You Don't Know Anything?

Silence and speech are not complete opposites.

Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law - Cite This Source Main Entry: si·lence
Function: noun
1 : the state of keeping or being silent; especially : forbearance from speech or comment

because whatever you are talking about is bullshit. You cannot be alive and have no thoughts, this is death.

nope. wrong. meditation, my man. try it out some time, you may be surprised in how useless, even counteractive, thought can be.

You can also never not be taking any action, this is also death.

yes and no. as long as ur still breathing ur still doing something i guess. but everything u ever do carries no true significance. everything has already been done. not like it happened last week, more like what you are doing right now is a pure product of what has happened in the past. ironically, the less actions u consciously "do", the closer u are to living a productive life.

Just noticed your sig'. Did you write that? I'm assuming you have as you haven't added the quoted person's name.

If it is yours, then I'll just say this. You are going to be a great man some day.

Sorry this is to you preoqpy...

Perfectly serious. That's an excellent quote, the kind of quote you can go back to and mull over all over again. That's what good quotes are made of.

Your 1st statement the definition of silence. Silence encompasses more than the state of no speech, your definition states esp. without speech etc. I also wrote that speech and silence are not complete opposites.

Meditation is the art of conning yourself into believing you have no thoughts. To completely have no thoughts, you must be dead.

You appear to drift off on the action part. Talking about something else? For a living thing to be termed inactive it must be dead.

i agree that complete silence and speech are not opposites. i posted one definition of silence, the definition that describes what krime was talking about.

i see what ur saying and i think the rest of our disagreements are because of terminology issues as well. but honestly, i dont know much about taoism, i probly should have kept my two cents to myself. im gonna get some shut eye, cool to meet u mr nice.

Did you know that we know more about space than we do our own oceans?

 

[skunkushybrid]

Did you know that we know more about space than we do our own oceans?

In what respect?

As in total information gathered? Or, as in how much we actually know?

Where did this stat come from?

 

[Erniedytn]

Hell if I know, Thats what National Geographic says.

 

[fdd2blk]

i heard the same thing.

 

[skunkushybrid]

Maybe because space is full of mostly nothing.

 

[Haxman]

It is impossible for man to learn what he thinks he already knows.
The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.

Maybe you're right
