Nah, neither. I got locked into a jetway by accident and then when I passed for the second time through the metal detector they decided my Leatherman multi-tool was illegally in my leather jacket pocket.
I was temporarily arrested for having a locking blade knife on my person while trying to board an aircraft.
In their words I could have "attempted to take over the aircraft with my weapon".
It didn't go down too well when I informed them that I wouldn't need a bloody knife as I was a kickboxer and had spent the previous weekend driving round Lincolnshire with an AK-47 in my car boot... No sense of humour some people, really.

The funny part is, because it was a multi-tool, the knife part was the bit I used least of all. I think I sharpened a pencil with it once or twice.

several times at several different things. My shrink friends say I self-actualized at 40.

If someone has reached all their big goals mentally/physically/emotionally/ spiritually/financially/romantically/socially/politically etc then what do they do?What's next?

nowdays success means how rich you are money wise, how nice your house is, how nice your car is, and how good your career is,


i think success is happyness and bieng there for your friends and family, and if providing a nice house and things for them coutns towards the happyness and support then that is a part of it,

A unity becomes conscious of its own temporality and the temporality around it.

Certain psychologically retarded kinds and weak dispositions then require a way to escape whatever slight awareness they possess.

peace.Emotions are biological mechanisms which facilitate conditioned responses and biological survival – sophisticated emotions clouds reason and critical thought as a way of enabling certain behaviors which are risky and costly to the organism.

Primordial, more basic emotions are a biological mechanism of facilitating a quicker response time to appearances and threats.

Happiness is impossible and only ephemeral.
What there are is different levels of need – suffering being an extreme case of need that has gone unsatisfied.

When need dwindles to a degree where it becomes tolerable or vanishes into the subconscious, and if it is not immediately replaced with another need, the state is referred to as bliss or contentment.

peace.The words of a romantic, naïve idealist.

Love is a survival mechanism which enables cooperation and the procreation of more complicated biological forms, requiring longer gestation periods and longer periods of, subsequent, weaning and care.

The prime human emotion is fear, of which love is a sophistication of.

Certain organisms are too weak to survive as solitary beings and so group into herds which necessitate cohabitation and cooperation.
This, in turn, necessitates a more docile tolerant and less aggressive organism.

Love is the chemical process by which individuality and primordial aggressive dispositions and intolerance are sublimated and suppressed.

happyness is not the lack of needs, happiness is a state of consciousness that your frame of mind is mostly set into, one can succumb to many negative emotions from instinctive levels while remaining as a whole happy.



basic emotion based responses can be reset and changed, i have changed many of my initial inset response mechanisms due to intense martial arts trainig methods, replacing illogical fear with rapid responses that are now more suited to my mind and body due to improvements, improvements that my body could not make alone without help from training and reprogramming,



happyness is not impossible, its just not possible to be completely inmoved by negative emotions 100% of the time, you cans till have a happy frame of mind, opposite to a pessimists frame of mind,


perspectives can change natural responses to situations.

that depends on what you define love as. fear no longer resides in my mind due to training, temporary emotions come and go as i watch and observe them, fight or flight is no longer a built in response to me i am sorry to state.


what you describe love as is not the only definition of the term, you are thinking about chemical and emotional love, not rational thought process,


i do not need anything to survive but food and water and this earth, i prove this to myself everytime i live in the wilderness by myself every year, i choose to show love to certain people because i care for them on different levels, i give people things to help them. i also know people are weak and need things so i supply them with it, i help people that i love,


love means many things, even if one of those things is telling somebody you love them because it will make them happy and bring a smile to the face, you over analyse things and have lost slight touches with what you call logic,

happyness is not the lack of needs, happiness is a state of consciousness that your frame of mind is mostly set into, one can succumb to many negative emotions from instinctive levels while remaining as a whole happy.Contentment is a subjective term which depends on the organism’s, the mind’s experience with certain levels of discomfort and need.
When the mind has been habituated to a larger level of discomfort, let us say, then any decrease of discomfort below the level of his comfort-zone will be experienced as pleasure or relief or contentment.

For instance a man growing up in an austere environment will be made “happy” with less, whereas one pampered and used to abundance will find any lack excruciating.

basic emotion based responses can be reset and changed, i have changed many of my initial inset response mechanisms due to intense martial arts trainig methods, replacing illogical fear with rapid responses that are now more suited to my mind and body due to improvements, improvements that my body could not make alone without help from training and reprogramming,Yes, the Will, human reason, is the only thing that can usurp and control natural tendencies.

