With the blessing of His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of America I would like to cordially invite you to attend a Christmas concert entitled, Glory in the Highest, featuring the Archdiocesan Byzantine and Youth Choirs at Carnegie Hall on December 16, 2012, beginning at 6PM. The concert will be for the benefit the ancient church of the Holy Archangels in the Holy Metropolis of Proussa.
The church of the Holy Archangels, or as it is known in Greek, Taxiarches, was built in the 8th century. This is an important church because it is among the oldest ones still standing in this eparchy. During the exchange of populations at the turn of the 20th century and in accordance with the Treaty of Lausanne, this church was confiscated by the Turkish government. Now, almost 100 years later, our beloved Ecumenical Patriarchate is in a position to purchase this ancient church back and reopen its doors for all of her faithful. By supporting this concert you will help in this sacred effort.
The concert program will feature a selection of ecclesiastical hymns from the Christmas period performed by the Archdiocesan Byzantine Choir. The Archdiocesan Youth Choir will perform a number of songs and Greek traditional Kalanda to usher in the Christmas season. This is the second time the Archdiocesan choirs are sharing a stage at Carnegie Hall and just as the first time, it will surely be a night to remember. We wholeheartedly invite you to join us for an unforgettable evening of glorious Christmas music for a most noble cause.
Wishing you every blessing during this Christmas season and the protection of the Holy Archangels upon you and your loved ones, I remain
With deepest respect,
Archdeacon Panteleimon Papadopoulos
Director, Archdiocesan School of Byzantine MusicCategories: Concert -

The theme of this year's winter retreat is: "KEEPING IT REAL"
This year we are trying something new. Location of the winter youth retreat, as most of you already know, is going to be at the Serbian Monastery in New Carlisle Indiana – an hour and a half drive from Chicago. We have arranged a bus to pick up and return all those from the Chicago area, as well as those arriving to Chicago. Please also know, there may be a change of location if the number of participants is overwhelming. For now, take a look at the pictures from the Monastery mentioned. It will be a place you will never forget. We will have more details after December 1.
Those who are high school Graduates may participate but as helpers – call Fr. Dragan immediately if you're interested 317-374-3414. Please know, we can only accept so many of the youth, as well as the helpers – please respond as soon as possible to somewhat guarantee your place in this retreat. First come first serve. Thanks for your understanding. The registration fee this year will be $98 a person – since we are adding a day to the retreat. The retreat will be similar to last year – we are adding a few new things and praying for snow.

Theme: "Why Become (or Remain) Orthodox? How Do We Stand Up for & Live the Faith?"
This December, we will host our Eighth Annual Winter Service Retreat for Older Teens and Young Adults. Each year, we schedule this during the week after Nativity, when students are out of school for their winter break in studies. Our parish of St. George Orthodox Church (OCA) is located right on the Texas border with Mexico. In year's past, the week included a visit and work project in an orphanage for girls just across the border in Mexico. However, because of increased border violence in recent years, we no longer cross into Mexico. Thanks be to God, this year, we will have a Brand New Church Hall to help accommodate both our Retreat Participants and our Service Projects!
Who: Geared for Older Teens, College Students & Young Adults plus Adult Chaperones & Orthodox Clergy. Orthodox Christians, Catechumins, Inquirers and their Friends from All Jurisdictions are WELCOME

The Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States under the auspice of His Grace Bishop Youssef presents: The "Three Holy Youth" (THY) Winter College Convention series!
The pursuit of this fellowship is to enflame in the hearts of our college youth the roots of our rich Coptic faith, history and dogma. Teaching the fundamentals of our Orthodox Christian faith through a theological mini-series enables us to be "…always ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you…" (1 Peter 3:15).
Three Holy Youth is proud to present: "Orthodox DNA". "For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one." (1 John 5:7)
Guest Speaker: Father Peter Saad, St. Peter and St. Paul Coptic Orthodox Church Montreal, Canada
More information can be found at www.facebook.com/threeholyyouth
College years can be a period of strong spiritual growth. Our beloved Church recognizes the strong pillars for our faith in our youth serving as bright shining stars to a world yearning for the hope that is presented in Christianity.
