Multitude of Ideas

Looking to the self brings an innumerable amount of feeling and thought, much of which is useless and wasted on the intelligence of man. Explanations for this waste and useless thought is irrelevant, for the source of it is largely different for every person, therefore looking into the origin of this thought, in a specific manner, would also be a waste of time.

Feeling. It is hard to define and describe feeling in any truly specific way. There are of course many words used for this purpose, although I think are mostly inadequate and the language of feeling is much more intricate. If only we had 'feel' receptors, or ways to sense what people were feeling other than the circumstantial ways we have now, life would be more true.
Feeling is simply just another tool. The instincts of feeling can be very useful at times but it is important to have control and be aware of them. For example, if I feel 'angry' , I can use that anger to my advantage for completing tasks more vigorously, yet if I am unaware of this anger feeling, for example if I just don't feel good(not realizing that my feelings stem from anger), I would let the anger control me and I would likely do things that would be uninhibited.

Inhibition is only useful if you have created it yourself. Taught, or trained inhibitions are detrimental because of their enormous effects. A properly trained emotion will do its bidding one hundred percent of the time. On the other hand, emotions that are not controlled and/or trained, can run wild and cause chaos within you and your life.

Words get in the way, sadly they our best means of communication. If words were defined strictly, communication would be much easier. A universal language is necessary for the understand of each other. We cannot evolve while we cannot understand each other. Languages all underline the feelings, customs of the specific country/area they were developed... The bigger problem is ego. Please visit www.esperanto.com

Ego, the perpetual sense of self, the it that everyone lives by, with the unstated argument that if "I" could not perceive or interact with the world, then the world would not exist. The obvious conclusion after giving this some thought for everyone should be that it is not the world that would not exist, it is the individual in the world. This conclusion wrongly implies that life is the beginning and end of all.

Without faith in the knowledge of immortality, the soul has no peace. This is why there is such interest in religion. The implication of faith in modern religion is that with obeying some arbitrary rules, one can live on in eternity in the afterlife. History has showed us that in difficult times, people need to believe in something supernatural and all-encompassing, seemingly because it gives them hope.
What is the answer? Faith of course, but no in some non-entity. But in humanity, in self without being egotistical, where self is all people, all life.

    I am a speaker of Esperanto. This planned language serves as universal or an auxiliary language. When I have been in Bulgaria, Croatia, Italy and other countries whose languages I do not speak, I always use Esperanto to establish local contacts, and get to know the coiuntry. It is certainly the case that Esperanto has fewer speakers than Englsh, but it does have a dynamic and vigorous speech community.

    It is is a small contribution to the building of a better world, I feel.

  2. Words certainly do get in the way of communication, and at an international level things get even worse.

    I see someone mentioned the global language Esperanto and the efforts of these pioneers promoting global understanding, through a genuine international language, demands total respect.
