attempted to be hijacked by individuals within the main organization or peripheral organizations, for their own base purposes ?
Would individuals in the organization begin to suffer %26quot;stockholm syndrome%26quot; from these attempts to hijack the quality ?
Would a person suffering from %26quot;stockholm syndrome%26quot; tend to hijack the organization ?
So if there is a %26quot;critical mass%26quot; of people in the organization suffering from %26quot;stockholm syndrome%26quot; and attempting to hijack the organization, is the result that quality goes into free fall, with little prospect of returning to its former high value ?

Reply:First you have to define good....
I think all people are inherently good. Stigmas are what reinforce bad behavior. If you seek the development of the species as a whole, I define that as being good. If you try to manipulate others for your own good at their expense, with no mutual benefit, then you%26#039;re bad.
That does NOT mean being of any religion.

Reply:Since we invented the idea of %26#039;good%26#039;, I%26#039;m going to go with %26quot;you don%26#039;t appear to be thinking very clearly%26quot;.
Reply:Yes, there is a lot of good in human nature just as there is a lot of undesirable qualities.
Sometimes it is difficult to see the good because media seems intent on highlighting the bad. With so much negative press it is easy to think we are on a downward slope.
However, on a day to day basis we can see the good if we are open to it. Even a smile from a complete stranger reveals the good in human nature.
Yes, I think there still exists a lot of good in us and I am thankful for that.
Reply:Yes lots of things... I tend to think people are born innocent, good and full of potential. No one is born evil or bad. Watch young toddlers and kids playing.. they so just enjoy being alive, discovering, exploring, laughing and having fun. I think they are in touch with their human-ness. But as teenagers and adults we seem to go through a transformation; and end up as egotistical, selfish people... dog-eat-dog. It doesn%26#039;t HAVE to be like that... but LIFE and living does change you from innocent and naive to cynical and pessimistic! (Or maybe that%26#039;s just me!!) BUT again that doesn%26#039;t mean there isn%26#039;t anything good left in humans. It get hidden under pressure, stress, cynicism and disappointments. Practically EVERYONE ohhs and aaah over baby animals. There is an innate tendency to find things cute and adorable.
Reply:The most important thing, which is good enough, is this that you%26#039;re a HUMAN being! As you%26#039;re a Human being, of course everything in you are GOOD including your Nature, naturally! If not, then you are inhuman, right?
%26quot;Mother taking child%26#039;s care%26quot; can%26#039;t be the answer to your question or love or friendship etc. All these we innate since we%26#039;re HUMAN BEING! Animals do the same, right? So, only GOOD thing in human nature is to think oneself as a HUMAN being.

Reply:Read the Qur%26#039;an , May God give you knowledge because he gives knowledge to whom he wants.
Reply:you need to define your terms before you ask a question like that. people have pointed out that %26quot;good%26quot; is a created idea, but so is %26quot;human nature%26quot;. What do you define as human nature? some one mentioned the way mothers care for babies, but that happens in the majority of animal species, don%26#039;t most mammals, like your pets, express love also? you can%26#039;t really answer this question because %26quot;human nature%26quot; is a created label, and frankly theres not a lot that separates us from the animals!
Reply:I must admit that it is difficult to imagine when you come to think of this critically. This however is not due to the fact that human nature is devoid of all goodness but due to the reason the there is nothing absolutely good about human nature. We all suffer from personal as well as general limitations to our natural capabilities, i.e. however idealistic we might be in our notions of good and bad, we will never be perfectly good or entirely bad in character.
This is the fact that we are endowed with an ability to choose to be good or to bad at will. It is natural in me, for instance, to wonder as why people go bad, but not very common to think and feel puzzled as why people do good things - we all know and feel deep inside that it is only human to be good, or to do good.
I therefore believe that to aspire to be good is most natural to us. We all like to be known as good and strong people, and like to know people who we think are good and strong. This self-enabling way of our being good is so much part of human nature that we earnestly claim our ability to do good as OUR goodness. This becomes manifest when for instance we see that we like to retain our right of choice, i.e. to be either good or bad at will, for if we could do nothing but all good then our goodness, not being a matter of OUR choice, would not be good after all, we would feel.
Reply:In adverse climes and days of trial it seems there is no good in man, or purpose in living but to be subjected to meaningless trials and unending and futile battles that have no cause or end but to torment one it cannot destroy.
May days then be filled with light, the heart inspired, and the spirit awakened and aware of all the beauty, vulnerability and tenderness in the souls of humanity.
The strongest are the vulnerable, the devoutest, faithless. The loving angered and hateful, the religious can be evil, the proud the humbled in heart.
Such is the nature of life in these testing times of trial and tribulation. Steadfast and strong in heart, holding firm to faith in good conquering evil, Love abounding and purifying all, Ultimately.

