boredguy Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Well technically this isnt poetry, neither is it mine. i heard it in philosophy class the other day, and found it immensely interestin, it jus made thoughts fly through my head. jus wonderin what u pplz thoughts were on it. Do not risk what you have by desiring more, but remember that what you have now is what you once desired. waddaya think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prosper Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Hi Pal, That is a beautiful quote. I think everybody should reflect on their level of contentment in life, coz it is very true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what if you have what you have now because you once took a risk to obtain it? Anyhow, I like it too but it can be read in a less inspiring way. There's always 2 sides to everything.

boredguy Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 i guess the question can be raised that 'is the risk worth it?' rite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosper Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Hi Supreme99 I dun think the author means we should not risk for what we want. We can have good things as well as bad things for efforts we put in to risk. But there is a sign of 'u should be contented for what u desire', coz at least it is what u had pursued before. Dun u cherish things u had gotten, esp those in a hard way? Yes. Boredguy, u are right. Coz desiring for more things, example luxurious products, ur risk is higher, u may end up losing those u had wanted and is now in the control of ur hands. And neither lest if u noe the bad shape u are in, is coz of what u had over-risked before, then of coz, u learned to lessen ur risk, by appreciating ur lesson u had obtained, and now discover a new way to know what u want and can gotten, and what u cant balance if there is too much. And of coz, life is a learning process, thats what philosophy is always engaged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boredguy Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 lol thi is just what i wanted. its relly interesting to see so many different opinions on just a few words. i think that the quote is very self contradictory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boredguy Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 well to tell u the truth...im not sure...ill ask the person who put it up though...i should really pay more attention in class....especcially chemistry teacher: "what is the number of electrons in the second p orbital?" me: "uh...yes!" 8) weak...io knw....lolz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If guessed correctly, the player wins 1 dollar, and the player can continue and wager double, or leave with his standings. If guessed incorrectly, the player loses everything. To progess, an initial risk must be made. Following that, the rest is up to the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
From_Now_On Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Quote: Do not risk what you have by desiring more, but remember that what you have now is what you once desired. My personal take on the quoteis that it refers to a person. Do not risk what you have (him/her) by desiring more (someone else), but (instead) remember that what you have now (current 'love') is what you once desired (someone who loves you). That's my personal take, like I said, but I can also see many other meaning it could be seen as. But that's the cool thing about words and language. Anyway, interesting post. Thanks. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
