Murph Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Do you think there IS indeed a ying / yang, a balance in the universe, and such? Do you think the amount of pain you'll endure will be equal to the amount of pleasure you've received? I was blessed to gig bars for some 35+ years, rode motorcycles through the Arizona desert as a young man, did construction work for many decades and enjoyed the finest herbs, tobaccos, beers and other things for many, many years. But some of those collisions, close calls and bad decisions are now (it seems) causing little aches and pains to become constant reminders that I had a helluva good time................

j45nick Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Aches, pains, good memories, bad memories--and no memories--are signs of a life well lived.

Smurfbird Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Trust me, I couldn't have done a quarter of your activities and I suffer from an elusive arthritis that comes and goes and makes me feel about 40 years older than I am on any random day (I'm only 45). So, unless I'm paying for a previous life's sins, I'm just unlucky. As the Butthole Surfers once advised, "Remember, son, it's better to regret something you have done than something you haven't.

MorrisrownSal Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I love, in addition to guitars, boats. Men are very much like boats too. Which reminds me of this quote.

fortyearspickn Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Ships and sailors rot in port. NOT IF IT IS A GOOD 'LIBERTY PORT' ! Seriously, Murf, It is hard to imagine a force, a celestial scorekeeper, that could balance the subjectivity of the joys and pains we feel throughout our lives so that we come out 'even' before we die. While many believe in a final reckoning, or settling of accounts after we die (Judeo-Christianity 101) it is true that some feel the reckoning and balancing takes place before we die. I just don't see proof of it: Too many instances of "The Good Die Young" and "Evil Prospers" Of course, if you drink a fifth of Jim Beam every day, you can expect there will be consequences before you die. Actually - the actual death might be the consequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainpicker Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Well, over 3500 years of Chinese literature and culture consider yin/yang. If you consider yin/yang, for every balance there is unbalance. The question(s) you are contemplating, or maybe you're just playing, are as old as mankind. We live in a physical world of cause and effect, which is reflected in the metaphysical world by belief in karma. But, who knows? Them that know are on the other side and can't relay the truth to us. But, for me, I am most attracted to Zen. You have your zen and I have mine...so to speak, lol. But what really attracted me to zen the most, years ago, is when I read some old master from like 800 A.D. or so and he said that the closest thing to zen (the zen state) is playing music, which most all of us here have in common. I don't have the discipline to go whole hog in the pursuit of Zen but I do have the discipline to practice playing the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
