: Hi Joseph
:
: Worthy by our gut feeling regarding what
: behavior we think is worthy, and what is
: unworthy. We generally think, for example,
: that the Buddha is worthy/noble, and that a
: serial murderer is unworthy/ignoble.
:
: Zhuangzi says
:
:
:
: 以道觀之，物無貴賤；以物觀之，自貴而相賤
: Yi dao guan zhi, wu wu gui jian, yi wu guan
: zhi, zi gui er xiang jian.
:
: "From the dao's view no creature is
: worthy nor mean, from a creature's view it
: is worthy and others are mean."
:
: The daoguan here has an archetypal dynamic
: that is not too different from Luther's
: formulation, although it does not depend on
: an ultimate salvation.

: I like your answer.

: ... from the tao's view no creature is
: worthy nor mean, from a creature's view it
: is worthy and others are mean....

: Life's a b###h and then you die.

: Hi Butcho:
: Step # 1: Life's a b###h and then you die.
: Step # 2: If you are good at daoing, you
: enjoy life in spite of that.
:
: "Satisfied when failing, satisfied when
: succeeding" Zhuangzi
:
: There appears to be no rational explanation
: for this non-contingency phenomenon. I
: think of it as a placebo effect which, like
: gravity, is an integral part of the natural
: world.
:
: Just like gravity, you don't have to believe
: it. You just simply try it and find out
: that it works for you.

friends of the Tao and other Luciferians,
Well, in my opinion one does not know true satisfaction until one is satisfied with being
unsatisfied. I'll see your Eosphoros and raise you an Evening Star. Hesperus is Phosphorus. Whole means partial. Placebo means medicament. Happiness means unhappiness.
That's why I like beer. It makes me a jolly good fellow. I like beer. It helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow. Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene and I went to a place so sublime the water was clear and tasted like beer. I like beer. It makes me a jolly good fellow.
Besides, nothing beats a bliss piss for what ales you.