But our shining light is only as strong as our spiritual foundation and this can only start by increasing first in knowledge and virtue as St. Peter says "…But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 1:5-8)

Sixers' Brown hobbled after lackluster performance
A day after his coach chided certain players — without naming any — for a lack of conditioning this preseason, Kwame Brown stands to miss out on some on-court calisthenics.
The veteran center sustained a left calf strain during the 76ers' practice Sunday morning at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and is considered doubtful for tonight's preseason game against Boston at Wells Fargo Center.
Sixers coach Doug Collins said Saturday, following a loss to Brooklyn at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall, that he wasn't pleased with the conditioning of a few players. Brown should be considered among them.
The 12th-year big man, who's in his first season with the Sixers, checks in well beyond his listed weight of 270. And his inability to get up and down the floor showed against the Nets, with Brown unable to finish consistently in the paint. Brown totaled six points and six rebounds in 20 minutes, but was beat by Brooklyn post players to a number of lob passes heading his way.
Another stat sticking in Collins' craw is the regularity with which the Sixers are taking on fellow Atlantic Division teams. Five of their seven exhibitions are against the teams the Sixers will see most frequently in the regular season.
"I know proximity has a lot to do with it, but I wish we wouldn't play those teams in our division as much," Collins said the other day.

IEEE 802.1x allows dynamic, port-based security, providing user authentication. IEEE 802.1x with VLAN assignment allows a dynamic VLAN assignment for a specific user regardless of where the user is connected. IEEE 802.1x with voice VLAN permits an IP phone to access the voice VLAN irrespective of the authorized or unauthorized state of the port. IEEE 802.1x and port security are provided to authenticate the port and manage network access for all MAC addresses, including that of the client. IEEE 802.1x with an ACL assignment allows for specific identity-based security policies regardless of where the user is connected. IEEE 802.1x with guest VLAN allows guests without 802.1x clients to have limited network access on the guest VLAN. CISCO security VLAN ACLs on all VLANs prevent unauthorized data flows from being bridged within VLANs. CISCO standard and extended IP security router ACLs define security policies on routed interfaces for control-plane and data-plane traffic. Port-based ACLs for Layer 2 interfaces allow security policies to be applied on individual switch ports. Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol, Kerberos, and Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) provide network security by encrypting administrator traffic during Telnet and SNMP sessions. SSH Protocol, Kerberos, and the cryptographic version of SNMPv3 require a special cryptographic software image because of U.S. export restrictions. Private VLAN Edge provides security and isolation between switch ports, which helps ensure that users cannot snoop on other users' traffic. Dynamic ARP Inspection helps ensure user integrity by preventing malicious users from exploiting the insecure nature of the ARP protocol. DHCP Snooping prevents malicious users from spoofing a DHCP server and sending out bogus addresses. This feature is used by other primary security features to prevent a number of other attacks such as ARP poisoning. |

Potteries-born Dean Allmark will take on Rampage Brown in a major title contested by two bitterly determined wrestlers at Stoke's Victoria Hall on Saturday March 16.
The event has been billed as the ultimate decider for Britain's most prestigious wrestling championship.
Both men have enjoyed reigns as All Star Superslam number one with the title and glittering belt more closely associated in recent times with The Victoria Hall than any other venue around the country. It was here Brown, trained in his native Yorkshire by former top wrestler and referee Jeff Kaye, caused a major upset in 2009 seeing off seven other rivals including former champions in a Victoria Hall tournament that decided a new number one after injury forced 'Liverpool Lad' Robbie Brookside to relinquish the belt.
Fast forward to 2010 and Brown arrived at The Victoria Hall on a cold October evening with two major titles to his name but, barely four hours later, left with none after Potteries fans saw three championship changes in quick succession. Firstly, in a double challenge, Brown's UEWA European heavyweight belt and the world heavy middleweight crown of another Stoke star, Mikey Whiplash, were on the line and it was Whiplash who gained a disputed win.
Later, Whiplash lost the UEWA belt to James Mason while Brown's Superslam crown, was on the line against 'Xtreme' Dean and looked in command against Allmark until walking into an out of the blue super kick that floored him for the full count. Brown didn't waste time feeling sorry for himself setting off to campaign in the United States for WWE in the opening months of 2011 before returning to re-establish himself as champion.
