[MD] good knowledge and realistic life models

[Kevin Perez]

Good morning.
 
A close friend reminds me often that Mother Theresa would always
decline invitations to participate in anti-war, anti-abortion and other
"anti" demonstrations.  But she would do her best to schedule time for
peace, pro-life and other activities that take a positive, I would say
"betterness," approach.
 
It's been my experience too that my attitude, my predispositions, my
"emotional programs for happiness" and my approach to life have the
greatest affect on the life I live.  I get what I give.
 
Ron Kulp began this thread with the following quote.
 
     "The experiences of eminent thinkers have taught us that there is no 
     benefit in ideas that, divorced from reality, are useless like foam
     floating on water or suspended in the air; after such thinkers have
     expended the necessary effort and become certain of the usefulness
     of their experiences, they transform them into practical systems of
     life and tangible concepts, so that they may reach their desired
     goals. There is no good in knowledge that does not gather people
     around it and does not offer a concrete, realistic life model. When
     this is not the case, ideas are elitist, drawing only a limited group,
     or they are merely playthings." 
 
     -Prof. Dr. 'IRFAN 'ABD AL-HAMID FATTAH
 
Thanks Ron for sharing this most excellent thought.  It demands
repeating.
