Zack

I'd like to meet:

People that want to create a lasting change. Loving individuals who are open to new ideas and possibilites.
People that don't feel the need to fill the akward silences in life, because they don't have any.
Very recently I have made the very serious decision to become chaste (to not engage in sexual intercourse). Depriving myself of intercourse is a method to create a better understanding of self. It is also the safest way to go about living your life. I believe in true love and I am a sincere romantic, I look forward to the day I meet my soulmate... but in the meantime, I refuse to cheapen my belief by wasting seed/energy and dulling myself to the wonderousness of true love and it's consumation. I used to indulge in the physical rewards of the present and live a very Carpe Diem styled life, and although it has given me great experience and wisdom, it has not been as rewarding as I thought it would have been, so I choose to seek out the greatest reward, which also must be earned as the result of great patience, dedication and effort. For some, there is a belief that all that we have is in the now, and all that exists or that we can come to know exists is now... but I have been a part of the past and I am currently expereiencing the very future of that aforementioned present so this is enough proof for me to dismiss such claims and invest in something far greater.
I am capable of communicating with anybody, I only seek romance with Vegans.

To know, is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.
-Confucius

"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men."
&
"While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart."
-St. Francis of Assisi

Anarchism recognises only the relative significance of ideas, institutions, and social conditions. It is, therefore not a fixed, self enclosed social system, but rather a definite trend in the historical development of mankind, which, in contrast with the intellectual guardianship of all clerical and governmental institutions, strives for the free unhindered unfolding of all the individual and social forces in life. Even freedom is only a relative, not an absolute concept, since it tends constantly to broaden its scope and to affect wider circles in manifold ways. For the Anarchist, freedom is not an abstract philosophical concept, but the vital concrete possibility for every human being to bring to full development all capacities and talents with which nature has endowed him, and turn them to social account. The less this natural development of man is interfered with by ecclesiastical or political guardianship, the more efficient and harmonious will human personality become, the more will it become the measure of the intellectual culture of the society in which it has grown."
- Rudolf Rocker, "Anarcho-Syndicalism"
"People, be Nice to Each Other, Please. Love, Hallie."
HALLIE GEIER
A grownup is a child with layers on.
-Woody Harrelson
"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it. "
& "The more I see the less I know for sure."
-John Lennon

" So here's the plan. The ides of march are always at hand. And when the power hungry strike, they strike the poorest of man. And if you dare put up a fight, they'll come and fight for your land. And they'll call it liberation or salvation. A call to the youth! Your freedom ain't so free, it's just loose. but the power of your voice could redirect every truth. Shift and shape the world you want and keep your fears in a noose. Let them dangle from a banner star spangled. I'm willing and able. To lift my dreams up out of their cradle. Nurse and nurture my ideals 'til they're much more than a fable. I can be all I can be and do much more than I'm paid to. And I won't be a slave to what authorities say do. My desire is to live within a nation on fire, where creative passions burn and raise the stakes ever higher. Where no person is addicted top some twisted supplier who promotes the sort of freedom sold to the highest buyer. We demand a truth naturally at one with the land, not a plant that photosynthesizes bombs on demand, or a search for any weapons we let fall from our hands. I got beats and a plan. I'm gonna do what I can. And what you do is question everything they say do, every goal ideal or value they keep pushing on you. If they ask you to believe it question whether it's true. If they ask you to achieve, is it for them or for you. You're the one they're asking to go carry a gun. Warfare ain't humanitarian. You're scaring me, son. Why not fight to feed the homeless, jobless, fight inflation?! Why not fight for our own healthcare and our education?! And instead, invest in that erasable lead, 'cause their twisted propaganda can't erase all the dead. And the pile of corpses pyramid on top of our heads. Or nevermind, said the shotgun to the head."
-saul williams
"I heartily accept the motto, 'That government is best which governs least'; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe? 'That government is best which governs not at all'; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have.

" Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."
-Henry David Thoreau

"What's real? What's Not?" "Test how people deal with reality"
-Andy Kaufman

There is no reason to accept the doctrines crafted to sustain power and privilege, or to believe that we are constrained by mysterious and unknown social laws. These are simply decisions made within institutions that are subject to human will and that must face the test of legitimacy. And if they do not meet the test, they can be replaced by other institutions that are more free and more just, as has happened often in the past.
-Noam Chomsky

The more laws and order are made prominent, The more thieves and robbers there will be.
-Lao-tzu, The Way of Lao-tzu
The Sending of the Animals
For animals, you say were "sent"
For man's free use and nutriment.
Pray, then, inform me and be candid,
Why came they aeons before man did,
To spend long centuries, on earth
Awaiting their devourer's birth?
Those ill-timed chattels sent from heaven,
Were, sure, the maddest gift e'er given -
"sent" for man's use (can we believe it?)
When there was no man to receive it!
-Henry Salt
"Let him who is without sin cast the first stone."
&
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." (golden rule)
-Christ

" You assist an evil system most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees. An evil system never deserves such allegiance. Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil. A good person will resist an evil system with his or her whole soul."
-Mahatma Gandhi

"The first man who, having fenced off a plot of land, thought of saying, 'This is mine' and found people simple enough to believe him was the real founder of civil society. How many crimes, wars, murders, how many miseries and horrors might the human race had been spared by the one who, upon pulling up the stakes or filling in the ditch, had shouted to his fellow men: 'Beware of listening to this imposter; you are lost if you forget the fruits of the earth belong to all and that the earth belongs to no one."
-- Jean Jacques Rousseau, Discourse on Inequality, 1755
"You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom."
- Malcolm X

And, by the way, if one day you happen to wake up And find yourself in an existential quandry Full of loathing and self-doubt And wracked with the pain and isolation of your pitiful meaningless existence At least you can take a small bit of comfort in knowing that Somewhere out there in this crazy mixed-up universe of ours There's still a little place called........Albuquerque
-"Weird" Al Yankovic

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
- Martin Luther King Jr.

"The Language of GodDo you know what
Language God speaks?
God speaks Every-Language.
That's because God made
Everyone and Gave
Everyone different Languages.
And God understands all of them.
And do you know what is God's
Favorite Language?
God's favorite language is
Not grown-ups's language,
But the Language of Children.
That's because children
Are special to God.
Children know how to share,
And they never lose
Their Heart-Songs."
-Mattie Stepanek

"Today the large organization is lord and master, and most of its employees have been desensitized much as were the medieval peasants who never knew they were serfs. "
- Ralph Nader
One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken.
-Leo Tolstoy

"Man's task is to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the unconscious. "
- Carl Gustav Jung
By having a reverence for life, we enter into a spiritual relation with the world
By practicing reverence for life we become good, deep, and alive.
A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men, and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help.
-Albert Schweitzer
