DWQA Questions › Tag: Eric HofferFilter:AllOpenResolvedClosedUnansweredSort byViewsAnswersVotesThis show’s questions are inspired by the writings of America’s Longshoreman Philosopher, Eric Hoffer, whose book, The True Believer, is considered a literary classic. Hoffer wrote this intriguing passage on nature and compassion: “Nature has no compassion. It is, in the words of William Blake, ‘a creation that groans, living on death; where the fish and bird and beast and tree and metal and stone live by devouring.’ Nature accepts no excuses, and the only punishment it knows is death.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs189 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote the following: “The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from their sense of impotence. They hate not wickedness but weakness. When it is in their power to do so, the weak destroy weakness whenever they find it. Woe to the weak when they are preyed upon by the weak! The self-hatred of the weak is likewise an instance of their hatred of weakness.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs193 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “When we are conscious of our worthlessness, we naturally expect others to be finer and better than we are. If then we discover any similarity between them and us, we see it as irrefutable evidence of their worthlessness and inferiority. It is thus that with some people familiarity breeds contempt.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs181 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “We associate brittleness and vulnerability with those we love, while we endow those we hate with strength and indestructibility.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs185 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “Patience is a by-product of growth – we can bide our time when it is time for our growth. There is no patience in acquisition or in the pursuit of power and fame. Nothing is so impatient as the pursuit of a substitute for growth.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs198 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “There are many who find a good alibi far more attractive than an achievement. For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day: we have to prove we are as good today as we were yesterday. But when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life. Moreover, when we have an alibi for not writing a book, painting a picture, and so on, we have an alibi for not writing the greatest book and not painting the greatest picture. Small wonder that the effort expended and the punishment endured in obtaining a good alibi often exceed the effort and grief requisite for the attainment of a most marked achievement.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs182 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “The impulse of power is to turn every variable into a constant.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs218 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “It is clear that a society in the grip of fear, is not free no matter how numerous the freedoms its constitution guarantees. There are already many people in this country (America) who would surrender certain of their civil rights for a feeling of personal security.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs202 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “There is perhaps no better way of measuring the natural endowment of a soul, than by its ability to transmute dissatisfaction into a creative impulse. The genuine artist is as much dissatisfied as the revolutionary. Yet how diametrically opposed are the products each distills from his dissatisfaction.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs188 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “The genuine creator creates something that has a life of its own, something that can exist and function without him … With the noncreative it is the other way around: in whatever they do, they arrange things so that they themselves become indispensable.” How can Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol help to transform us into “genuine creators” rather than fearful controllers?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs187 views0 answers0 votes
