[Marinius]

My character imprisons me...
To climb a cliff I must; to admire the beauty of suffering.
Some words remain unspoken. Words that disturb, truth disturbs; even if it has a passionate fever... maybe this passion itself distrubs the mind - and leaves me in grief. I searched and found, however my search is not over... I must go beyond.
Each step I take I question, I question so that I won`t be overcomed by emotions later on.

Nature... what tremendous pain we cause to You; bearable to us, unbearable to...

"Wisdom
1. Right view
2. Right intention

Ethics
3. Right speech
4. Right action
5. Right livehood

Mental Discipline
6. Right effort
7. Right mindfulness
8. Right concentration"

These are the laws my material existence is based on.

Plotinus thought there is a supreme, transcendent One, containing no division, multiplicity or distinction. One can only be identified with God/The Supreme Good and Beauty.

One of many things I have assimilated and I have become or follow (but I still evolve, each day).

1. Brahmacharya
2. Ahimsa (non-violence)
3. Ashram ("peace and tranquility amidst nature")
4. Confucianism (one is not born a noble hearted man or woman, one becomes one)
5. Three Treasures (Taoism)
6. Carpe Diem, nevertheless it is important how you seize the day.

Only those who discover themselves can truly be human, because this is the first step in discovering others.

The external nature is changeable.
The internal nature is eternal.

Each praxis must be a process in the development of a person.

I am virtuous only if I am between excess and deficency.

Death is not feared by me, feared is only the death before living.

Need, not Desire.
