The Guru on...
...Love:
Love is not about being happy, in the conventional sense; it’s about a fundamental feeling of wholeness, which trumps any transient pleasure. [more]
...Happiness:
We are happy when we have individual freedom and know we are doing good for the community. We are free to put in the effort to improve our lot, but need never deal with the guilt of abandoning others in need. [more]
...Global Warming:
As the world’s highest greenhouse emitter per capita Australia has a moral obligation to do its bit. Otherwise it cannot hold its head high on the world stage. [more]
...Enlightenment:
Enlightenment requires tolerance, free thought and self-determination (unlike religions). [more]
...Parenting:
That positive energy from you when your kid is broadly meeting expectations will be interpreted as what it is — the actions of a loving parent. If their inner brat starts to ruin things then it’s time for consequences and lack of attention from you... [more]
...Fidelity:
The more partners you have, the more difficulty you have committing to one. You like the body of one, the personality of another, the finances of another, the sex with another, and so on. And if you happen to find all those things in a single partner, after a while, when the novelty has worn off, and with only diluted love to glue things together, the enticement of new pastures wins out, buoyed by memories of past liaisons. [more]
...Mateship:
For many of the most passionate advocates of the importance of mateship, it’s about extending friendship towards a person they could picture as a mate; someone they see as like them. And that’s where it all falls down. [more]
...Regret:
It is said there are only two pains in the world: pain of discipline and pain of regret. What, sadly, many people discover too late is that the pain of regret hurts far more. [more]
...Evangelical Hypocrisy:
“And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil?...” MALACHI 1:8
That last passage relates to ‘the LORD of hosts’ being dissatisfied if the animals sacrificed to Him are not healthy. It is unclear whether [Joyce] Meyer participates in animal sacrifice rituals herself. If she doesn’t, that would seem to make her a blatant hypocrite. [more]
...ANZAC Day:
...a total of 527,000 casualties (not including wounded) on both sides. Can it possibly be right to disregard 98% of those? [more]
...Trial by Media:
You know what really grinds my gears? (What’s that? You love my Peter Griffin impression? Why, thank you!) The travesty of justice that was John & Ashley’s trial by media... [more]
...Having a Fling (Bar):
There is an awkward silence, as Prince C is silently devastated and left forlorn. Crestfallen, and realising he’ll get only voicemail if he calls, the Prince manages to say “And I'd better — I'd better get going.” The nonchalant reply comes immediately. “Bye.” [more]
