Quotes About Direction

Awakening is the purpose that enfolds all purposes. Whatever we do is meaningful to the extent that it leads to awakening, meaningless to the extent that it leads away from it.

No podemos elegir de donde venimos pero si hacia donde vamos

No podemos elegir de dónde venimos, pero sí hacia dónde vamos

Mais même si on ne peut pas choisir d'où on vient, à partir de là, on peut quand même choisir où on veut aller.

Even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can choose where we can go from there.

Supongo que eres quien eres por un montón de razones y quizás nunca conozcamos muchas de ellas pero incluso si no tenemos el poder de elegir de donde venimos, podemos elegir adonde vamos.

acho que somos quem somos por várias razões. E talvez nunca conheçamos a maior parte delas. Mas mesmo que não tenhamos o poder de escolher quem vamos ser, ainda podemos escolher aonde iremos a partir daqui.

What Frost makes clear in his poem is that the act of choosing is the most important thing. The act of moving forward is what matters. He might have chosen either teaching or poetry. But he had to choose one or the other. He looked long down each path. He understood the loss involved—the cutting off of possibilities. He saw clearly that options once discarded are usually gone forever. Way leads on to way. But Krishsna writes: Concerning one's dharma, one should not vacillate!

But the hardest task in any writing is to present the truth so it can be seen as true. One cannot just give the history of an event in a straightforward manner and expect it to be believed. That history must have a shape. It must have direction and movement.

Is that where it all went wrong? Or is it where it all went right?

The increase of disorder or entropy is what distinguishes the past from the future, giving a direction to time.

Or in other words, why does disorder increase in the same direction of time as that in which the universe expands?

Disorder increases with time because we measure time in the direction in which disorder increases.

There is no God. No-one directs the universe.

There are at least three different arrows of time. First, there is the thermodynamic arrow of time, the direction of time in which disorder or entropy increases. Then, there is the psychological arrow of time. This is the direction in which we feel time passes, the direction in which we remember the past but not the future. Finally, there is the cosmological arrow of time. This is the direction of time in which the universe is expanding rather than contracting.

Our subjective sense of the direction of time, the psychological arrow of time, is therefore determined within our brain by the thermodynamic arrow of time. Just like a computer, we must remember things in the order in which entropy increases. This makes the second law of thermodynamics almost trivial. Disorder increases with time because we measure time in the direction in which disorder increases. You can't have a safer bet than that!

For every event in space-time we may construct a light cone (the set of all possible paths of light in space-time emitted at that event), and since the speed of light is the same at every event and in every direction, all the light cones will be identical and will all point in the same direction.

Le désordre augmente avec le temps parce que nous mesurons le temps dans la direction où le désordre augmente. Qui dit mieux ?

Instead of following your heart, you are choosing to lead to lead it. The world says to follow your heart, but if you are not it, then someone or something else is.

When you're twenty-one, life is a roadmap. It's only when you get to be twenty-five or so that you begin to suspect that you've been looking at the map upside down, and not until you're forty are you entirely sure. By the time you're sixty, take it from me, you're fucking lost.

Get busy living or get busy dying.....there ain't nothing inbetween

They walked back into the world together, wearing the gift that had been given them: just life. Pity was not love, Barbie reflected...but if you were a child, giving clothes to someone who was naked had to be a step in the right direction.

It's like many other things in life, Ellie. You keep on the path and all's well. You get off it and the next thing you know you're lost if you're not lucky.
