(I-tuan), see Does Zen believe in a soul? - However, the Buddha taught that there are no such things as a permanent Self or Soul which can be reincarnated or reborn after death (Rahula, 1974: page 3). The Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh believes there is no reincarnation in Buddhism (Miller, 2012).

Learning and the Future...

10.03.1999 – Interpretation of dali48 

Learning has a bitter root - but it bears sweet fruit ... (Bohemian proverb)

Are you believing in the future - then you have built on sand ... (B. Johnson)

Übersicht mit KI 

The phrase "If you are believing in the future - then you have built on sand" is not a well-known quote by Lyndon B. Johnson. It appears to be a paraphrase or a misattribution. There are no records of Johnson saying this exact phrase. However, there are quotes from Johnson that relate to his vision for the future, particularly his "Great Society" program, which focused on social reforms and improving the lives of Americans. Here's why the quote doesn't fit Johnson's known views: Focus on Progress: Johnson's "Great Society" vision was optimistic and aimed to build a better future through social programs and reforms. He believed in the potential for progress and positive change. Emphasis on Action: Johnson was a doer, and his policies reflected a belief in the power of government to shape a better future. He wouldn't likely say that believing in the future is like building on sand, as that would imply inaction and a lack of faith in progress. Context of the Cold War: While Johnson did grapple with national security concerns during the Cold War, his focus on domestic issues like the "Great Society" and the space race indicates a belief in the possibility of positive change and a better future, according to the White House Historical Association. It's possible the quote is a misattribution or a paraphrase of something Johnson said about the difficulty of certain endeavors or the challenges of the future. However, the sentiment expressed in the quote does not align with Johnson's known public statements and his vision for the future.

Tears - that's the lowest common denominator of... - More than any other expression of feeling, we are touched by the weeping of our loved ones! - It makes... - often without knowing it, why - to sharing partners of this moment... (H. Pleaser)

Übersicht mit KI 

The statement "More than any other expression of feeling, we are touched by the weeping of our loved ones" highlights the profound emotional impact of witnessing a loved one's tears. This suggests that the act of crying, especially by someone close to us, evokes a strong empathetic response, triggering a sense of shared pain and vulnerability. It implies that tears, as a non-verbal form of communication, can convey a depth of emotion that words often fail to capture. Here's why this is a powerful statement: Empathy and Shared Emotion: Tears are often seen as a sign of vulnerability and pain. When someone we love cries, it activates our empathetic circuits, making us feel their pain and suffering as our own. This shared emotional experience can be incredibly powerful and moving. Non-Verbal Communication: Tears are a powerful form of non-verbal communication. They can convey a wide range of emotions, from sadness and grief to joy and even frustration. In the context of loved ones, their tears can speak volumes, often communicating a level of emotion that words might not be able to express. Vulnerability and Trust: Witnessing a loved one's tears can also be a sign of deep trust and intimacy. It suggests that they feel comfortable enough to express their vulnerability to you, which can strengthen the bond between individuals. Impact on Relationships: The emotional connection forged through shared tears can be a powerful force in relationships. It can deepen understanding, foster compassion, and create a stronger sense of closeness. Cultural Significance: While the statement emphasizes the impact of witnessing a loved one's tears, it's also worth noting that tears have different cultural interpretations and significance. In some cultures, crying might be seen as a sign of weakness, while in others, it might be viewed as a healthy and acceptable expression of emotion. However, when it comes to loved ones, the impact of their tears often transcends cultural norms.

The full verse from Psalm 34 is: "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all." It highlights the paradox that while those who strive to live righteously may face many troubles, God ultimately provides deliverance. 

Here's a breakdown: 

"Many are the afflictions of the righteous...":

This acknowledges that even those who follow God's path may encounter suffering and hardship.

"...but the Lord delivers him out of them all.":

This part emphasizes God's intervention and protection, assuring that He will not abandon the righteous amidst their trials.
