Knowing is not enough, WE MUST APPLY. willing is not enough, WE MUST DO.
- Bruce lee, that was foolish because in your words you didn’t realize
that all people desire peace, but only ones at war will actually do. As
for others, they’ll be like you, meditating and selfishly trying to
find their inner peace while leaving the world at war. Thusly, you
didn’t know that ones at war won’t be able to hear your words all the
way from China, willing is not enough, people only will for their own
happiness, thusly they must never be encouraged to complete living in
this way as you are doing. The Prophet Mouhamed said that all actions
are considered by God according to the will of the person. One last
thing, read this carefully, to will is to be follow by actions, this is
what you said, but I say that if you don’t act, that means you don’t
will. Thusly the ones you are advising don’t exist because those who
will eventually do, and those who don’t are not actually willing, they
just cowardly dream.
- The first part of the quote refers to applying knowledge or wisdom, rather than simply learning it without action.
Those that believe war brings peace obviously have not acquired nor
applied the knowledge of peace. You cannot extinguish a fire with more
fire, therefore war will never bring peace, it is an instrument that
serves to cause fear in those that oppose the ones in power, and as a
way to control the opposing nation by forcing them into debt by
financing their reconstruction in the aftermath.
There is nothing selfish about seeking inner peace, if everybody
became responsible for their own thoughts and actions and inner peace,
then there would be no war. Most that seek inner peace also seek peace
for their fellow man and woman. People also pray for the happiness of
others, not everyone wills or prays for themselves alone.
The aspect of willing that I believe Bruce was referring to was
“intention”. Someone can be willing for a change, meaning they have the
intention, but not all people follow through on their intentions with
action. A person could also be willing to go to peace, but place
conditions upon it, rather than simply “being at peace” by acting
peacefully. Most nations in a conflict will for peace, but place
conditions upon it, and they retalliate when the other attacks, rather
than remain in peace.
People should be free to dream without being labelled cowardly. If
everyone dreamt the same dream then eventually that dream would become
reality when the collective thoughts of the people with that dream gain
enough mass to manifest into action. Dreams give people hope, and hope
should not be belittled.
If you can provide a more articulate quote, then I would be glad to consider it.