Do you agree that the concept of Anarchist Anationality should be politically established?
I want to cast off the concepts of religion and nationality and have the concept of Anarchist Anationality politically established. In realisation that God exists, I declare to God that God is a military-paramilitary mind and that I could never work with him. Therefore, I ask for an angel to be a political friend. Are there angels. Do we all have a guardian angel. Do you know your angel. Can you know your angel. I declare to God that I can%26#039;t work with God and desire an angel to be a political friend who truly believes in my philosophy. As a means of having the true nature of the political concept of anarchism politically recognised, I desire for the concept of Anarchist Anationality to be politically established. As the true nature of political reality is that God has already shared his power with the state and capitalism, the true nature of anarchism is to desire power independently of the state and capitalism, and therefore I need an independent angel who believes in true anarchism.

Do you agree that Mr Levey had no right to declare an ideology in the name of an angel who doesn't exist.?
Mr Levey has established the church of satan and declared an ideology in the name of an angel called satan who does not actually exist and who never declared an ideology. God wrote all religious and a supposed angel such as the devil, satan never wrote anything.. It is known that God invented all things on this earth and that such an angel never had any power. It is known that God has shared his power with the state and capitalism and that a supposed angel called the devil never had any power. The devil, satan is only mentioned a few times in the Bible and does not actually exist.
If there could be an angel who does object to God then you would have to ask God%26#039;s permission to be a friend of such an angel. I am prepared to have an open debate about this, as it is necessary to have an angel who is independent of God, as God is a military-parmilitary mind and I can%26#039;t work with God myself.
Do you agree that Mr Levey had no right to declare an ideology in the name of an angel who doesn%26#039;t exist.?
I dont get it...
God exists but Satan doesnt? So youre just a %26quot;little%26quot; blinded by faith and ignorance? You will believe in a God. But not in his counterpart which has just as much credence in tenet?
I thought the serpent in the garden, Lucifer, and other such nouns and pronouns were all indicative of the same person - the devil. Its in scripture, but you dont believe it? What kind of Christian are you?
How many times must something be mentioned in scripture for it to become %26quot;real%26quot;? The fact that Satan was %26quot;only mentioned a few times%26quot; means that is must be bogus? So what is the magical number count for tenet to go from a lie to a truth?
Furthermore, you make a few ridiculous presumptions that beg for proof. %26quot;God has shared his power with the state and capitalism.%26quot; I must have missed that verse... was that mentioned in Peter?
You cant believe in the devil without believing in God too. You cant hate god without believing in him. So, no one will worship or befriend the devil... unless they were evil to begin with. They wont ask for Gods permission to befriend the devil... because if they care what God things they wouldnt befriend the devil by choice, not because they werent given permission.
An angel that doesnt exist would be %26quot;Bob%26quot; or %26quot;Jerry%26quot;. No, Lucifer was quite explicitly named in theology.
And I cant believe I wasted all this time writing a detailed answer to someone with such a backward and twisted brain. It surprising your even alive, because that chunk of lard in your skull died a long time ago. Your question doesnt make sense no matte what you believe or what your opinions are... the thoughts simply dont flow.

Can you picture a colour that doesn't exist?
Nope
Can you picture a colour that doesn%26#039;t exist?
Yup, Cloak or Stealth mode.
Can you picture a colour that doesn%26#039;t exist?
First of all, we can%26#039;t picture a color that doesn%26#039;t exist, because well it doesn%26#039;t exist. Maybe you are considering a color that we haven%26#039;t experienced yet. I have theorized something like that, but it wouldn%26#039;t be in our light spectrum or by our eye. To answer your question, I cannot picture a color that does not exist, because if I could think it about it, and I know I can think, than I exist and this color as a thought would exist also.
Reply:To picture, to imagine and to think of a colour that doesn%26#039;t exist, means the brain will follow the logical path by bringing the already existed colours and try to remix them to get new one, so the answer is no as we will be using the same variation of the given colours.

For all we know, even the master creator of all the reality of the multiversal dimensions may have found it difficult to picture the primary colours we use today.

Reply:I%26#039;m not afraid of death, I just don%26#039;t want to be there when it happens.
Reply:%26quot;The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.%26quot; - Mark Twain
%26quot;To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear it as if they knew quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?%26quot; - Socrates

Reply:Who says we%26#039;re all afraid of death? I%26#039;m not.
That%26#039;s an interesting question though, I%26#039;ll have to admit. We%26#039;re given all these messages of %26quot;heaven%26quot; and %26quot;afterlife%26quot;, and how great they are. (unless we sin of course, then it%26#039;s hell for us) However, if these places are so great, why are %26quot;we%26quot; so terrified of death? do we subconciously know, somewhere deep in our souls, that there really is nothing after? There%26#039;s no pearly gates, a place to rest our souls?
I think perhaps what %26quot;we%26quot; fear is maybe not our own deaths, but the fact that there could be nothing beyond it. That our dead loved ones aren%26#039;t really watching us, they%26#039;re just rotting corpses in the ground. And we, too, will rot there. Our uniqueness, our thoughts, our ability to create and feel will never live on, it will just become the ground on which others walk upon.
We%26#039;ll just have to wait and see what happens, won%26#039;t we?

