Gedagte van die dag

[Sanderis]

Die belangrikste vrae , is soms die vrae wat nie gevra word nie ( en/of die antwoorde wat nie aangebied word nie ) .

[Sanderis]

Die golwende veld is ons woning,
En ons dak is die hemelblou;
Die vrijheid alleen is ons koning,
Sy wagwoord is: "Handhaaf en bou"
Die stryd wat ons vaders begin het,
Sal woed tot ons sterf of gewin het,
Dit is die eed van Jong Suid-Afrika.

Dankie aan Leon Peacock wat dit op ons Facebook groep geplaas het : http://www.facebook.com/groups/2532206120/?view=permalink&id=10150290383011121

So bietjie ingels voor Desember hier is :

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." — Marilyn Monroe

[Sanderis]

Nog een :

If they don't know how to value you,
let them go.
It's much better to lose them
than to look stupid being with them.

Sanderis, jy het met sowat 'n uur en 'n half Afrikaansmaand se boete vrygespring!

[Sanderis]

'n Uur en 'n half kan soos 'n splitsekonde verby vlieg ; of 'n ewigheid duur . Dit hang af wat jy as persoon daarvan maak .

Daar is sommer ook die gedagte van die dag .

[Sanderis]

Jy kan nie die wind keer om te waai nie maar wel die seile verstel !

Wisdom of the Elders

There is an ancient Indian saying that something lives only as long as the last person who remembers it. My people have come to trust memory over history. Memory, like fire, is radiant and immutable while history serves only those who seek to control it, those who douse the flame of memory in order to put out the dangerous fire of truth. Beware these men for they are dangerous themselves and unwise. Their false history is written in the blood of those who might remember and of those who seek the truth. ~Floyd 'Red Crow' Westerman
Wisdom of the Elders!

Dit laat my dink aan die ANK wat tans die name wil verander om die Geskiedenis te probeer herskryf en toekomstige geslagte blind te maak vir dít wat werklik was .

Salomo met al sy wysheid was toe nie baie slim nie:

1Kn 11:1-2
(1)  En koning Salomo het baie uitlandse vroue liefgehad; en wel behalwe die dogter van Farao, Moabitiese, Ammonitiese, Edomitiese, Sidoniese, Hetitiese—
(2)  uit die nasies waarvan die HERE aan die kinders van Israel gesê het: Julle mag nie met hulle meng nie, en hulle mag nie met julle meng nie; hulle sal voorwaar julle hart verlei agter hulle gode aan—Salomo het hulle met liefde aangehang.

Ek vermoed hy was 'n liberalis.

[Kleinbekkie]

Ek vra om verskoning vir die Ingels, ek het dit op bakkiesblad raakgeloop.



Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From … GOD …

Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

P.S.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?

Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.

By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.
