The Questy site was revived last year. Now the Tao of Questy Blog is reborn here as well.
 
Reflections of the meaning of life and other rants will be covered here. In the broader sense, the Tao of Questy will reflect on philosophical matters as well as the world of entertainment. 

A few older posts were moved over to the new blog.  Some of the old posts will be revisted for the new blog, and a few of the older posts will become actual topic pages.  There are also a few pages of writings from the old Questy sites that will make their way to the new Tao of  Questy site.

We will also use the the Tao of Questy blog to promote the websites such as Philsophyguru where we concentrate on music and movies.  We also hope to find the time to bring our American Philosopher site back to life, as well as launch something new. 

Stay tuned!

Thought for today... 

The laws of human nature, love and compassion, do not always mesh well with the rules and policies of institutions. Let us not forget what it is to be human.

Why do so many "news" stories focus on the people speaking, rather than what they are saying?

Why do we introduce individuals as the Democrat from Pennsylvania, or the Republican from Texas?  Why not just Senator?  Or Congressman?

Why does our culture, or more specifically, our system of media, cause us to focus more on stereotypes than issues?

Think about it, and think about it from your personal perspective, as that will influence your own reaction, do you start with a bias when the sentence starts out with...

The right wing group is...

The Democrats are stating that...

The Tea Party members are...

According the Democrat from Pennsylvania...

In statements made by the Republican from Texas...

Be honest.  Do you start to create the story in your mind by who is doing it, before you even hear what they are doing?

The Political bickering solves nothing and is getting old.

 

If I say I believe in conservative politics, the first question I get asked, where is your Bible and your gun?

I don't own a gun, and I read the Tao Te Ching for inspiration.  That's not to say I am not Christian, just that I don't fit the stereotype. I often read the websites of the Pope as well as the Dalai Lama.

I have learned from writing on the web that my perceptions of what is relevant is biased by being an American, and living in the USA. Thanks to the global nature of the web I learn of other perspectives different from my own.

Follow me here on this blog,The Tao of Questy, as well as the Questy page on Facebook as I explore the philosophical side of life, and can't help myself to shake in a bit of technology from time to time.

Technology is a tool, nothing more. 

Dispel the myths. and please try to keep in all in perspective.

We don't need more technology, we need more common sense.

Peace!  Write On!

As someone who writes for online publications I often read similar articles to mine to gain insights to various points of view.

Some of the crap I have read clear show that the authors had absolutely no idea what the topic was about.

Please take a moment to read my complete spin on the topic from SmartTechnology.info.

Because of the way search engines work, it will probably not be one of my most viewed articles. But in terms of a message I wish I could hand deliver to everyone I meet. It is an article that I will continue to promote and talk about from time to time.

One of my favorite sayings in life is the often quoted line from Spiderman, "With great power comes great responsibility."

The internet gives everyone great power to communicate, and share ideas.

We all have the responsibility to use it wisely.  If you don't have first hand experience on a topic, don't act like you do.

Please be careful when you give advice, you never know when the person you are talking to will use your advice to make an important decision.

And please, don't ever forget, talk is cheap, wisdom is priceless.