That's how it has stayed with Brown delivering ever more powerful displays as Superslam belt holder while Allmark, now based on the Wirral, has become his most persistent challenger. Dean also continues as head coach for the All Star Training School, helped on the administrative side by wife Letitia, daughter of All Star managing director Brian Dixon and former 'Queen of the Ring' Mitzi Mueller.
But it was in the Stoke area that Dean received his wrestling grounding from tough teachers Keith Myatt and Chris Curtis at the aptly named 'Camp of Pain' before making his professional debut at Longton. Following a breakthrough with All Star Wrestling, Europe's longest-established promotion now into a 43 year, Dean enjoyed success on the solo front and also as one half of a title winning 'Dream Team' tag combination partnering fellow Stoke campaigner Kid Cool.

Comment on Fairy Tail Fans Outraged at Naked Submission to Censorship by Rene:
There's no implication. It's not family-friendly and never will be. I stated simply that adults read it, children watch and otaku get disappointed.
The fact that you're looking at it as an implication means you've got something screwed in that head of yours.
Rene made other comments on this post:
- Fairy Tail Fans Outraged at Naked Submission to Censorship:
It's a taste of circular logic. Disagree > See the need (understand) > Disagree > See the need (understand) > Disagree Repeat adnausium.
- Fairy Tail Fans Outraged at Naked Submission to Censorship:
Don't get pissy with me over something a network decides. I don't support censorship but I understand the circumstances that drive it.
- Fairy Tail Fans Outraged at Naked Submission to Censorship:
What were people expecting? Adults read it, children watch it. And Otaku get disappointed.

Ashe County will be trying to snap a two-game losing skid this Friday night with the Elkin Bucking Elks coming to town.
This Friday will also mark Parents' Night for all varsity cheerleaders and football players. Football pictures will take place at 6:30 p.m. followed by cheerleading pictures at 7 p.m.
Player and cheerleader introductions will follow the pictures at 7:10 p.m. with everything wrapping up before kickoff at 7:30 p.m.
Last week, Ashe lost to North Surry and struggled to stop leading rusher Blaze Acord.
Things do not get any easier this week with dual-threat quarterback Josh Strickland leading Elkin into this week's conference matchup.
The Elks are coming off of a 42-20 thrashing of East Wilkes in the annual "Clash of the County Line."
Strickland tossed three touchdown passes and ran for another one on the ground to propel Elkin to its second win of the early season.
For Ashe, this game will mark the first Mountain Valley Conference game of the season. Elkin currently sits at 1-0 in the MVAC.
On the ground, Elkin will feature a strong group of runners in the backfield behind Strickland. Jamiles Hayes and Kody King will see plenty of touches on the ground. Both runners found the end zone in last week's battle against the Cardinals. Seth Creed will also play a part in the ground attack.
Through the air, Strickland will look for tight end Sam Lane and wide receiver Chris Hudspeth. Both athletes caught TD passes last week. Lane, the leading scorer on the basketball team, did not start playing football at Elkin until last season. The senior provides a tall target for Strickland as he is listed at six-feet, four inches tall.
Since joining the MVAC in 2009, Ashe and Elkin have faced each other three times. Elkin took the first game by a final score of 19-14. That game went down as one of the most heartbreaking losses in a long time for Ashe. After trailing most of the game, Ashe pulled ahead in the fourth quarter after a touchdown run from Jeren Holman gave the squad a 14-13 lead. However, Elkin capped off an 89-yard drive with a one-yard TD run from Ethan Creed with only 10 seconds left in the game to get the win.
In 2010, Elkin shutdown the Huskies for most of the night, winning the game 28-7. Ethan Kramm ran for three touchdowns in the contest while the Elkin defense forced four Ashe County turnovers.
Last year, however, Ashe traveled to Elkin and came out on the winning end, 28-6. The Huskies ran for 160 yards yards while playing without its top two running backs, and saw its defense completely silence the Elkin rushing and passing attack.
Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. from ACHS. The game can be heard live on 580 WKSK or streaming on their website at www.580wksk.com

Lady Gaga and Kendrick Lamar have struck up a friendship which might lead to a future musical collaboration. Gaga first revealed that she was a fan of the Compton rapper a couple of weeks ago on Twitter. She told one of her followers that she liked his lyrics and thanked Kendrick for calling her while she was overseas.
The interesting dialogue continued on Sunday, July 15th.
"@kendricklamar #womenweedandweather listening to The Recipe. Can your new album come out now so i can go out to clubs and dance again," Gaga tweeted to Kendrick yesterday. "@kendricklamar sitdown DRANK stand up DRANK. are you teaching a lyric writing program in compton? 'Swimming Pool' is so cool," she continued in support of his new single.
She even retweeted one of Kendrick's tweets about his hair.
Also on Sunday at the 2012 Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, where Kendrick was performing the two were spotted together. Gaga stood by the side of the stage and watched Kendrick's set.
The Source caught up with the Southern California MC to ask about his relationship with the singer.
"That's a real good friend... a real good friend," Kendrick explained.
When asked about a possible collaboration between the two Kendrick said he was hopeful.
"God willing .... for now I just like the friendship thing," he said.
Kendrick's new album good kid, m.A.A.d city will be released on October 2nd. Would you like to hear a collaboration between K Dot and Gaga on it?

Concert review: The Who does 'Quadrophenia' proud in Tulsa
The Who reigned over Tulsa with full-scale "Quadrophenia" performance
While classic acts ranging from Steely Dan to the Pixies have taken to the road with complete performances of classic albums, The Who's Thursday night concert for a packed crowd at the BOK Center in Tulsa was a lesson in strength, endurance and expert musicianship as the band faithfully and powerfully brought to life its classic 1973 double album, "Quadrophenia."
The Who's rock opera about a Mod losing his grip on sanity after a historic gang war in the early 1960s was guitarist Pete Townshend's most ambitious set of songs, an attempt to make sense of his 1960s youth as he closed in on his 30s. Marking the album's 40th anniversary with a full-scale rendering of the double album, Townshend and lead singer Roger Daltrey, the surviving members of the original lineup, spiked the album's dense narrative with historical footage that explained where they came from and then pushed forward, seemingly referencing every major upheaval of their lifetimes.
The story of Jimmy the Mod's mental breakdown still came through clearly in songs such as "The Real Me," "5:15" and "Cut My Hair," but the visuals, which spanned from World War II to the Occupy Wall Street movement, told of a more far-reaching disillusionment -- the fall of the British Empire and loss of innocence in the modern era. The story of "Quadrophenia" is difficult to fully convey in a concert setting where fans are looking for more hits and less introspection, but Townshend, Daltrey and their backing band pummeled through, vividly conveying the sweep of the original double album.
But the real story is Daltrey and Townshend's extraordinary stamina: they took no breaks during the "Quadrophenia" performance, playing it out with the tenacity of a record needle spiraling through four nonstop sides of music. Daltrey is a kind of vocal wonder at 68. He hit all the wrenching last notes of the album's final song, "Love, Reign O'er Me," and still had plenty of power in reserve for The Who's six-song encore.
While regular drummer Zak Starkey was out of commission with a pulled tendon, Daltrey's solo touring drummer, Scott Devours, capably covered the manic percussion fills created by the late Keith Moon. Townshend's brother, Simon Townshend, covered many of the lead guitar parts and lent a superb vocal to "The Dirty Jobs," and Pino Palladino continued his expert rendering of the late John Entwistle's intricate basslines. Technological assists allowed The Who to slyly pay tribute to their deceased compatriots. Entwistle appeared on the video screens and, thanks to archival footage and state-of-the-art computer sequencing, contributed an amazing bass solo to "5:15," and the band played along to Moon's maniacal vocals on "Bell Boy."

That sounds along the lines of "may the fleas of 10,000 camels infest your _____ "
I think that applies to spammers.
Now, it was bad enough, when they infected the NNTP world, but now with the forums, I am tiring mightily of their antics in the HTTP world. When they interfered with my downloading of porn, that was one thing. NOW, they are ruining my Adobe forum experience. Is there no class amongst spammers? Is there no "spammer's credo?" I mean, get real here.
