Re: Random thoughts

I'm sure we all get struck by bouts of envy as long as it doesn't follow with something malicious, just wait and see what happens.

Re: Random thoughts

We should never compare ourselves with others - we tend to find fault in ourselves, and compare negatively. Self-acceptance is the key ;)

[QUOTE=floridaorange;815607]so what exactly makes you think they are jealous kat?[/QUOTE] well just the way she talks to me and giving me negative comments about stuff thats not even related to my case + i feel like shes competing with me, not wanting to accept my help and actually avoiding me when her plans fail, i mean she should know that a true friend is the last person to judge her :what

Re: Random thoughts

^sounds like someone whose not being a friend to themselves (similar to what Micko mentioned).

I think friendships between women in general can be complicated, starting in their mid to late 20's...men are just much more easy going, from what I've observed in my life.

That might also be the age where it becomes less and less "appropriate" by societal terms for women to have lots of guy friends...

...on a whole though, women are superior at relationship building then men.

#1308158Post 2051 of 86702009-12-16

Re: Random thoughts

well women in general are much more complicated then men anyway, or know how to complicate even the simplest things :lol: i think having guy friends keeps women in balance :p

You accused her of being jealous and questioned whether she was a good friend, and on an international forum.

[QUOTE=DIDI;815899]But you did judge her. You accused her of being jealous and questioned whether she was a good friend, and on an international forum.[/QUOTE] well i think theres a big difference between thinking outloud on an international forum where no one knows her and talking about her with someone who does. also i didnt judge her, i judged our friendship, cause her jealousy involves me. also thinking outloud on an international forum got me some good feedback and help me see the situation from a different point of view withouth having my friend exposed in a real situation

Re: Random thoughts

Well you went the wrong way about It :lol: And that would only work if her best friend was here as well. Well actually no, that wouldn't work either !! :)

And Accusing women of suffering from pms is never going to diffuse anything !! I would have thought that every man would have worked that out by now!! :lol:

Re: Random thoughts

The sense of humor is part, an essential part, of the wholeness of man. It keeps him healthy, it keeps him young, it keeps him fresh. And for centuries the sad people have dominated religion. They have expelled laughter -- from the churches, from the mosques, from the temples. The day laughter enters back into the holy places they will be really holy, because they will be whole. Laughter is the only quality that distinguishes man from other animals. Only man can see the ridiculous, the absurd.

Only he has the capacity and the consciousness to be aware of the cosmic joke that existence is. It is a cosmic joke; it is not a serious affair. Seriousness is a disease, but seriousness has been praised, respected, honored. It was absolutely essential to be serious to be a saint; hence only pathological people became interested in religion, people who were incapable of laughter. And people who are incapable of laughter are subhuman, they are not human yet -- what to say about their being divine? That is impossible -- they have not yet become human.

And to be human is the bridge between the animal and the divine. Hence I have tremendous respect for the sense of humor, for laughter. Laughter is far more sacred than prayer, because prayer can be done by any stupid person; it does not require much intelligence. Laughter requires intelligence, it requires presence of mind, a quickness of seeing into things. A joke cannot be explained: either you understand it or you miss it. If it is explained it loses the whole point; hence no joke can be explained.

Either immediately you get it.... If you don't get it immediately then you can try to find out the meaning of it; you will find out the meaning, but the joke will not be there. It was in the immediacy. Humor needs presence, utter presence. It is not a question of analysis, it is a question of insight.

And if you can laugh totally there are a few more things to be understood. In deep laughter the ego disappears, it is not found at all. You can't have both laughter and the ego. If the ego is there it will keep you serious. All egoists are serious people, and all serious people are egoists. To be able to laugh, you need to be like a child -- egoless. And when you laugh, suddenly laughter is there, you are not. You come back when the laughter is gone. When the laughter is disappearing far away, when it is subsiding, you come back, the ego comes back.

But in the very moment of laughter you have a glimpse of egolessness. There are only two activities in which you can feel egolessness easily. One is laughter, another is dancing. Dancing is a physiological method, a bodily method to feel egolessness. When the dancer is lost in his dance he is no more -- there is only dance. Laughter is a little more subtle than dance, it is a little more inner, but it has also the same fragrance.
