How are you defined (to define means to set the limits or boundaries of something)? Do you define yourself or do yo let other do it for you? What is the interplay between these two elements?"

You are defined by your actions and beliefs, but how you define yourself may differ from how others will, because of their difference in beliefs.  I let others define me as they wish, but for me the way I am defined is of no importance, because to worry about it, is to say your worrying about what people think of you, you should be as you want, not as how people percieve you. To be defined is different than defining. To be defined is the way others see you, but to define is the way you see others or yourself.  (I hope this helps but, it probably doesn't)

when you put yourself in a box you are excluding yourself from everything inside the box, meaning you don’t put yourself out there, you don’t take any risk, if you see any danger you stay away from it. It’s a defensive thingy. but on the other hand you never get hurt. you kinda know what you want \n\nLiving on the edge means you take everything to its limit without going over. you take the risk, if you seen something danger you get as close as you can. but living this way you its easy to fall over the edge taking risk that are too risky and loss it, and getting hurt emotional and physically  \n\nme personally I like to think i put myself in a open field where everything finds me. where i take a risk when it finds me, and danger is always knocking at my door. so Yeah \n\nliving in a box and living on the edge both has its advantage and disadvantage

They say it's a fine line between the two. I think sanity is defined by society, or other people in our circle, as acting according to a norm. Insanity is deviating extremely from the norm. We may all be judged by our peers as sane or acting insane, but ultimately it is a medical (psychiatric) judgment of insanity that qualifies someone as insane. And for some, insanity can come and go quite quickly, making even that individual wonder at his own sanity.

to understand the quote you might need to see the whole thing:\n"[F]reedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much. That would be a mere shadow of freedom. The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order."\n\nI think it means that you have the freedom to be different about things that matter to you the most or something I really don't know haha but there's the whole quote maybe that will help

What is bisexuality?\n\nBisexuality means sexual or romantic attraction or behavior directed towards some members of more than one sex.\n\nWhat is "a bisexual"?\n\nA strict definition of a bisexual would be someone who has romantic and/or sexual relations with other people of more than one sex (though not necessarily at the same time)\n\n\n*I would say that you are bisexuality!

"And ye harm none, do what ye will"\n\nIt's basically the Golden Rule in different packaging.\n\nAnd don't forget, "harm none" also means don't harm yourself!  Putting yourself at risk of harm is as much a violation of the rede as putting someone else at risk.\n\nBlessed be.

There is no fixed definition. Sometimes it means what some politician wants it to mean. Here's a few good discussions on the subject.

Alan Watts wrote that to define oneself by a particular religion is to commit spiritual suicide.  Getting locked into a faith as defined by others who say you must believe such and such does very little to expand one's spirit.\n\nI believe that reading and exploring and gaining an understanding of what others believe is beneficial in beginning to find our own spiritual center.  You are doing a good job of questioning.  Don't ever stop.  I am 56 and I am still sorting through my beliefs and have come to the conclusion that I will probably do so until the day I die.  Spirituality is a very personal journey.\n\nIf I was pushed to identify myself by religion/belief I would have to say Taoist however, I feel that once I label myself that I limit my growth.  Once one uses that label Christian, then one limits one's spiritual exploration to christian texts, the same with muslim, buddhist or the striped sock gang.  By remaining open to all ideas I think we have a greater chance of working together on this planet and possibly resolving our differences once and for all

Simply put, to make a difference in someones life, including your own. \n\nWe have choices...to sacrifice or not? Love or not? Positive or negative input? Living alive or walking dead? Sharing your whole self or die dishing out pieces of you? The choices are endless...\n\nBe blessed in your choosing.

The place we call 'space' is very much 'infinite'? To understand it can't be done. Logically and or by dictionary terms it means boundless, endless or very great. Their are many ways to describe the word infinite because the word holds a question of uncertainty. So people try to answer the best they can because really, deep down we don't know the true answer. And all things not labled, catargorized or can easily be explained is scary and is alien to us. The unkown is a scary place for most. Whats after infinite? How can something possibly go on and on with no end. I was once told "Their are new things that are being discovered every day because we as humans where meant to discover them, but then there are things that are so big and boundless that are mind can't even comprehend and thats because the answer lies with god and we will never know. You will drive your self crazy trying to understand the true concept of infinite. But remember this, the most intelligent scientists in the world can only answer your question with a text book answer with a scientific veiw point and still not answer your question completly.\n\nTo answer your second question. God can't be explained you have to discover him for your self and only then will you be able to discribe him. He is so unique that one word can't possibly sum him up. You would need the worlds dictionarys and pick out all the best words that are good and then create another million before you even get close. The true answer to your question lies with you in your heart. Good luck and god bless.

I think it refers to u not being greedy or being to attached to physical things. For example a person might be in need or just hint that he/she likes something of yours. If your greedy you might not even want to talk about the subject cause you already know where it's headed. If your attached you might be willing to give that person something else. If your a giving person you'll be able to weigh out the other persons necessity or interest in the object over yours. Giving full hearted, can bring you peace, love, joy and no regrets. But that's only if you do it full heartily. All & all i think the quote is a religious quote, and basically means you cant keep any earthly matter. If u can give willingly then its probably because you've realized that there is someone or something greater than you. If you ask me the most valuable thing anyone can give is their time. What u gain from giving what u cant keep, I think is a lifetime of peace, loves, & laughs, and at the end of it all an eternal life of happiness.

It means giving up control of the person - on purpose because you meant to and letting the other person say what will happen to the person.  You're out of it and you want to be and they want you to be.

"Be did?" This is interesting. Wish I could understand what it means.

How about this, as a point to life: The point is to create more like-minded individuals. That is the meaning. This can be universally agreed upon by varying religions, skeptics, political affiliations, capitalists, socialists, races, etc. Those categories of description, the ways we identify ourselves- they give us the "end-game" of what we believe finally. What you subscribe to, defines meaning.

Dimension are ways you can define things. \nThe ones that we can measure are width, length, height and times. For example a box 5*5*5 in width length and height was there at a specific time. \nThe other dimensions that exist are incomprehensible to us but Physicist still use them in calculations.