Reply:realisation of the word %26quot;eternal%26quot; makes all the difference.
Reply:It may also be because we are afriad where we will go- up or down? Or lost in the void between them?
Reply:Dear friend,
telling these words like a parrot is not KNOWING.
the real thing is we do not really know it , we simply read and repeat it that Death takes us to another life and it is not the end.When REALLY WE KNOW IT WE WILL NEVER FEAR ARE SCARED OF DEATH,
Reply:We all like to live this life, which was given to us. When time comes to end it then dust goes to dust. Nothing to be scared of.
Reply:I%26#039;m not afraid of death, I just don%26#039;t want to be there when it happens.
Reply:%26quot;The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.%26quot; - Mark Twain
%26quot;To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear it as if they knew quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?%26quot; - Socrates
%26quot;The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there%26#039;s no risk of accident for someone who%26#039;s dead.%26quot; - Albert Einstein
%26quot;I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.%26quot; - Winston Churchill
Reply:Dying is probably the easiest thing you can do.
It is hard to accept being non existent,but all troubles end there.
Reply:%26#039;We%26#039; do not know it is eternal, %26#039;we%26#039; believe it is eternal (I do not). Because %26#039;we%26#039; don%26#039;t know it for sure, %26#039;we%26#039; fear death.
Reply:Who says we%26#039;re all afraid of death? I%26#039;m not.
That%26#039;s an interesting question though, I%26#039;ll have to admit. We%26#039;re given all these messages of %26quot;heaven%26quot; and %26quot;afterlife%26quot;, and how great they are. (unless we sin of course, then it%26#039;s hell for us) However, if these places are so great, why are %26quot;we%26quot; so terrified of death? do we subconciously know, somewhere deep in our souls, that there really is nothing after? There%26#039;s no pearly gates, a place to rest our souls?
I think perhaps what %26quot;we%26quot; fear is maybe not our own deaths, but the fact that there could be nothing beyond it. That our dead loved ones aren%26#039;t really watching us, they%26#039;re just rotting corpses in the ground. And we, too, will rot there. Our uniqueness, our thoughts, our ability to create and feel will never live on, it will just become the ground on which others walk upon.
We%26#039;ll just have to wait and see what happens, won%26#039;t we?
The secure seek new experiences, the insecure secure there experiences?
seeing how short life is, why not walk out on a new limb rather than build a fort on a strong limb.
The secure seek new experiences, the insecure secure there experiences?
%26quot;the insecure secure THEIR experiences?%26quot; Sorry, it was bothering me. Maybe they don%26#039;t walk out on a new limb because they are sick of people telling them what to do.
The secure seek new experiences, the insecure secure there experiences?
I think it is the other way around.The secure are content and may not seek new experiences .The insecure seek to get their security.Your example also supports this view.
Reply:seeking/realising/accepting new experiences makes one secure,
just think what kind of experiences does insecure fellow needs to secure
Reply:I agree with yogiraj, it%26#039;s the other way around.
Being insecure myself I always seek new experiences.
Reply:Insecure people can not secure anything.
Reply:Absolutely!
That has been my philosophy for many years. And you know what? I%26#039;ve actually had many experiences, good and bad, but at least I%26#039;ve experienced life%26#039;s adventures. I%26#039;ve learned a great deal through these experiences. I%26#039;ve grown as a person and in maturity because I allowed myself to leap before looking.
I am now more secure than anyone of my siblings, who never did experience too much of life. And I continue to seek out new adventures to learn from, even in my later years of life.
I have at least one relative who has lived almost her entire life in one town, in one house, with the same people around her, doing the same thing all the time. I%26#039;m sure in some ways she has also experienced life, but for the most part she has built a fortress around herself to keep out life%26#039;s experiences.
Reply:when I was younger I was always anxious, nervous and scared of almost everything -out of my small universe. But the greater world just kept changing and I managed to grow just like every other soul around. Things, people and myself included changed. I resisted a lot -yet I had sought and not merely wished to grow up. I came to a realization, like everyone would, that experiences are necessary.
So why don%26#039;t you ask how many people actually built their own securities from their insecurities? We all yearn for changes if they could be for the better. When people venture on to silence an insecure past they will always be haunted, consciously or not. Yes, everyone has a different threshold -how much you have convinced yourself to your dealings with your past experiences will define that limit.
Think about it pal, how much you%26#039;re willing to seek that new frontier depends on how much you would relearn from previous experiences. Even babies do that... Only the truly secure people have confronted and won against their own ghost. The insecure will stay put in their %26#039;fort%26#039; and convince themselves with the comfort of their lives.
Reply:What%26#039;s for sure is, we%26#039;re busy transitioning from secure to insecure and back again. What else is for sure is, we are all constantly in a mix of becoming... -- becoming %26#039;something%26#039;.
