[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 186769, member: 14641"] Mickji Let us take something as simple as bacon. Yesterday, I hated bacon, I would not eat it if you paid me, the horrible porky smell, the grease, the taste, yuk , give me a large bar of chocolate anyday. Today, I love bacon, I have just had a huge fried breakfast, if both feelings are real, at the time anyway, which one is the true reflection of my feelings on bacon? Which one do I plan my life by? Should I buy more bacon? Should I buy bacon at all? was I having a bad bacon day yesterday? is today a one off? Somewhere there in this situation is the truth, and the truth is that I love bacon, so how much weight do I give yesterdays feelings? How much importance do I give them? the real state is the natural state. If you boil water and it becomes steam, it does not happen on its own, its natural state is water. If I eat certain things, or drink certain things, or think certain things, then my feelings change, it is the natural state that I am interested in, the true state. The true state of water is liquid. It is not a question of what is real or not, more what is true. I believe that it does, if that state is brought on using external forces. If I concede this argument, that they are indeed real, which I have no huge problem doing, but should they be given weight? I act on my feelings, if I feel hungry, I eat, thirsty, I drink, if my feelings, however real they may be are brought about by external stimuli, how much weight should I give them? If all feelings are real, which ones do you trust? I feel everything, I am attracted and feel aversion to everything, to the point where in so far as personality is concerned, anything is possible, between the base howling of an animal to the noble pose of a man, there exist a million different points of existence. pointless? my dear friend, if I did not class certain thoughts or feelings as invalid, then I would probably be in a prison cell now. I have to label huge swathes of my thinking as pointless on a daily basis, in the days that I did not, in the days I gave them validity and weight, my actions represented those of a madman, at least now, I merely have the thought process of a madman, I know which I prefer. absolutely, but I also recognise the world as somewhat skewed too...... I expected you to tear apart my explanation, after all they were quite weak arguments, however, I hope you understand the essence, for me and for you, yes we can split hairs and get bogged down in semantics, (not that I am anti semantic, ok I swear I will never use that one liner again), however, for those that do not have time to contemplate life, for those living life on the sharp end, the starving, the desperate, I wager those thieves assist in survival. blatantly impossible? trust you? use a tried and tested methodology? no thanks, my mind is precious, and if its all the same I would rather follow my gut feelings and rely on my reason :) as you would, as you are a Buddhist, and I respect that, but its not for me not at all, fixed states or consistency are no guarantee of truth, if I have intimated this, I apologise. again, not at all, the truth is the truth, I only equate the truth with the truth [/QUOTE]
