"There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics."
Religion hinges upon faith, politics hinges upon who can tell the most convincing lies or maybe just shout the loudest, but science hinges upon whether its conclusions resemble what actually happens."
"Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof."
"The being we call god is merely a pawn working for a powerful and rational force in some far-off galaxy. This force is trying to weed out people who are irrational by seeing who would be stupid enough to believe in his god illusion so easily. Those that believe in this illusion, he will send to eternal damnation and he will deliver the rational beings, those who stoically refused to believe in a god, to heaven.
"Ideas are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you will reach your destiny."
"If you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea."
“Problems have nothing to do with situations, but with one’s reaction to them.
“What’s happening is merely what’s happening. How you feel about it is another matter.
A lot of times we face problems and our immediate reaction is to have the situation responsible for it. It just satisfies our ego to have a situation/person wrong and prove itself right. Situation is there but how we interpret it and make stories make all the difference.

Some flowers grow best in the Sun while others do well in Shade.
Remember, we are put where we grow the best and accordingly we get people and situations to grow with”
A lot of times we get this question :”Why I am this situation when others are in a better one”.The quote above explains a lot. We all have different lessons to learn to grow. A dishonest man need to learn what is honesty while a greedy man needs to learn how to be generous.
Sometimes I think the whole nature is so perfect. There is a perfect rhythm and balance in all the things in nature. Only a prefect one can design such a perfect system and how can that perfect one put us in a wrong situation. At times things seem bad but when you look back you know there was a good reason why ?????????????????????

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.
“One is evil, which is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”
“The other is good, which is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
—————–
It happens with all of us. We all have both a good side and a bad side. Sometimes we are so angry that we keep on feeding our anger more with our thoughts and hence making the angry wolf win whereas at other times our kindness and love take over and the good wolf wins. If we are a little more conscious of our thoughts/actions then we can always make sure that our good wolf(good side) always wins.
“Always remember that ALL(no exceptions) OF US HAVE A GOOD WOLF INSIDE US. Just remember to feed it. ”............
