In my Journy in Yahoo Answeres I have learned much. Especialy with the algarythom I wrote for a Computr Science project, The results are great. When you are ready to shed the statistically imposable and help bring back the true YA way of being a top contributor with mega points, we follow this path. we will add to this our friends who share this forum for what it was ment to be. Each week for eight weeks I will post a question about The Eightfold Path as it applies to being a true contributor. Hopefully we will grow in numbers and impress shame on the cheaters. Do you want to ?
The Eightfold Path

The Eightfold Path illustrates the moral principles in which all participants should practice. It goes into detail about the basis of all Nirvana teachings: morality, meditation, and wisdom. This is the eightfold path:

1. Right Knowledge
2. Right Thinking
3. Right Speech
4. Right Conduct
5. Right Livelihood
6. Right Effort
7. Right Mindfulness
8. Right Concentration

Following the Noble Eightfold Path helps a person realize that greed and selfishness cause all earthly suffering. With this new understanding, one’s suffering may end. They will no longer feel that to gain points and status is important. But to contribute with all selfish desires aside. Answer true, Post True Thumbs up or down, True voting and person politely.

I am studying Buddhism so give me your opinion or symbol idea(s) and try to keep it simple. This may look complicated, but it is just a lot of writing.
A Symbol For:

1.) Right Resolve (I am thinking a check mark) (making a firm decision to live according to the Eightfold Path)

2.) Right Speech (I am thinking a mouth) (speaking in a manner that doesn’t harm others; not gossiping, lying, or using mean words)

3.) Right Conduct (I am thinking a "C") (Acting in a way that doesn’t harm others; not killing, not stealing, and also not acting selfishly)

4.) Right Livelihood (?) (Earning a living in a way that doesn’t harm others)

5.) Right Effort (?) (Striving to get rid of any evil within oneself)

6.) Right Mindfulness (I am thinking a brain) (Paying attention to responsibilities)

7.) Right Meditation (I am thinking of someone meditating) (Thinking deeply for the answers to problems)

Thank You if you can help!

The Buddha set forth a systematic approach by which dedicated humans could

pull themselves out of suffering and achieve the final goal of liberation. The

Eightfold Path offers ways to burn up all past demerits, avoid accumulating new

demerits, and build up merit for a favorable rebirth. Perfection of the path means

final escape from the cycle of death and rebirth, into the peace of nirvana.

The required conduct and attitudes of the 8-fold path are:

Right understanding of reality

Right thoughts and motives

Right speech

Right action (including avoiding stealing, lying, sexual misconduct and intoxicants)

Right livelihood

Right effort

Right mindfulness

Right meditation

Do these requirements seem hard to you? Unnecessary?

How do they compare with the teachings of your own religion?

So, the Eightfold Path is right seeing, right purpose, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right meditation. So what do they think is "right"? What do they think is "wrong"? And I don’t mean how to gain the eight right path(s) or whatever. I mean, what is "right"?
