Love fades, compassion disappears, honor dies, holinesses self-destructs, integrity is bought.

Everything will disappear. Happiness will disappear too.

Quote:You can live to be happy. I rather embrace the sadness of the poor, oppressed, suffering, starving, then constantly try to ignore them by wasting my time trying to be happy.

Oh, I'm sure an embrace of sadness will make the poor, oppressed, suffering, and starving feel much better.

Happiness and ignoring people are not one and the same. Infact, they're completely unconnected. Would you care to demonstrate how this would be otherwise?

Quote:I won't make the excuse there is nothing I can do about it. Of course, without trying, nothing can be done.

All sorts of things can be done without trying.

Quote:And I won't just join some organization and think I performed my duty.

Because one poor hooker is going to make a global difference to a population of 7 billion? Right.

Quote:I sought wisdom because I wanted to know how I ought to live.

Good for you. Did you also seek candy? If not, then what a huge waste time seeking worthlessness Smile

Quote:In that search, I've come to know I have a soul, I have a spiritual sword that fights me when I ignore it and strengthens me when I embrace, and my actions are alive. But I don't care if someone does believes that or not.

Spiritual sword? Must be a lightsaber.

One of only two kinds that comes to my mind right now. Is it a projection of your aura, perhaps? Tongue

Quote:What is important to me, is that we stand up for what we believe is good and work hard for what we believe is good.

And if I happen to believe that the butchery of every human upon this planet is good? Sleepy

Quote:I always believed in the quest for the truth. I never thought it would burden me with such a heavy duty. But it has.

Yes. Heavy doody is indeed a burden. Eat less, poop more, less burden. That's God's honest truth.

Quote:I sought wisdom, and it has filled me with sadness and heavy burden of a sense of duty.

You and your sadness. Oh boo hoo.

Quote:Happiness is overrated. I want myself to be with the tortured. I want myself to be with the oppressed. All the time.

If you want yourself to be with the torture, go crucify yourself. If you want to be with the oppressed, go to hell.

Simple Smile

Quote:I want to remember the pain of the starving. I want that to motivate me.

Starving painfully is a motivation alright... for food. I take it you're hungry all the time?

Quote:I rather embrace sadness and that be my motivation.

You're a very sad person.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
