To believe in assertions

THE LORD BUDDHA HAS SAIDthat we must not believe in a thing said merely because it is said ; nor traditions because they have been handed down from antiquity ; nor rumors, as such ; nor writings by sages, because sages wrote them : nor fancies that we may suspect to have been inspired in us by a Deva (that is, in presumed spiritual inspiration) ; nor from inferences drawn from some haphazard assumption we may have made ;nor because of what seems an analogical necessity ; nor on the mere authority of our teachers or masters. But we are to believe when the writing, doctrine, or saying is corroborated by our own reason and consciousness. "For this," says he in concluding, " I taught you not to believe merely because you have heard,but when you believed of your consciousness, then to act accordingly and abundantly."(Secret Doctrine, Vol.III,page 401.)

"It means the same here and we’re trying to end it. Yes of course it’s stressful but I think that we should support each other and be loyal to the crew, ‘experts’ are not required.. I just want us to be a team, I don’t want conflict.."

"'It never ends'-means, over here, in general, the nonsense, the bs, never ends-of course I want a positive outcome-can't stand to see the pics of the children among the rubble-horrible. Israelis getting killed-the people always get destroyed."

"When you said it never ends, it seems like you didn’t have faith in the work we have been doing surrounding the Israel-Gaza conflict and I expected better from you… We want a good outcome don’t we?"
