Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -

Two priests died at the same time and met Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates.
'St. Peter said, "I'd like to get you guys in now, but our computer is down. You'll have to go back to Earth for about a week, but you can't go back as priests. So what else would you like to be?"
The first priest says, "I've always wanted to be an eagle, soaring above the Rocky Mountains." "So be it," says St. Peter, and off flies the first priest.
The second priest mulls this over for a moment and asks, "Will any of this week 'count', St. Peter ?"
"No, I told you the computer's down. There's no way we can keep track of what you're doing."
"In that case," says the second priest, "I've always wanted to be a stud."
"So be it" says St. Peter, and the second priest disappears.
A week goes by, the computer is fixed, and the Lord tells St. Peter to recall the two priests.
"Will you have any trouble locating them?" He asks.
"The first one should be easy," says St. Peter. "He's somewhere over the Rockies, flying with the eagles.
But the second one could prove to be more difficult."
"Why?" asketh the Lord.
"He's on a snow tire, somewhere in North Dakota."Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

In Other Words ...
This argument assumes the fact that we were born - but is this the case -Buddhism brings to our atttention the Unborn - the incalculable and the infinite - which cannot be represented by a finite instrument such as language - altough meta-languages such as poetry can point to the realms of the Infinite.
So from the Buddhist perspective - you cannot Die - because YOU were never 'born' - in other words the Ego is in fact a hoax -an illusion.
In other words - I am here as you are here as you are me and we are all together.
Or in other words - Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words - hold my hand
In other words - darling kiss me
Fill my life with song
And let me sing forevermore
You - are all I hope for
All I worship and adore
In other words - please be true
In other words- I love youLast edited by AlfredJPruffock; 6 April 2007, 12:48.Comment
