I spotted this quotation in a newspaper last Sunday and found it to be very interesting, maybe you'd like to think about it.
" I've absolutely no idea if God exists. It seems unlikely to me, but then - does a trout know that I exist?"
Billy Connolly - ponders life's greatest mysteries.
To move on here is another quotation from my scrapbook :-
" Do not believe what you have heard. Do not believe in tradition because it is handed down many generations. Do not believe in anything that has been spoken of many times. Do not believe because the written statements come from some old sage. Do not believe in conjecture. Do not believe in authority or teachers or elders.
But after careful observation and analysis, when it agrees with reason and it will benefit one and all, then accept it and live by it.
Buddha (563BC- 483BC )
The Buddha says that when you know it to be true based on your own observation and experience - and it is beneficial to one and all then, and only then, live by it.
