In my youth, I read Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and there was a line like: “Look at who surrounds you now – in five years, you’ll become like them.” The main idea was: surround yourself with businessmen, and in five years you’ll become a businessman yourself. I got really inspired by this idea and once even refused to visit a former classmate because she was a single mother – something I was terribly afraid of becoming. Anyway, I regret that now.
So why am I writing this? Later in life, I met all kinds of people—people at different financial levels, with different spiritual development, with various mental health struggles, even with suicidal thoughts. I think Covey’s principle shouldn’t be taken as dogma—that whole “success-only mindset, I only befriend people richer and more successful than me,” and so on. I think that’s a road to nowhere.
I feel closer to the Biblical ideas:
“Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others,”
or
“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”
Because when you give desirably you will never have to.
I was thinking, will there ever be an .org social network? A non‑commercial one, where promotion wouldn’t be based on payments but on the amount of audience interest. Because nowadays paid social networks purposely limit organic page growth in order to sell paid promotion. Well, that’s the way they pay for functionality, security, and data storage. That’s understandable. But what if a social network ran on voluntary donations, like Wikipedia for example, just enough to keep it running, not to make profit?
As it is known Buddhism is Atheistic concept\religion where Karma Law plays role of God and all gods obey it (are born and die). But acting positively in the wheel of rebirthes (Samsara) you can get out of it and get to Nirvana. My question is – is Nirvana eternal? The answer in Buddhism is yes, its not dualistic but singular… the Singularity itself (= the center of black hole or the state of Universe before the Big Bang where there is no cause\effect transition and no time correspondently). So in this case I dont understand the difference between theishic concepts (all world religions) and Atheistic Buddhism. Gods in the world religions are eternal and are cause of everything = Singularity. So final destination point of Buddhism – Nirvana (Singularity) is the beginning point of all the world religions.
In this case there is the question – who created God\Singularity? The answer is – Dichotomy (Karma Law) created Singulatity. Hen+cock created an egg. Black+white created grey. And after it Grey divided back to black & white. -1 and +1 created 0. Like in quantum mechanics there is a Superposition (wave and a particle at the same time). A Schredinger’s cat is dead and alive at the same time when the box is closed and the viewer cant see the cat… so there is the same with religions – Singularity and Dichotomy at the same time = Superposition. They also can replace one another and form a circle where the end is the beginning and the beginning is the end and so on.
