A Good Heart

I don’t know what to think of my heart, but after ten years of living the good life, I am closer to perfecting it.

What is good-truth or knowledge?

Plato would tell you good is more beautiful than either of these.

Perhaps, good is to know justice and beauty.

The form good takes from its highest thought of a just thing or created object is of practical advantageous use.

Absolute good is good none the less. But to have a good appetite is not as good as a good heart and mind. And by this good, all is virtuous.

To understand good is not the same as learning to be good. An intellectual pursuit will only produce an intellectual end.

To define good from everything else, the real good. Will not lead one to being good. For it is through conscious agency that good evolves in humanity.

To make a good world, many good people must make it so.

If happiness is good, surely we must all pursue it. For if there is good, there must be evil or a bad way to live.

There Is A Hole In My Soul (and all of humanity)

Another day….

My rules are simple:  practice the proper use of impressions:

Don’t act on desire,

Attempt to act on aversion,

And do no harm.

Beauty is truth, truth beauty, and that is all.

Do my best, each moment, each day….

It is a struggle to balance life when practicing these principles in all my affairs.

There is so much I have no control over.

At the core of my belief system is a big issue for me (and all of humanity).

I have a hole in my soul.

But I must not act on its impulsive nature.

I must let (the impulse) go.
