thankyou

hey Sarah,

Well that's a small request which holds a very complex answer ;)

i*am sure its been debated for decades.

i*think (part) of what Bertrand Russell is stating by "the intelligent are full of doubt" is that most who are considered intelligent are very specialized in their knowledge and thinking, thus they may have a grasp of world situations, yet be unable to form a concrete position, solution or starting point to effect change.

Perhaps what is lacking is a very broad knowledge of both human and natural experience and perhaps even thought. So as is often seen in the development of change in society, it is a person who is exposed to a compassionate and wide variety of human experience and tolerance that is most likely to effect change.

Reading a bit of his work would perhaps give you a better sense of where that statement was coming from.

One may be very intelligent, yet lack certainty in their views, and how to share those view with others. Just as one may be very stupid and thus use certainty as a tool to cover the pain and fear of their ignorance. All in all it is the use or lack of certainty that creates the wall in both, each standing on their opposite sides, trying to find the door, rather than the middle ground between the two.

It most certainly is a subject one could pontificate on at length ;) and well worth some exploration by everyone.

BL*M

Thank you so much for the window in to this momentious event!!! Each speaker bringing thier focus, research and activity, strengthens the sum. Each attendee who spends time talking with others creates a fullness for which to move forward. This become a template for the tolerance of diversity and the meeting of needs that help to relax and blend communities!
Thank you Jason!!

Strong humans, are nurturing.

To be strong, is nurture, to be strong, is
to stand and fall, while the weak are the small, they dress tall with violence, and malicious, actions, weapons in the halls of institutions, dropping bombs, on humans for a cause, of humanity, a pretense, for oil, thats all. Men/Woman; Woman/Men peaceful fall but eventually they nurture, themselves back up stronger for peace, with more knowledge of the human vulnerability in the presence of violence and war. To search for a cure, in non-violence, we must stop and gaze more, because, the best intentions, and best heart are not cure, and I would like to encourage, propeace humans, to take a minute, and imagine, peace, and practice the cure, in little ways in each day, It is easy to fine all kinds of violence, in a day, just stop and gaze, and experiment, What would happen if I did this, would this change, what I have just gazed upon, It does not have to big, I stopped a toddler from screaming, a stranger, in the check out line by smiling. For people like me, who are not the Buddist, the enlightened, start with a step, of what would happen, if I-.

and so they does the tell each and every night to the children of peace, of how in the long way past, man and beast lived apart without sharing their strength, without knowing their unity, without thinking of peaceful change, and of how the voices of peace came to the silent place of truth to gain the way of our future, the way of our being, the way of our now, the way of peace, to share with each and every entity of all The*Worldâ€™s.

"It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most
intelligent, but rather the one most responsive to change." ~ Charles
Darwin

"The fundamental cause of trouble in the world today is that the stupid
are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt." ~ Bertrand Russell

"If you wish to astonish the whole world, tell the simple truth." ~ Rahel

and so we continue ;)
