Just truth

 And so, a bit about truth.


It's hard to find truth without context.  I suppose it does exist, but

it would be a good deal harder to find.  Another thing that makes

it difficult to find is the issue of honesty.  It's pretty hard to find

" truths " , without some kind of honesty.


And as you may know, honesty is not particularly easy.  We all

need to work at that a little.  


I think I may have mentioned that sometimes, truth hurts.

World Peace

  Okay, why not? From a mostly economic point of view, it seems pretty clear to me that world peace would be a boon to maximizing benefit for transactions. So, that seems like a " good " thing. Beyond that of course you have  " whirled peas ", and so. Some people don't like peas .... Why not?

Zen and fighting

Well, this has to do with: Bodhidharma    who many believe lived in the area of the Shaolin monaster y . as you see in the above link of the life of Bodhidharma. So, we find an interesting correlation between the concept of " fighting ", and what is considered by many to be "spirituality".   Well, tomorrow is a a big day for Baha'i's throughout the world. the celebration of the ascension , 100 anniversary,   Abdul' Baha   .   Interesting connection, hard to spell both names. Anyway, to me, Zen translates to practice and not necessarily " achievement ", which to my mind is more like a goal, and goals change based on achievements.  Goals are a whole 'nother thing. So back to fighting and Zen, I think it's not hard to  put this together.  Back to Bodhidharma and Abdul'-Baha, one difference is you can spell check Bodhidharma.  Also there is a major confluence of these ideas, fighting, struggle, practice, service, and teac...

Is life fair?

 So this is a hard one, and one that you could go on, and on about. I am going to address it from simply three angles. Certainly many will argue that life is NOT fair, mainly because good things happen to bad people and vice versa.  So that is an argument that might suggest, that well, maybe not so fair. However, from the standpoint of biology you might get a different perspective.  In biology the Tree of Life, is a big deal, and I would argue even a bigger deal for biologist, than the Big Bang, for physics.  So the question would come down to are trees fair? Using the metaphor of Tolkien, the trees played a big role in the battle for middle earth, and therefore could definitely be described as the good guys from that narrative.  Beyond that there could be other arguments, that lots of people like trees, and get particular enjoyment from them. Along that same line in math you have graphs and you have also tree graphs, but generally graphs are a good thing and qu...