I remember Black Thursday, when AOL offered unlimited Internet access, and the world changed forever. Most of us had gotten by nicely with CompuServe, and our Wang start terminals, and the ARPANET (later NNTP) was fine with our 900 baud modems. We all knew of AOL, but never looked into it, as it was "for the unwashed." Then, in the blink of an eye, the world changed.
Yeah, death by 10,000,000 fleas (think that each camel hosts about 1,000 fleas?) , and in a private area!
I'm certain he knew that and probably took delight in it! By speaking it, he affirms oness with all humanity.
At any rate, the opposite side of the coin:
"We are going to die and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they're never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. In the face of this stupefying odds it is you and I in our ordinariness that are here.
Here's another respect in which we are lucky: the universe is older than a hundred million centuries. Within a comparable time, the sun will swell to a red giant and engulf the earth. Every century of hundreds of millions has been in its time, or will be when its time comes, the present century. The present moves from the past to the future like a tiny spotlight inching its way along a gigantic ruler of time. Everything behind the spotlight is in darkness, the darkness of the dead past. Everything ahead of the spotlight is in the darkness of the unknown future. The odds of your century being the one in the spotlight, are the same as the odds that a penny tossed down at random will land on a particular ant crawling somewhere on the road from New York to San Francisco.
You are lucky to be alive and so am I. We are lucky to be alive and therefore we should value life. Life is precious, we're never going to get another one, this is it, don't waste it, open your eyes, open your ears, treasure the experiences that you have and don't waste your time fussing about a non existent future life after you're dead. Try to do as much good as you can now to others; try to live life as richly as possible during the time that you have left available to you."
-Richard Dawkins.
Richard Dawkins? Really?
Michael, you are right. Lao Tzu violates the law of non-contradiction in his statement. Opposites cannot both be true, and so his statement invalidates his statement. However, there is another conclusion to be drawn here. Since he spoke it, he testifies that he does not know.
Regarding Dawkins, he is the unlucky one. He posits an utterly dismal and hopeless existence, one without any prospect for life after death, and advocates that we should rejoice in it. Now exactly how does that work? He who dies without faith never rejoices on his death bed.
Paul R Stark wrote:
He who dies without faith never rejoices on his death bed.
Your agreement with Dawkins' thought is nicely summed up in that one last sentence... We cannot even begin to imagine what lies beyond our own lives, and so we try to put things in the perspective of the life we do know of.
I may not believe what you do, yet I can easily envision rejoicing on my death bed if for no other reason than for the anticipation of relief of the toil of this miserable biological existence.
So if you are without pain or trouble (or even if not), carpe diem! Seize the day!
Your agreement with Dawkins' thought is nicely summed up in that one last sentence.
I do not agree with any of Dawkins' thoughts.
We cannot even begin to imagine what lies beyond our own lives, and so we try to put things in the perspective of the life we do know of.
The use of the pronoun "we" is not appropriate. I'm sure what you meant to say was, "I cannot even begin to imagine. . . ." Many do not share that view. Hence, you speak only for yourself in this regard.
I can easily envision rejoicing on my death bed if for no other reason than for the anticipation of relief of the toil of this miserable biological existence.
I am truly saddened, Noel, that you see your life as miserable--truly. I wish for relief from this for you, something I know (experientially, not merely intellectually) is possible before death.
Thank you for your comments.
Your friend,
Seeing how's there's no fool like and old fool, let me jump right in!
I cannot agree with either point of view, Paul's or Noel's. That's perfectly fine that you both possess your perspective on the subject, but let me add mine.
"Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness", considered on of the best statements in the English language by some. The part about happiness is wrong. There is nothing to pursue, because you already have it. It's already part of who you are. What that statement really should be saying is the avoidance of interference with my happiness. But that, along with the original form, the pursuit of happiness, is still incorrect. Because it gives over the power you have to another, entity, another event. "I won't be happy unless I get....."
Now think about that carefully. Does that really make sense?
The fact of the matter is that it is entirely within the human being to be happy no matter the circumstances. It's up yo you, not the outside world. Not anyone else. The trick is to recognize one is intrinsically happy, but one allows circumstances to hold sway with respect to attitude about circumstances.
