In that case, there's only one Luminary by your definition.

That's misleading and not "my definition"

Clearly by any definition
"The Luminary commonly referred to as the Moon"
nevertheless is well documented as
"A Luminary that illuminates by reflecting the light of the Sun" :smile:
Moon is a Luminary aka a light
SOLELY because MOON REFLECTS SUNLIGHT :smile:
ergo
obviously, Moon sends more light to planet Earth
because
MOON IS CLOSER TO PLANET EARTH
than the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn
which ALSO send their REFLECTED sunlight from the sun

i.e.

The Moon, like the Sun, is a Luminary.

Moon is a Luminary ONLY BECAUSE MOON reflects sunlight
david starling said:
Both Moon and Sun are obviously Yang,
since they both send so much light.

Siriusly false premise :smile:
Moon REFLECTS light of the Sun - has no light otherwise
It's Sun that "sends out so much light"
so as a consequence Moon as well as Mercury
and Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn are all visible
david starling said:
It's still a Luminary, sending more light than the Planets,
regardless of whether or not it's reflected.

Moon IS a luinary aka a light
and it sends only reflected sunlight
as do the seven visible planets

Violence and non-violence are not principally decided
(categorised as such)
by the appearance of the action, they are decided by the intention
from which the action is initiated or comes out.
Violence generally means harming any other sentient being.

If we cause harm, injury,
pain, unhappiness, to any other person, that is violence.
But that kind of act will become violence in reality
when you have the intention of hurting the other.
Otherwise if you have a compassionate mind
and want to help or save the other, sometimes causing pain
and causing unhappiness may not be in the category of violence.
For example, doctors amputate your body parts, cut them by knife
or some instrument, and that is very painful
unless you are anaesthetised.
But the intention would be to save the patient’s life.
On the face of it, it is causing pain, but
in reality it is for saving their life.
That is not violence.

Marilyn’s beauty was transient, as is all beauty, this is true. But Marilyn Monroe’s essence was eternal and shined through onto her beauty, enhancing it further into an eternal lake of wow ness.

So true and she was very modern. You could pick her up in the 50’s and put her in 2019 and you would not be able to tell she was Tom the 50’s etc. She looked like the future!

I like Marilyn for more than her beauty, she’s a symbol of abused and suppressed women to this day! But, she was also fit and we are on earth so no point denying the animal inside of us, eh Jup?
