Re: What is success?!
well... i am sorry to have caused such a debate! my intention was to make a
point about doing good things just for the privilege of having the chance to
do them. those of you who understood, appreciated it and that makes it worth
while.
i too appreciate the facts on the matter but as previously stated the moral
of the story stands and has been proven true throughout world history. the
message is True... if i had changed the names to Tom, Dick, Harry, and Simon
the story might have been factual but would not have made the impact.
the question here is are you going to look for truth or Truth?! there are
many true statements that contain no Truth. i agree that ideally you want
both but i insist that Truth is more important than truth!!
now, i do not want to get into a battle here but why do you think that there
are 24000 different ways of believing in a man that told all of us to be
civilized and not kill one another? the different sects of Christianity are
a prime example of nit-picking the facts until you miss the Truth before
you.
your brother in arms,
shahab...