The largest part of that is the misconceptions about true happiness. It isn't thrill, it isn't excitement, it isn't comfort. It takes time to find the seed inside oneself but here is a clue.
Have you ever observed a situation where several people are experiencing the same negative event, and that the responses vary widely? (Go to any political event to see that in action!) Same event, some are angry, some are blue, some are unaffected. So where's the trigger? It obviously isn't the event. It's the response. You can let it overpower your happiness or not. You can take steps to right the wrong, even express anger over the event, and still connect to your happiness.If you do both, stay connected and take action, the action then becomes impersonal, as it has nothing to do with your own state of being.
But then, all this is easier said than done!
Let me end this with a slight shift in perspective from Lao Tzu, attributed to Abraham Lincoln:
"It's better to remain silent and appear the fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"....which I just did!
Thanks, excellent. I love this stuff. I'll try to "remove Re: Favorite Quotes doubt" for myself later, if I get the chance.
Great discussion!
Hmmmm... this talk of violating laws of non-contradiction makes me think of
a <sigh, this forum software..... words fail me....> quote of Anne Landers:
"No generalization is worth a damn - including this one."
I quite like a quote someone attributed to Bhudda:
"Everything in moderation - including abstinence and excess."
Paul R Stark wrote:
I do not agree with any of Dawkins' thoughts.
I gathered that, yet your comment put things in perspective of a living being. It just illustrates the difficulty.
And I'm not unhappy. I may be miserable, as most creatures are, but that doesn't stop happiness. My wife, on the other hand, has some pretty good tricks up her sleeves...
Anyone who does not cringe at the pain and suffering of life may be ignoring reality and avoiding empathy. To put it in the real terms of an example, a mother duck around our back yard lake had over a dozen ducklings. By the second or third day of their little lives only a few were left. Then a few days later none were left. Anyone could see she was devastated; I swear she was crying. It's hard to be happy in a world where young, innocent beings suffer and die horribly all around us. Yet it it is the way of things, and - as it turns out - it is necessary for long-term survival.
The odds of your century being the one in the spotlight, are the same as the odds that a penny tossed down at random will land on a particular ant crawling somewhere on the road from New York to San Francisco.
no. the odds of perciving you live in a spotlight simply because you ARE living in a spotlight are near 100%!
the odds of you living at any other time are pratically nil.
I'm thankful for being alive in the current spotlight, where we are comfortable, barely have to worry about survival, have antibiotics that still work, and haven't yet polluted the planet to where it's deadly. I'd hate to be here in a few hundred years, or a few hundred years ago.
"Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.
Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave."
from 'A Psalm of Life' by Lognfellow
And, incidentally;
"That which does not kill us, will probably try harder next time." -- Somebody
Anyone who does not cringe at the pain and suffering of life may be ignoring reality and avoiding empathy. To put it in the real terms of an example, a mother duck around our back yard lake had over a dozen ducklings. By the second or third day of their little lives only a few were left. Then a few days later none were left. Anyone could see she was devastated; I swear she was crying. It's hard to be happy in a world where young, innocent beings suffer and die horribly all around us. Yet it it is the way of things.
Well put.
To use a much less sad example, I am constantly weeding out optimistic little elm and maple seedlings from my yard. Each of them (I anthropomorphize!) would love to become a tree, yet of the millions of tiny little lives that spring up every year, most perish. How sad that there cannot be room for each of them.
but one allows circumstances to hold sway with respect to attitude about circumstances.
This is a true statement. But let's recognize that in discussing happiness or optimism or being miserable, we are discussing emotions (feelings). Many do not realize that emotions are uncontrollable. They are determined by one's thoughts and beliefs. And as it turns out, you can control your thoughts and beliefs.
It's the Think-->Feel-->Act Progression. What you think (or believe) determines how you feel. How you feel determines what you do. That's how two people can react differently to the same experience. As Lawrence correctly observes, it's a matter of attitude or perspective.
