Ways Of Life Quotes

“Being materially wealthy but spiritually poor is not worth anything.
It’s much better to be happy than rich. Many rich people commit suicide. What good was their wealth? I wish both riches and joy for you, but giving up your joy in exchange for wealth is not worth it. Luckily you don’t have to give up your wealth to obtain joy and you don’t have to give up your joy to obtain wealth. You simply need to reconnect with the vibrant energy in and all around you. He who is happiest is the richest person in the world. Our culture is so obsessed with materiality, but I promise you, we’re focused on the wrong thing. All the matter in the universe only makes up 4% of all the stuff in the universe. Energy is what really matters and it’s what we’re really made of. Without it you’re just a decaying lump of skin and bones.”

“Jangan percaya hal apapun hanya karena kamu telah mendengarnya. Jangan percaya hal apapun hanya karena hal itu telah dibicarakan dan digunjingkan oleh banyak orang.
Jangan percaya hal apapun hanya karena hal itu tertulis dalam kitab-kitab keagamaanmu. Jangan percaya hal apapun hanya karena hal itu dikatakan berdasarkan otoritas guru-guru dan sesepuh-sesepuhmu.
Jangan percaya tradisi apapun hanya karena tradisi itu telah diwariskan dari satu generasi ke generasi lainnya.
Tetapi setelah kamu observasi dan analisis, maka ketika kamu mendapati hal apapun sejalan dengan akal-budimu dan menolongmu untuk mendatangkan kebaikan dan manfaat bagi satu dan semua orang, maka terimalah itu dan jalankanlah.”
― Gautama Buddha

“In many ways we are more split than ever between our conscious, social selves and our unconscious Shadow. We live in a culture that enforces powerful codes of correctness that we must abide by or face the shaming that is not so common on social media.

― Robert Greene, The Laws of Human Nature

“All life is subject to the Law of Averages”

“Disagreement about moral codes seems to reflect people's adherence to and participation in different ways of life. The causal connections seems to be mainly that way round: it is that people approve of monogamy because they participate in a monogamous way of life rather than that they participate in a monogamous way of life because they approve of monogamy.”
