Do Eastern society have good standard and values? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?

The Confucian, Taoist, Buddhist, and Hindu traditions all emphasize what is called in Japanese ';shugyo';--';self-cultivation.';





This is similar to Abraham Maslow's ';self-actualization,'; with the capstone being various spiritual insight teachings--essentially Maslow's final formulation, ';Theory Z.';





Thus, there is traditional Western materialism--what Kierkegaard termed the ';Aesthetic sphere,'; equivalent to Maslow's need-hierarchy and Sartre's existentialism. This leads to egoism, which the aforementioned traditions deplore (in Mahayana Buddhism, egoism as subject-object dualism is termed vijnana, and is to be succeeded by prajna, the wisdom of non-duality).





This non-duality or de-emphasis on ';egoism'; is the basis of Buddhism, Taoism, Shintoism, Hinduism, and Confucianism.





What Kierkegaard termed the ';Ethical sphere,'; or that sphere which develops upon reflection and selection of what is important in the Aesthetic nowness historical experience, is the basis for both the Eastern ethicism and Maslowian social esteem.





Kierkegaard's summary sphere, the ';Religious'; or ';Spiritual,'; is the realization of the numinous in the Aesthetic and Ethical. This is bodhicitta, or enlightenment, in the Eastern wisdom teachings, what Bergson termed elan vital, and William James identified as the living stream of being undergirding awareness.





Shan-tao, a 7th century Chinese master of the process, described it in a parable: there is a river, with two currents divided by a thin white line, over which line one must cross, from the illusions and dangers of this impure existence. Lord Gautama urges us to move across the river on this line of Dharma to the Pure Land where Amida Buddha beckons as Immeasurable Light and Life.





The two currents, one on either side of the white line, are anger as fire, and greed as water: in fine, with the worldly illusions and dangers, constituting what Shan-tao called ';three kinds of imminent death.';





This understanding parallels Jesus' teaching that those who keep the Word of Life do not see death, and that those who seek to save their mortal existence lose it. Paul's ';I die [ascend] daily'; and Mohammad's ';Die before you die'; import the same understanding.





On the negative side, typical Eastern lassitude and fatalism, false hierarchical dictatorships by darker leadership, are a result of the lack of what in the West is termed ';enlightened self-interest,'; the ';individuality'; of the pioneer, the small property owners at England's Magna Carta, etc.





Thus, the true practice of ';self-cultivation,'; whether Kierkegaardian, Maslowian, or Confucian, and so forth, correctly finds Presence--even as ';neti, neti,'; or mastery of Voidness--to be how individuals best contribute to an orderly, ethical society, even a Hobbesian rational morality type of society.





';The Path of the Higher Self,'; Mark Prophet, is an excellent teaching example of such ';enlightened self-interest.';Do Eastern society have good standard and values? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
1) Eastern Societies worship the aged, in order to gain Wisdom.





2) Western Societies worship youth, in order to remain vibrant and alive.





3) Eastern Socities worship the aged, at the cost of not recognizing the strengths of its youth.





4) Western Socities worship youth, at the cost of not recognizing the strengths of the aged.





5) If ever we were to integrate the two-dividing-paradigms of our world { Youth versus Aged } then we realize that both sets of weaknesses and strengths, at least, in capacity are allready within us ready to be tapped into.





-advice-





A) Remind Children to respect their Elders without necesarrily obeying them!





B) Remind our Elders, that it is through Naive-hopes{such as mine} that the world has changed in the history of old for the better, and we shouldn't stifle the youth in their attempts for a better tomorrow, and to intervene only when harm to self or others is likely.Do Eastern society have good standard and values? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
remember, these are generalizations.





Eastern societies often emphasize unity, hard work, group work, modesty, pride, etc... (on the other hand, Western societies emphasize individuality, self-reward, etc...) Obviously, Eastern culture, just like every other culture, has its pluses and minuses. This culture puts great importance on communal activities, forcing its people to work together for a cause. Of course, this is a plus. Though, many times people of Eastern culture lack self-confidence and a sense of individual identity. They may put their own desires to the side to satisfy those around them. On the other hand, this kind of structured society pushes its people to perform to their highest ability. (eastern countries pretty much kill western ones in academic testing, especially at the secondary school level) It emphasizes tolerance, and public modesty.





Personally, I believe that everything comes out to a perfect balance, or a zero. Everything has its good assets, but also an equal amount of bad ones.

Building a data base from anonymous people who might even be complete failures in relationships





LOL





That's a good one LOL





My advice however (and yeah I might even be a wife beater for all you know)





is to deal with your partner as you would the most important business associate in your life because, quite simply, that is what they are or should be.





The conversations I have with my wife are very formal and extremely polite.





We've noticed it veering into more and more formality with the passing of years to the point that if you were to over hear us talking the last thing you would guess is that we're married.





I talk to my wife as I would to a judge who has the power to put me away for life.
always make her feel special. dont just do it in the start of the relationship and then stop once you get her. i am a 35 year old female
Respect yourself and the person you are choosing to be with!

Can you advice me on electric guitar?

Well I finally have decided to try to play an electric guitar however I had never play an electric one before, I just played acoustic, so what would be a good guitar for beginners, what kind of amp? any pedals? or do you know any webpage that can educate me?Can you advice me on electric guitar?
when i first started to play electric guitar my brother gave me an epiphone les paul, this was a very decent guitar for the money, $160 with 10watt amp, gig bag, and other accessories, for the money i think that this is the best deal out there. This guitar is great for beginners, however you will more than likely want to upgrade in a few years seeing as the amp is very small and the pickups tend to have a washed out sound the louder you play it. i have played other bundle package beginner guitars and they are not very good. As for Epiphone guitars in general i am very pleased with them they are quality guitars but are much cheaper than say their counter part Gibsons, seeing as epiphone is a division of gibsion. I have owned two of their guitars and am very satisfied with them both.

Do you advice a lady to shave also their face?

If so, why?Do you advice a lady to shave also their face?
noway !!


shaving ladies face will make the hair grow back thicker and darker and in the long term it will look like a man's beard..





best way is threading or waxing or at least bleachingDo you advice a lady to shave also their face?
I would advise they get some hair remover for their face that is cream instead of shaving it makes stubble it is a embarrassing situation
waxing or cream hair removal systems work best and i agree stubble is embarassing for women. Id advise AGAINST shaving, but yea they should remove upper lip hair
If you want to grow a beard and make your hair follicles produce coarse hairs the yes go for it!.
No way, you will look like a man and have a 5 oclock shadow after a while. Wax it or bleach it. good luck
nope

Looking for advice from those of you whose income varies by season?

My husband is getting moved from motorcyle parts to motorcycle sales which is great for the higher earning potential, but I also understand the earning is very high in the summer, and very low in the winter. I don't want to make the mistake of not saving enough to get through the winter.





What percentage of his summer income should we tuck away into savings to get us comfortably through the winter?





I know this will be easy to calculate after he works in sales for a full year, but right now we just have to make our best guess.Looking for advice from those of you whose income varies by season?
You can't make a 'best guess' without knowing, but you can make a conservative estimate.





Put 50% of your summer money away to live on during the winter. I know that sounds like a lot, but next year, you'll have a better idea of what you'll need to save.Looking for advice from those of you whose income varies by season?
I'd save close to 100% of his ';raise'; until you get a better grip on what his income might look like during the cold months.





In other words, if he was making $3,500 a month and with the new job he brings in a nice $5,500 commission check, then I'd put $2,000 aside that month. I would very much recommend keeping a separate bank account to ';sweep'; the commission checks into.
