Cutting Selfishness Generalization

More From John Gunther

Once committed to fight, cut. everything else is secondary. cut. that is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. there is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. cut. cut from the void, not from bewilderment. cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. cut decisively, resolutely. cut into the enemy’s strength. flow through the gaps in his guard. cut him. cut him down utterly. don’t allow him a breath. crush him. cut him without mercy to the depths of his spirit." -richard rahl
Crush Commitment Fighting
To one degree or another we all struggle with selfishness. since it is so common, why worry about selfishness anyway? because selfishness is really self-destruction in slow motion. no wonder the prophet joseph smith urged, "let every selfish feeling be not only buried, but annihilated" (teachings of the prophet joseph smith, p. 178). hence annihilation - not moderation - is the destination! . . . meekness is the real cure, for it does not merely mask selfishness but dissolves it!
Selfish Real Struggle
It is very easy to make wild generalizations about islam. all you have to do is read almost any issue of the new republic and you'll see there the radical evil that's associated with islam, the arabs as having a depraved culture, and so forth. these are impossible generalizations to make in the united states about any other religious or ethnic group.
Religious Issues Evil
Generalization, especially risky generalization, is one of the chief methods by which knowledge proceeds... safe generalizations are usually rather boring. delete that "usually rather." safe generalizations are quite boring.
Safe Boring Chiefs
The eternal is omniembracing and permeative; and the temporal is linear. this opens up a very high order of generalizations of generalizations. the truth could not be more omni-important, although it is often manifestly operative only as a linear identification of a special-case experience on a specialized subject.
Order Special Important
The politics of personal destruction, the politics of division, the politics of fear, it's all there. it helps you to define the politics of moderation - the politics of democratic respect, the politics of hope - more clearly.

Similar Quotes
Because of its concrete content, sense-certainty immediately appears as the richest kind of knowledge, indeed a knowledge of infinite wealth for which no bounds can be found, either when we reach out into space and time in which it is dispersed, or when we take a bit of this wealth, and by division enter into it. moreover, sense-certainty appears to be the truest knowledge ... but, in the event, this very certainty proves itself to be the most abstract and poorest truth. all that it says about what it knows is just that it is; and its truth contains nothing but the sheer being of the thing.
Space Events Division
Place, time, life, death, earth, heaven are divisions and distinctions we make, like the imaginary lines we trace upon the surface of the globe.

I am the last person who would divide jerusalem. i have said this many times. i don't plan to discuss any division of jerusalem.

How can we speak of the action of the mind under any divisions, as of its knowledge, of its ethics, of its works, and so forth, since it melts will into perception, knowledge into act? each becomes the other. itself alone is.
Perception Mind Division
