Yes, actions speak louder than words, but you know what speaks loudest of all? What comes from inside of you. Qualities such as kindness, tolerance, PUL etc. Only those who are truely genuine will positively shine these qualities from within. You could donate until the cows come home, you could travel to Africa and help those who are starving but that doesn't define you as who you are. It's what comes from within that truely defines a person for who they really are. And, um, just one thing I'd like to remind everyone of, charity begins at home.
Actions are always better then words.
If everyone thought, aslong as they believe people should'nt starve, they wont. Everyone who was starving would'nt be dead. Because if good thoughts dont equal good actions, then they are pointless.
You may wish to murder someone, what seperates you and the guy doing life imprisonment is actions, your ability to control yourself.
Actions do define who you are, why do you think hero's are people who put themselves at risk to follow there beliefs?
I could think, my thoughts say, letting people starve is wrong, but your thoughts are obviously worthless, if you dont do anything about it. The more you believe somthing the more effort you put into it.
powerful thought = powerful action.
Weak thought = worthless.
Okay, consider this, it works both ways. if we claim something that you think isn't backed up by hard/strong evidence, then we're wrong. But every time you claim something, and you can't back it up with the kind of evidence that you demand, then by your own logic, you're wrong too.
Yup, thats correct. I hold myself to the same standards as everyone else. If my evidence cannot be proved, then i would be wrong. The only difference between me and others is what we class as good evidence.
Then why don't you? Instead of saying that you will if we want you to, you should provide us with your "evidence". Otherwise you're just playing games.
People who say thoughts are better then actions, are crazy. Plain and simple. I would consider murdering them, but then again it does'nt meen i would comit the act.
I'll use the africa scenario again.
You see a charity appeal on TV, people are starving in africa, you sit there and you think to yourself, "i wish i could do something".."it upsets me"....yet if your not willing to give 2 pounds a month, then you are, whats known as a hypocrit, someone whos not willing to stick by there beliefs with actions.
Actions would feed people in africa, you spend an extra 20 minutes at work, 4 people eat for a month. You spend 2 minutes thinking how bad there situation is, 4 people are dead from starvation, but it does'nt matter because you thought good things?
A Mugger on the street.
You see a guy being mugged on the street, you think "poor sod" and walk on. You find out in the news the next day, the guy died from his injurys.
You see a guy being mugged on the street, you think "poor" sod, you call the police and attack the muggers, you have saved a persons life, you have saved his family from years of trauma, and "bad thoughts", and all it costs you was a black eye, and a bit of pain.
That is not the same thing at all. It's not even close. Keep things in context. What you are using as an example is a life-threatening situation. Just because no one here, except for one (or two, or whatever) would contact your grandmother for you, it doesn't make it a life-threatening situation. So your comparision is not a fair one.
If You hold life changing infomation back because your selfish, your skum to me. and your life means nothing to me, therefore i would not save it.
Well, put it this way, I don't care if you believe me or not when I say I have been in contact with spirits etc. If you came to me and said to me that you saw a spirit, I wouldn't believe you, and I wouldn't disbelieve you. I also wouldn't say something along the lines of "you have no evidence, so imo it's not true". It's not my place to do any of that. Just because I had an experience that you have not yet had, or seen evidence of, that doesn't make me a liar. Same goes for you. Same applies to everyone else out there.
If you dont believe me, and dont disbelieve me, then how can you have a meaningful conversation? Solid evidence is based upon reproducable facts. The sun rises each day, It has for the past so many billion years, it's 99.9% positive it will tommorow. If everyone had obe's, and they were proved to be contacting the atferlife and not just dreaming, then it would be more accepted.
Ive heard people claiming the earth will die in the year 1999. Did it? no. was it real to them? it sure was. But im right. Because the earths still here. if someone claims they have been contacted by the deceased just because they felt cold and a light bulb popped, does'nt mean that it was down to paranormal activity. Because it was the middle of winter, and the power plant had a surge.
If you want people to believe you, you need proof, otherwise your just another smuck on drugs.
If you dont care what other people believe, why post your experiences, here on anywhere else?, because you want people to back up what your saying. To prove theres somthing to this, and to prove it to yourself.
Not necessarily. I wasn't raised to be able to detect spirit activity around me. I wasn't raised to percieve spirit communicatoion. yet, I can do these things. But that's not for you to believe or disbelieve, or for you to tell me I have to prove it for any reason whatsoever.
I proved to you why actions are better then words/thoughts, yet your not willing to prove to me, you can talk to the spirit world.
You see that, leads me to believe, you dont really talk with the spirit world, because your claims are so weak, you cannot back them up.
Often, people who "detect" spirits etc, usually have no talents, so they need to invent there own. Thats why most psychics are old woman, who like there 3 box's of chocolates a day. They need someone to tell them there special, and if they can contact the dead for people, they are guarenteed a nice bit of praise.
That's debatable but not for this thread, as it would just make the whole thread go off-topic.
I would like to see you try.
So you speak for the majority of people and their views?
Polls, laws, general values, yea i speak for the majority, because i did my homework.
I say this instead: If you have the ability to help yourself with no cost to yourself, you should do it. Unless dont like yourself.
I have no idea, why you said this.
Oh really? So you've asked every single human being on this planet? No? I didn't think so. Therefore that's just an assumption, and
assumptions are worth very little
Did i even say every human?.. no, so dont mince my words, i said the majority. Look at our books, video's, even religous scriptures, look at polls, surveys. Then tell me i am wrong, until then dont argue with things, that every 5 year old would call common sense.
Worthless to you maybe but please do not try and speak for the majority of humanity.
Read my last point.
