thoughts on piece and then an ad for it's OPPOSITE - american nationalism... great.

[MurrowSon]

@antigen4 Nice grammar and spelling, plus what ad for the opposite? Don't confuse what googletube runs with what I publish...and go to school, you have no right to be judging anyone w/o more education.

[antigen4]

@MurrowSon haha - sorry must have been smoking too much crack that day (re: 'piece'- funny)... I prolly have 3x the education you do... well we all make mistakes, son...

[MurrowSon]

@antigen4

You "prolly" are REALLY smoking too much something!  With spelling like that, you have 1/4 of my education and 1/10 of my knowledge and experience, at best, and that's on my worst day.

Also, I'm not your son, and probably older than you are, anyway.

[MurrowSon]

@antigen4 I'm not approving anymore of your claptrap. Don't confuse FACT with your delusions.

BTW, now you're banished. Good luck with that, einstein.

Most westerners introduction to "the way" have come from the kung fu tv series , it was so well done that it can be used as a teaching tool for understanding the Dao and ying and yang. No matter what your reason for wanting to know, once you come to understand, you become a peaceful person by nature and you have a understanding that all life on earth is the same, there is no room for hate or racism or cruelty to animals. If you are ready for that... learn about the Dao.

[MurrowSon]

Understand as in accept "the way", then yes.

[Finkelgruber]

Nice clip, but what's with the flag waving at the end?

[MurrowSon]

I'm an American.

[Finkelgruber]

@MurrowSon That's fine. And America is really a great country, but somehow, and I may be totally wrong, that ending looks like a flag waving red-neck put it there.

[MurrowSon]

You're wrong. Just a proud production of an American citizen.

[Finkelgruber]

@MurrowSon OK, I am sure you are, but consider how it may look to global

You Tube viewers of non-Americans.

Often, truth can be misinterpreted byhow it is presented or how it appears to 'outsiders'.

[MurrowSon]

Watch Basic Communication (101). The listener/receiver

is responsiblefor their interpretation of a message,

not the sender. EX: No one but you in 2+ years has

interpreted this small vid the way YOU have, your own

filters and interferences are the issue, not mine. I simply

posted a video with a toy flag waving at the end playing

the Star-Spangled Banner.

FYI, I agree that after the scum Bush and the devil

DICK Cheney, America's rep has suffered greatly,

but that's not all of us.

[Finkelgruber]

@MurrowSon Hi, I totally agree, we all interpret and see the world through our filtered and biased glasses. Mine is that I do not like displays of nationalism because of guys like Bush, or worse Hitler, who are hyping up natiolalism and cause suffering everywhere.

Obviously not all Americans like Bush, or agreed with his atrocious policies.

I said so when I said America is a great country, and it can not be great - unless great Americans made it so.

So, Live long and Prosper. :-)

[MurrowSon]

The listener/receiver can choose to feel any way they like,

that's part of how scum like Bush and Hitler (who both

said they believed God had led them to their spots), are

able to convince themselves they're OK, when they're so

clearly not. Don't forget that we can fool ourselves as

easily as anything else, sometimes easier.

Cheers.

[Finkelgruber]

@MurrowSon What you say is all true. We are all responsible how we perceive the world and interpret what is true or not. That is of course difficult when we all look through the various shades of our own biased light or dark glasses.

As we soon approach a population of 7 billion, one could say there are 7 billion different worlds. So to see or find the elusive truth is indeed a "challenge".

[MurrowSon]

Yes, there are differing "worlds of view" from every single person,

it's why none of us can see the same things exactly the same

way, except perhaps for ID twins or such.

However, the truth never changes, as Master Po states, "Men so

often mask themselves, that what is simple is rarely understood."

[Finkelgruber]

@MurrowSon  Indeed, we all wear different masks at one time or another, depending to whom we speak to at the time. Sometimes as not to hurt anyone,

but, I assume mostly to present ourselves in a good light.

[zipper179]

@Finkelgruber I could live with that, try as I may..

[zachf777]

@Finkelgruber Hopefully you're able to present yourself in a good light without using a mask.

[MurrowSon]

The point is to present oneself as one is, the "good light" is only as perceived by others.

Cheers.

[MurrowSon]

Every episode of this show is like a fortune-cookie-- first there's some crunching and breaking, then some words of wisdom, and finally some MORE crunching!

[MurrowSon]

Ha ha ha, cute.

[inbredagogo]

be yourself thus never to be naked to the eyes of others...yet know that men so often mask themselves, that what is simple is rarely understood...A dust of truth swirls and seeks its own cracks of entry...and a tree falling in the forest without ears to hear makes no sound yet it falls....

[MurrowSon]

I didn't include the tree part because I've never agreed with that philosophy. Sound does not require a listener to operate, though philosphically speaking (or quantumm physics-wise) it has many insights for those who have wisdom.

[inbredagogo]

There are many references or flashbacks to the Tao from this television series, this one is among my favorites.

[kungfu2u2]

It's a metaphorical principle of NOT asking what something has to do with the price of tea in China, when you're not buying any.

[MurrowSon]

"Yet, know that men so often mask themselves, that what is simple is rarely understood."

Great tribute to David Carradine RIP 1936-2009.

PEASE AND LOVE TO DAVID'S SPIRIT

[MurrowSon]

Thank you, Kung Fu and Qwai Chang were great influences in my life, and these two quotes cover some of the best of it all for me.

I've meant to put up more, but I've been delayed by family health issues. I'll defintely work to get more up now.
