Perhaps the most significant thing a person can know about himself is to understand his own system of values. almost every thing we do is a reflection of our own personal value system. what do we mean by values? our values are what we want out of life. no one is born with a set of values. except for our basic physiological needs such as air, water, and food, most of our values are acquired after birth.

More From Jacque Fresco

The whole life of christ was a continual passion; others die martyrs but christ was born a martyr. he found a golgotha even in bethlehem, where he was born; for to his tenderness then the straws were almost as sharp as the thorns after, and the manger as uneasy at first as his cross at last. his birth and his death were but one continual act, and his christmas day and his good friday are but the evening and morning of one and the same day. and as even his birth is his death, so every action and passage that manifests christ to us is his birth, for epiphany is manifestation.

[i]t's an honor to be a food stamp president. food stamps feed the hungry. food stamps save the children. food stamps help the farmer. food stamps help the truck driver. food stamps help the warehouse. food stamps help the store. food stamps hire people and feed people. food stamps save people from starvation and malnutrition. ... give president barack obama a big hand. show your love. show your appreciation.

Modern man has transformed himself into a commodity; he experiences his life energy as an investment with which he should make the highest profit, considering his position and the situation on the personality market. he is alienated from himself, from his fellow men and from nature. his main aim is profitable exchange of his skills, knowledge, and of himself, his "personality package" with others who are equally intent on a fair and profitable exchange. life has no goal except the one to move, no principle except the one of fair exchange, no satisfaction except the one to consume.p97.

Degrees of ability vary, but the basic principle remains the same: the degree of a man's independence, initiative and personal love for his work determines his talent as a worker and his worth as a man. independence is the only gauge of human virtue and value. what a man is and makes of himself; not what he has or hasn't done for others. there is no substitute for personal dignity. there is no standard of personal dignity except independence.

But in a way you can say that after leaving the sea, after all those millions of years of living inside of the sea, we took the ocean with us. when a woman makes a baby, she gives it water, inside her body, to grow in. that water inside her body is almost exactly the same as the water of the sea. it is salty, by just the same amount. she makes a little ocean, in her body. and not only this. our blood and our sweating, they are both salty, almost exactly like the water from the sea is salty. we carry oceans inside of us, in our blood and our sweat. and we are crying the oceans, in our tears.

Basic would never have surfaced because there was always a language better than basic for that purpose. that language was joss, which predated basic and was beautiful. but basic happened to be on a ge timesharing system that was done by dartmouth, and when ge decided to franchise that, it started spreading basic around just because it was there, not because it had any intrinsic merits whatsoever.

That which reminds us of nature and thus stimulates a feeling for the infinite abundance of life is beautiful. nature is organic,and therefore the highest beauty is forever vegetative; and the same is true for morality and love.

There are many ways to calm a negative energy without suppressing or fighting it. you recognize it, you smile to it, and you invite something nicer to come up and replace it; you read some inspiring words, you listen to a piece of beautiful music, you go somewhere in nature, or you do some walking meditation.

I somehow always have this idea that as soon as i can get through this work that's piled up ahead of me, i'll really write a beautiful thing. but i never do. i always have the idea that someday, somehow, i'll be living a beautiful life.
Beautiful Writing Ideas
Without beauty a girl is unhappy because she has missed her chance to be loved. people do not jeer at her, they are not cruel to her, but it is as if she were invisible, no eyes follow her as she walks. people feel uncomfortable when they are with her. they find it easier to ignore her. a girl who is exceptionally beautiful, on the other hand, who has something which too far surpasses the customary seductive freshness of adolescence, appears somehow unreal. great beauty seems invariably to portend some tragic fate.
