Please DON'T correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it was the GREAT Indian Buddhist, Nagarjuna, who prompted, "We CAN 'know a thing' by its OPPOSITE" . Of all Buddhist Dogma I especially dis-like this . I don't WANT to Believe, but do I TRUST its "Truth" ? Put it this way, "I have Faith" that it is True, even though that Faith is NOT as Strong as, perhaps, it should be .
Zen Mistress Joni Mitchell confronts us : "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone" . "...tear down a park, put up a parking lot" --- We are People who ROUTINELY "Take things for granted", shit, isn't that >>>Human Nature<<< ? Of course it is, but are there adverse ramifications from such a 'common place' Attitude ? I argue YES !!!
This >It< gets Ugly : Is Peace merely "the absence of War" ? Wow . I don't like that --------------not one bit .
MUST we "know" Peace by experiencing WAR ? How much does THAT fucking suck ???????????
