Because, it would be naive to think that we know the complete story and that within our current states of ego could even comprehend the 'full' complexity of reality and its workings.
But while we're here, we might just be able to work out some things that resonate with us individually and help us live meaningful lives. So please, contine. |

Thank you. |
What a great discussion here ! Certainly we are different people with different temperaments, different experiences, different styles, we've read different books, we have different ideas and opinions. Yet the discussion goes on!
I didn't quote everybody whose posts struck me here, just a few...I surely agree with you, Paul-- and I suppose that is why these forums exist......Now that would be an intention, wouldn't it? How hard might it be to attract people like those on this board/forum? Sounds like a perfect focus for an intention some time
On the political side, just as an example, not to veer the conversation into any specific change of topic, Noam Chomsky's response to people who ask what can they do to improve the world situation--again and again, comes back to the idea of building a community of people around you who have the interest and will to put energy into thinking and communicating creatively and constructively together.
all best to all of you!
