Burch) Quote Right
Quote Left William Blake had no public, and yet he’s still read. His critics are dead. ('A Passing Observation about Thinking Outside the Box' on the role of poets in living beyond death, by Michael R. Burch) Quote Right
Quote Left Some people think inside the box. Some people think outside the box. Still others think inside the box, outside the box and as the box at one time. Clearly then there is no box. Quote Right
Quote Left What you think and feel means nothing in a courtroom, but everything outside of it. Quote Right
Quote Left If you find inner peace in this world, tell me how, I know it is an impossibility outside Christ Quote Right
Quote Left The biggest difference I have found between being a writer, poet... someone that uses "words", to draw...and that of a publisher and/or editor... is that one group is busy painting outside the lines. The other is trying to figure out how to fit the creation, into them.  Quote Right
Quote Left Do not let the outside world determine who you are; You decide that from within. Paul Lake Quote Right
Quote Left Trust is always a leap in faith in something outside ourselves. Paul Quote Right
