When I go on vacation to visit family, I usually allow myself to eat meat. I do this for a few reasons. One reason is that it’s difficult to find restaurants that have extensive veggie options that my family will also enjoy eating at. Similarly, some family members do not understand vegetarianism, and think that it’s rude to not eat their food. So, seeing as I am visiting “family” in...

maha-bekandze:
Authenticity cannot exist in you without the reconciling of body with mind, and mind with soul; sincerity is only possible from the communion taking place between your mind and your soul. This is why contemplation is necessary, to reconcile the mind with soul as a means to unify them, the end being that all communication henceforth-to Oneself and to others-is an act of the soul...

God wants nothing of you but the gift of a peaceful heart.

takethatatheism:
Atheists, don’t you love Camus? Even he thinks you should kill yourselves. I disagree though, I don’t think you should, but what other choice is there if your worldview is correct? There is none! And yet you have chosen it! This is what you academia types call “argumentum ad absurdum” I have shown that assuming the truth of a premise leads to a contradiction, therefore the...

Does anyone on this blog speak multiple languages?
I often see quotes in French and Spanish, but am reluctant to reblog since I assume my audience here mostly speaks English. I speak Spanish myself, and wish I spoke French to read the original texts. I’m just curious if I should reblog more multilingual quotes :)
