I think it is totally not Chinese Proverb if you ever know a little bit Chinese Philosophy....shallow people! whatever the purpose of this thread, even just for funny -- Don't fool and insult people!!! :angry:

^ I second that notion. I read a lot of books on Tao and Zen and Chinese Philosphy, and thought maybe someone else shared that interest. I was upset to learn it was done in a mockery. If you don't know anything about the subject, don't talk about it! :angry: :angry:

**girls are not happy

I noticed...and when girl's arent happy, they make everyone else unhappy :lol: :P joking ladies

Confusious he say "No point looking for a cat in a darkened room, especially when the cat isn't there"

 

Think those words of wisdom can sum up this thread :)

 

PS for those with no clue (ie blond girls) it means "Don't go looking for problems, especially those that don't exist"

:lol:

hmm, sorry if someone feels offending, cauze I am chinese and I like philosophy a lot, might be too sensitive/serious in this thread. And, the plain translation is just *funny* to me since it is totally forgetting the context (cultrue, history) stuff, thus making no sense or confused to foreigners and me as well.

 

but for the Happiness, waoooo, i was not aware of. it is not for here, but it might be true sometimes for girls, more irrational/emotional. I admit, boys.

 

But this one "War does not determine who is right, war determine who is left. "

Although most of the people don't want to admit/accept it, the crulty of the whole. In western, there also is "Fittest Survival" theory.

 

DJ: "No point looking for a BLACK cat in a darkened room, especially when the cat isn't there"

 

I think the original one has BLACK for emphasis...actually, i think it means we identify things from Relativity(i.e. if all the people are the same, no woman, no man :) or we can't differenciate things if we can only know the same part, or especially it is vain to look for objective Nothing with your subjective Must Something there - this part is for Subjective/Objective relation) In objective world, absoluteness doesn't exsit...

the thing with philosophy and religion is that each person takes their own view on a phrase or statement, look how many different christianity religions all sprung up from 1 bible purely down to different opinions on what God actually meant when he said "blah blah"...

 

I have tried to understand your last paragraph but i think your meaning got lost in translation :( Still prefer my idea to it tho...but then that's personal choice...the equivalent english saying is "Don't make a mountain out of a molehill"

Doogie is a wise man! :)

all im trying to say is don't get so annoyed at David for posting something he found funny...overreaction is bad mmkay :)

 

As Fran Healy would say "Peace the fuck out"

Thanks! Actually, i am aware that after posting, maybe I need not exlain it. I mean I am not forcing, I am just sharing..and yes Travis also sings Yin and Yong:

 

I’d pray to God if there was heaven

But heaven seems so very far from here

And it all boils down to the same old thing

Just a yin and a yang or a couple of pipe dreams

 

On the other hand, undertanding is trying to avoid misunderstanding or even conflicts..western and eastern...free choice doesn't create any problems :)