Asceticism and athleticism are forms of rational habituation with suffering and the conscious control over the reactions towards them.
For example, athletics places the physical body into a state of artificial suffering, habituating the mind with that level of discomfort, making any level below it to be experienced as comfortable or pleasurable.
Asceticism, likewise, trains the mind to resist and to tolerate suffering.

you are quite good at not letting your emotions take control of the debate proccess, but you have a few things that need improving (as do i ofcourse), i think you would find it better if you expelled your inner frustration/hatred towards certain groups of people. it would benefit your thought proccess and make you even greater than you are already,

i do not need anything to survive but food and water and this earth, i prove this to myself everytime i live in the wilderness by myself every year, i choose to show love to certain people because i care for them on different levels, i give people things to help them. i also know people are weak and need things so i supply them with it, i help people that i love,And?
Just because you are not aware – awareness remember – of the underlying motives behind your “caring” of others, doesn’t mean that they are not there.
Just because you’ve convinced yourself that you only need some basic things – true or not – does not negate your need.

All living things need.
Need is simply the temporal flux made conscious.
Since life is a temporal manifestation, need is part of what it is and so suffering is part of its condition.

love means many things, even if one of those things is telling somebody you love them because it will make them happy and bring a smile to the face, you over analyse things and have lost slight touches with what you call logic,Yes, perhaps we can replace “logic” and reason with emotion…then we’ll use emotion to explain and understand emotion.

I would certainly say that. You're very much like most of the kids/young men in the USA today ....idealistic, lacking in real-life experience, wanting peace without taking into account that some people are evil mutha-fuckers, thinking that government is out to get us all, wanting the government to take care of all the people without them having to lift a finger, ......among many other such typical childish notions.

Never met a single idealistic american.

lacking in real-life experience,
Do you have kids? Do you have a job? Have you ever lived in a distant country?

wanting peace without taking into account that some people are evil mutha-fuckers,
So far I haven't met an america like that...

thinking that government is out to get us all,
The government is too big and inflexible. There's just too much incompetency too. Their decisions are often ridiculous or plain corrupt. Don't even get me started. Inefficientcy? Yes. Out to get us? What are you on?

wanting the government to take care of all the people without them having to lift a finger,
The job of the government is to improve the lifes of the population. Otehrwise, the government is just a useless piece of shit that makes life harder. I don't mind not being helped by them, myself, as long as they don't make my life worse.

......among many other such typical childish notions.

i agree with most of this, and no ofcourse you cannot replace logic with emotion,

i was saying there are different levels of love and to define them all in a single sentence cant be done, the chemical feeling you get that people sometimes describe as "falling in love" is not the same thing as the love that one might express for artwork, appreciation is a type of love, so is a thought and an action, they are not all the same thing,


would you say to your wife or kids that love doesent really exist, and it is just an emotional response to chemicals that you do not directly control?.

That's YOUR version of success, but I do agree self-actualization is a good measure of success.

Having said that, how the hell do you consider those people you mentioned self-actualized!? :rolleyes:

It's not about "awards, millions, or philantrophy" although many have that.
Most people want those things. Take a look at celebrities. People think celebrities are successful. Celebrities have all of the above. Therefore, celebrities must be successful by the standards of the normal* population.

Of course, to assume that success is defined by what most people think is to commit a fallacy of population. Take for instance Britney Spears. She has awards and millions, but is she "successfull"!?!?

I'm not telling you anything personal. You would just cr@p all over it anyway.
I'm not the one who does that. I have yet to see you say something intelligent. Aside from the self-actualized part. Although I'm not even sure if you know what "self-actualized" means....

Now I feel like I'm being interviewed...... :D

When I find truth (or when truth finds me, the way you put it), I feel.... no, I don't feel successful. I feel kinda sad, actually, because it is the journey that I enjoy the most.... It's like going in a journey in a distant country. I miss home, while I'm travelling. But once I come back home, part of me feel sad that I'm not out there travelling anymore. You know what I mean?

Having said that, I've never found the truth and I don't expect to ever find it until maybe when I die and go to heaven.

You have to be totally surrendered to Him before He can use you. Otherwise you're just a prideful, selfish, self-centered human. He wants more than love and peace. The great commission is to get everyone saved/witnessed to before His return. Surrender is not loser. Surrender is "nirvana". :yay:
