This forum has helped me out more times than I can remember.
There's so much confusion and determination here, It's great
the feedback is stellar. everyone wants you to know exactly how they see the situation. a constant dance of perspectives. sometimes I get caught up in it and before I know it I don't know what the fuck to think about anything... *thumbs up*

Lol. There is so much confusion i barely know sometimes why i even write the responses to some of the things on this board. And sometimes i cant even keep track of my thought processes they move and change to quickly. Maybe its just me.... but i would hope that one day between people they had some kind of "philosophers stone" between eachother. But i do agree. This place has lots of good characteristics... else i wouldnt be back here!      

Autonomous: "Excellent post. Thank you. "

Your welcome

Is pointing out fallacious reasoning a positive or a negative thing? What about merely questioning? Correcting factual errors? Is silence or agreement the only way to be positive?

WE all have a lot of errors on this board... and we correct eachother when we think we know the others intentions. But i know what you mean and i have come to appreciate being corrected in my thinking. In my ability to grasp.... down to earth. And to not float in dream land at every thought that comes my way. I think its hard for me and some people... and anyone to grasp what they dont understand, whether it be the questions they have about life or the world or anything for that matter. Without understanding how they got there....what their foundation is. They feel bare and naked and confused.... well maybe thats just me, but when im under scrutiny thats what seems to happen. I think humiliation in that sense... is a good thing to have when you are trying to be Down to earth... and trying to cope with whatever you have seem to come to illogically. That what you say swami is a very positive thing to do to people, but i do feel that sometimes it may unravel people, i think rather than rip people bare.... or lets say leave them hanging.... Give them something else to look at. Another possibility, another way for the intellect to let out what they dont understand, something for their humility to embrace once they have lost their "shell".

  for me, this is just a forum for discussion, its entertainment, facilitated through our own passion for creating identity.

its just text, human created text, human communication. letters and numbers. coffee talk.

humans enjoy talking to each other, there doesnt have to be a meaning or a point to any of it, it shouldnt be hateful, but it doesnt have to be loving. its neutral, its a constructive chess game.

I very much agree with you that we are here to seek our own identity or at least use it in interaction with the outside world. Or for us sometimes the inside world... of all of us. I dont think that i was really trying to make this about love... but rather that it not be hate. Love can come and go as it will, but hate it seems is so much easier to rise out of the hearts of people. I think that if we cant find our love, that we be neutral... like you say, accept the fact that we are human.... we make mistakes, and we should move on. I think there is more meaning in what you say than you would care to believe for yourself , but maybe thats just me. To me you are very real, and your comments, as far as the board is concerned is very important to me, and i doubt that others dont feel the same.

You are right, it always seems as though people come to replace those that leave. I had not really come to think of that.

"The sun was just going down when I realized that we are all connected to each other just as the clouds are connected to each other, through energy. And that since we are all one, I shouldn't judge others at all."

O i love the sky. When i go out... when its not blistering my skin. The skies here are wonderful. I will just sit and watch as the clouds go by, as day turns to dusk, and the sky lights up in fires of orange and pink and purple. I see the trees... forget about the cars, forget about roads, i see trees, and i hear the sounds of life. I know when i look out there that that is nature, not what we put in between us. What we put in between is our own contructs, and in this world, an aim for diversification. But i know that when i look at the sky or plant or a person i know i cannot do one thing to either of them, without damaging some part of my own life. That is the understanding i have come to with nature.... and most importantly in that "thing" which we have here, human relationships.

Very good point. If we have been raised to believe what our parents have taught us... where does that put us. In their shoes?... something important to remember, when i think we look at our own lives. That we must be careful of what we "believe". I think in Moderation.... that this is a Very important tool for all of us to have. WIthout it... we might as well all be slaves to our own imagintion, although sometimes i feel myself slipping to that place...I remember to keep my head just a little above water. I love my imagination and all the things that i have been able to do with it. Maybe that would be a life without free will... to not be able to decide and choose Objectively what we want to believe and what we do not, but "faith" is sometimes necessary for acceptance, and faith comesin many forms. Acceptance goes beyond words or categories, it stands alone as the human ability to grasp and understand, as well as reason and the ability to cope with that which we cant seem to understand, or those things that which seem to be so heavy upon us.

I hope i got to everyone, much peace to you all.