That said, the notion that all experiences can be met with happiness is utopian, for it denies the existence of sadness, frustration, hopelessness, anxiety, depression, etc. and concludes they are unnecessary emotions. Death of a loved one is not a happy experience. Those who endured the Holocaust did not and could not experience happiness, nor should they have. Sadness is appropriate for certain situations (even for dead ducks, apparently) as much as gladness is for others. If my wife were to be murdered before my eyes, the statment "it is entirely within the human being to be happy no matter the circumstances" is clearly wrong. What would be entirely within me would be unspeakable horror and grief, and that would be appropriate.
Were there no negative expereiences in life, there would also be no experiences of relief, salvation, rescue, safety, acceptance, security, significance, etc. Many of the blessings in life are contingent upon relief from pain and suffering, both of which are real and appropriate.
It is now clear to me why this forum has no "Correct Answer" option.
First of all, feelings and emotions are not the same...we feel things, like premonitions, that are not emotions. We might get emotional over the premonition, but that's different.
Second, it isn't utopian concerning happiness. It's an inborn state, one that, like love, can be overrun by other factors, but,like love, is consistently present. All one needs to do is remove the block.
I guess what I am saying is that neither happiness or love exist in duality mode. They are like rivers, you can dam the river, but once the dam is removed, the rush of either can sometimes be overwhelming. And, of course, emotions play their part.
The lack of this sort of recognition in Western thought is a huge Achilles heel in western living. We search for happiness rather than research the block. Hey! Good for business! Unhappy? Go shopping!
So, what's the problem? Why doesn't it work? Why do we always have to go shopping or some such manipulative effort? Why doesn't the "happiness" (which isn't really happiness, it's excitement, thrills) last. One reason I included in parentheses. But the big one is expectations.
In matters of love, for instance, expectations run rampant. You meet someone. She is dressed and made up to be attractive. It worked. Now what? OMG! she thinks. I gotta look good for him! I can't let him see me like this! and so on. You, the man, run similar thoughts. I have to live up to certain expectations generated by____(fill in the blanks). What a mess!
What to do? If I may suggest, begin by organizing things into two categories; Needs and Wants. Food, shelter, water etc are needs. All the rest are wants. Now, reclassify the Wants into Preferences. Bingo!
I need a new car gets to be I prefer anew car. I need to go shopping changes to I prefer to go shopping. And so on.
It really, really works. Every time I get into a tizzy over some event or another, the resolution lies in making that determination. I am pissed and agitated because I perceive an event as a need.
The license plate holder that illustrates this profoundly is the one that says "I'd rather be ....). No, not really. If true you would rather be fishing, you would be fishing. But to say I prefer to be fishing, well, now I can be at peace with going to work instead, and fishing will happen. The glow of happiness is freed up once more.
So, don't pursue happiness. You already have it. Rather, examine your blocks and drop them, stating with expectations.
So how does preferences clear up the love mess mentioned above? Simply by seeing that while having a person in one's life may rise to the level of a need (Maybe!) it doesn't have to be that particular one. A bit callous, maybe, but reasonable. And if both people can go there, the connection may well be strengthened rather than defeated. The real person shows up fully. For better or for worse, as the vows proclaim.
But then, what do I know?
Were there no negative experiences in life, there would also be no experiences of relief, salvation, rescue, safety, acceptance, security, significance, etc. Many of the blessings in life are contingent upon relief from pain and suffering, both of which are real and appropriate.
Or, as Beavis & Butthead apparently put it "If things didn't suck, then things couldn't be cool!"
(I've never watched, but a friend quoted.)
Blessings are the expectation element, writ large by kicking the blessings and rewards into the afterlife, which is neither provable or falsifieable by human methods.
That is such a non-starter for me.
Restating "If things didn't suck, then things couldn't be cool!":
Q: Why are you beating your head against the wall?
A: Because it feels so good when I stop!
He who knows does not speak. He who speaks does not know.
- Lao Tzu
You don't say!
- Anon
Lao Tzu's statement has a zen-like quality. You can only speak in the present, but knowledge has it's roots in the past and projects into the future. As you speak, the spoken words fade into the past,and the unspoken ones are in the future.
Words name things. The mind is capable of experiencing fully without naming anything. But then we cannot communicate those experiences verbally without words. Since words lead to definitions, and we define by both inclusion and exclusion, (this and not that) can speaking ever communicate the entirety of an experience?
We are back to Lao Tzu.
