My name's Justin, and I'm a Buddhist. I take bits from Hindu, and Taoist philosophy as well though. I blog about religion, politics, philosophy, and whatever else I feel like blogging about. I've grown a lot over the years, but I'm still far from where I want to be. If you have any questions then ask away! Don't be shy.

 

You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.

Plato (via winsome-words)

Words cannot describe reality. Only direct experience enables us to see the true face of reality.

People.

The people who hate on other people for what they believe in is only causing themselves more pain. Hate can never cancel out hate it is simple logic. The real way to overturn to hate and ignorance of people is through love and compassion. If we stopped hating each other and started loving then everything would be so much easier. The more we love ourselves and the world which we are connected with then the only possible thing that can come out of that is an infinite compassion to everyone regardless of beliefs or differences.
