    Been a While - A few Questions

    I'll say this much ... for about 4 to 6 years I was the exact same way ... Not knowing if I'd make it home, so everyday I left my home I just anticipated not coming back. 4 to 6 years I lived like I was dying, but at the same time it was a most miserable time of my life. I guess it took that...

    Been a While - A few Questions

    Purpose or plan for what? Life? To live I would assume. The question is what is most beneficial to life in general or rather quality of life? I have my like and I would assume you have yours. But the crux is "to live" ... the rest is a mixed bag of who knows what comes next to help live a...

    Been a While - A few Questions

    Absolutely possible and probably more probable than not. Hind sight 20/20 so to speak.

    The Highest Truth

    Yes and yes ... I guess it's a lot like what's perfect for me would be different than what's perfect for you. My highest truth would be more about each individual entity finding a place of greatness or happiness, mixed with some (if only slight) hardship to help spur more growth and to help...

    Knowledge, Wisdom, and Philosophy

    I like the humor ... and I guess you're right ... I guess. I don't know. I do know I found the post funny. Is there a reason for the way you presented this? I mean a point you're making. The difference between knowledge and wisdom? O.k. ... Live and learn right?

    The Highest Truth

    Should be should be posed as is and is still being manifested and/or revealed. I think life reveals all in its own time ... you know grow as we go. I think some get stuck where they are, almost as if trapped in a snare, unable to break free from what they've always known or believed or thought...

    Can you handle the truth?

    Depends, but typically yes ... Like what's the truth: Is the glass half full or half empty? Both are true right? So, as with life and religion and what not, there's a truth present within the halves. I would suggest paradigms or rather each individual view point is both true and untrue ...

    Benefits of your time here?

    I first came here in 2005 ... wil ... You were here when I came. My views have changed tremendously, yet one thing I still hold true. Being accountable for what we do and who we are and how we live and of course ... My commitment to that cause. I've made many friends here, some of the best to...

    Can you handle the truth?

    I don't know ... I can handle my own truth, but not necessarily someone else's. I mean, I know what I enjoy and what I don't, what's pleasing to me what's not, what I prefer what I don't, but then these pleasantries are sometimes denied and the opposite forced, so ... Can you handle the truth...

    Been a While - A few Questions

    In reply to the bat post and altruism ... It makes sense until some find the semi selfless acts to be easily abused as in the generous ones often times get taken advantage of. In relation to humans this is damn near status quo and I don't see much a change taking place in that behavior...

    Been a While - A few Questions

    Sometimes abused, but not always ... more like often abused but not always. I agree it's a delicate situation, so what are the options aside from revelation or an exudus from, or the typical fight fight fight to no good end? I prefer either the revelation of truth or an exudus, but then the...

    Been a While - A few Questions

    In a civil society yes ... we have our units, then beyond our units or "tribes" are other units or tribes, x how ever many across wherever we may roam. With that being said, it makes much more sense to cooperate, organize efforts, and at attempt to co-exist productively ... not just peacefully...

    Been a While - A few Questions

    May I jump in? I'm loving the discussion. Compassion, empathy, survival ... who what is the strongest, fittest and why? It may be a collective as it has always been. From the beginning stages of life all the way up through each level and organism and creature on through to atmosphere...

    Freedom of Speech

    I think that's the way it has always been. Even states as much in Genesis ... Subdue the the earth, be fruitful ... multiply etc. With that said, can we accomplish anything or have any real or legitimate degree of success without freedom to speak truthfully and honestly? I mean if there's...

    was is swords or weapons into plow shares?

    I don't carry atm, but I did at one time. I think we can learn a great deal from history and what would've have beens ya know, so I do my best to avoid conflict and have a good time instead. It makes more sense and well ... it's more peaceful and enjoyable.

    was is swords or weapons into plow shares?

    ... Beyond that, what does it mean? If it's literally about "No more weapons" then what happens when w're all peaceful and no weapons, no skill, and we're all cozy and happy n stuff? I think it's more about finding peaceful resolutions, making peace instead of war, and sharing that sense of...

    Been a While - A few Questions

    For that matter Thomas ... Why not ditch religion altogether, cling to life and everything we find good and great and pleasurable, and have ourselves a really big and rich time having fun as we all perish and face our doom? It sounds a great deal better than banging my head against brick...
