BELIEF is a VERY STRONG THING. 'Right' or 'Wrong' is sometimes just of sub-importance.Originally posted by Li Ka Shing:I dont think I waste anybody's time. I want to know more views, even though I have my own views, it doesn't mean my view is the best or the only one view. I want to know what other people think. If they can give me good views and good arguments, I am open to change my own view. I am not someone who thinks I am the one who is right and everybody is wrong. So I want to see see first. When I explain my views, im merely explaining and describing them, without saying that my views are surely the only correct ones.
true. but what if he didn't snatch the girl. next time he gets a girlfriend the normal way and someone snatches her. how would he be justified? just because u're a good person doesn't mean bad things don't happen, then whats the point of being good?Originally posted by fudgester:Even if they are not lovey-dovey, just let them be.
Don't even think about interfering.
If you do manage to successfully snatch the gal, wait till someone else snatches her. You had better be emotionless when that happens.
If you protest at that, then you're a hypocrite.
One thing about me - I'm brutally direct.
Some of my friends have put forward this question before - why bother being good when bad things can still happen to you?Originally posted by dumbdumb!:true. but what if he didn't snatch the girl. next time he gets a girlfriend the normal way and someone snatches her. how would he be justified? just because u're a good person doesn't mean bad things don't happen, then whats the point of being good?![]()
just a theological question
both ways, u suffer. but by being good, other ppl enjoy, not you. so what if u tell urself that u didn't deserve it? bottomline is, u still suffer.Originally posted by fudgester:Some of my friends have put forward this question before - why bother being good when bad things can still happen to you?
Well, my answer to that - at least if bad things happen to you, then you can tell yourself that you didn't do anything to deserve it. While you may suffer, you can at least have a clear conscience knowing that you didn't commit any wrongdoing to justify your suffering.
But if you did something wrong, then, well - you've got yourself to blame for anything wrong that happens to you. In the end you're going to have to suffer for the bad things that have happened to you AND have a guilty conscience at the same time.
Quite a number of people have wronged me before in the past, and they all ended up suffering in the end. I can give you examples if you want, but it'll take too long. Whether it's divine intervention or pure coincidence is a question which I do not have the answer to.
The bottom line is pretty simple though - be a nice person. Make the world a better place to live in.
Say what you will.Originally posted by dumbdumb!:both ways, u suffer. but by being good, other ppl enjoy, not you. so what if u tell urself that u didn't deserve it? bottomline is, u still suffer.
whereas in the other case, at least u know u deserve it. but by being good, u know u didn't deserve it, but u still suffer, which is a major injustice! which is worse?

haha.. i so used to be like you. until harsh reality sets inOriginally posted by fudgester:Say what you will.
I would rather suffer as a good guy than enjoy life as a bad guy.
I would rather go down in history at the guy who did the right thing in the face of suffering than have people spitting at my grave for enjoying life by committing bad deeds.
So itz her religion eh?? Damn... Guess no chance liao.Originally posted by dumbdumb!:i'm facing the same problem
