I am confused with virtue and vice, through one act, one party says it is virtuous while others say it bad. Is there a perfect virtue?
The blind can not understand and experience the light, no matter how much explanation is given. You will not be able to see perfect apples with imperfect eyes. You can not feel perfect true love with feelings of imperfect thoughts. If you can see, and your vision is perfect, your sense is perfect, you will not ask and that understanding must come by itself.
At least, explain the difference between the two.
That difference is blindness, an unconsciousness.
So, I must free myself from the trap of the mind, is that really the way?
As long as you talk about ways, you will never be free.
Then how can I be free?
As long as you are with your body and mind, never will.
All right, I surrender.
That is good. I’ve given up long ago.
You give up? To whom? The Divine?
Just give up, unconditionally. Just give up but not to the Divine. For if I just give up only to the Divine, then I also acknowledge that there are others who are not divine, and that means I have denied the Oneness of The Divine.
All right, I believe.
As well as I am. Believe answered all questions. End the search. But what kind of belief? For only beliefs that are born out of the womb of doubt and distrust that are useful, others don’t.

I have long argued that people see what they want to see (hear what they want to hear and so on). You’ve presented another view of that argument, it resonates well. The image is simply beyond words.
You have captured more than the words Albert you have captured a moment!
I am honored with your appreciation, Coach. Humans are just like you say about seeing and hearing. We also find it difficult to accept another “unreasonable” reality with a very limited mind, and that is the limit of our wisdom and consciousness.
An amazing post as always! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you for your support, Courtney
Amazing post, Albert. Both inspiring and motivating! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your appreciation, Jerry.
Amazing post as always
Wow! What a great compliment! Thank you so much, LaJenna
To each his own! Just hold on to what you believe, keep doing good and set everything else free. The blind might not see or experience the light, but if the person leading the blind and describe in good details, the mind can still see and experiencing it!
Thanks for your argument, Icy

Great post
Thank you very much, Pamela
A lot of what people think is perfect is an illusion. We just have to have faith and do our best on a daily basis.
I agree with you, besides what if we look in reverse, since the first till now everything is perfect, there is right and wrong, left and right, and is not it imperfect if there are only men without women?
Superb art work and post.
I am honored by your compliment, my friend.
My pleasure.
A very good post. Thanks for sharing!
Your appreciation makes me healthy, fresh and fit. Thanks a lot, my friend.
cute artwork.
Thank you very much, Fifi
Lovely Albert!
Hello Andrew, how are you? Thank you very much for your appreciation, my friend
The difference between vice & virtue is that one is easy while the other is hard…
Yeah! That’s my brother!
I’ve also heard it said that where there’s no temptation, there is no virtue…
…and your own opinion is…
I agree. You can’t be said to resist the temptation of something you don’t want in the first place…
cute
Thank you for your cute comment, Noelia

Very interesting friend, but it’s not the most understandable to me
I enjoy your sincerity, kindness and generosity, Lado. I really appreciate it and feel honored!
It is a great pleasure for Albert
You are an amazing friend, Lado.
I always like to look at your blogs and chat with you a little, my friend
I do likewise vice versa, (although sometimes a bit late visiting your post!) My friend.
A nice and nice wekend friend
Hopefully you too, My friend. Best wishes
That was so unique. Like reading a short story.
Thank you very much, Sharon
I love the picture, but I disagree with your philosophy. I do believe in absolutes and that some things are not divine. I believe opening fire on helpless concert goers is evil. I believe sharing your food with those who don’t have any is good. I believe there is a God who cared enough about us, who are made in his image, to reveal himself to us by coming to walk among us and teach us how to be good and to be reconciled to him when we can’t be good enough.
Thank you for your appreciation to my drawing, and thank you for saying freely the different philosophy you are referring to, Barbara.
I believe and am convinced that good will win. There will be light in the long tunnel.
That’s for sure, Elenka. Thank you very much
So deep philosophical reflections, so I plunged into a different reality for a few minutes. It’s very heartfelt, thank you very much for this publication!
Thank you for your sincere appreciation, Anastasia
We all need something to believe in. Still searching.
Totally agree! Thank you Carol
I agree with you, Carol. Thank you.
