Sree, you’re interesting that’s for sure.  Your last sentence made me think of a song.  So lets take a break.

Reminds me of what’s said about writing, “the project is never finished, you just meet deadlines.”    😉

Poetry done well is a bit beyond my abilities, managing to describe stuff to my satisfaction is difficult enough.

And to steal your sentence Lausten:  Sometimes we just gotta get on with living and give “thee mysteries” a break.

I am not an ostrich, Mriana. Life is tough for most folks. It pains me to see people having to live in their cars because they cannot afford to pay rent for an apartment. What if they have kids to care for too? There is too much poverty here in America, the most powerful economy on earth.

Then how on earth can write that – while having such faith…[Read more]

What you say is true. God is indeed an invention of our thinking minds. Every fool knows that and is proud of that discovery.

Boy, where/how did you develop that notion?  Ever listen to Christian radio?

Are you not also the invention of your thinking mind?

Nope, it’s the other way around.

My mind is an ‘invention’ distally of evolution,

via the proximal vehicle, this body that “me, myself, and I” exists within,

in combination with the environments I’ve lived through.

6. Right Effort – to direct our efforts incessantly to the overcoming of ignorance and selfish desires.

Problem is that in trumpkin’s America “ignorance and selfish desires” have become supreme virtues.

Missed your last comment, writing mine.

I never really get angry

That’s sad.  I’ve got a bit of the hot head inside me, comes with passion.  So I appreciate that anger isn’t the greatest and it’s important to ‘manage’ – civil behavior is important.  Learning to vent appropriately is a wonderful skill.  But, I’ve learned to appreciate, it’s tha…[Read more]

You may not be hurting over anyone in particular but you channeled pretty powerful feelings that were tracked by my radar.

Well okay, I am a cognizant human who’s been watching us needlessly destroying this planet’s biosphere, which we depend for everything.  Now I’m watching democracy literally die within the United States of America.  I’m h…[Read more]

Sree, you are being silly (and not comprehending), I’m not the one that’s hurting.  Well it did remind me (and Tim for that matter) of another instance that definitely was deeply hurting for me personally, but that was life times ago.  I did my mourning and once in a while I’ll open that little box in my heart that reminds me of how real it was, t…[Read more]

hmmm, devil is in the details.

Traumatic Brain Injuries and Varying Levels of Intensity

The term brain injury can refer to many types of injuries[1] relating to the brain, skull, and scalp. Possible complications and required treatments will greatly depend on how the injury is acqui…

CC-v.3 said ; Does that make sense?

Write4U:   Absolutely,

I always like to add “natural selection” to the equation. Most changes are not successful and don’t survive. Not all change results in evolution of a species. It is those that pass the test of natural selection which eventually evolve into successful adaptation to their natural enviro…

I feel for your loss.

Back in ’91 lost a good friend, he was actually my age within a few days.  Rich man, poor man thing, along with pounding a ton of T-posts and pulling and stringing thousands of feet worth of barbed wire, I was turning into a bit of caretaker for his 640 acre Colorado “get away” and future retirement home, and we were…[Read more]

Cool, thanks for the link TimB.  By coincidence, or is it (twilight zone music overlay)?, just a few weeks ago I was teased with a YouTube video about it, and since I’d never heard about it, I took the bait.

The story didn’t impress me, especially since I don’t fully trust the “facts” presented.  Having scanned that article, seems to me t…[Read more]

Perception A, in conceptual form, is what religion has been saying. In Hinduism, Brahman, which is God, is the entirety of creation out of which materializes the Atman, in the form of the self, the person.

You forget that God is an invention of our thinking minds to help explain things beyond our comprehension.

When I claim that nature and god…[Read more]

but I can certainly see where someone would take offense to that

Seems to me Republicans have developed “taking offense” to a high propaganda art form.

The subject doesn’t matter much,

it’s the feigned indignation at anything liberals say or do that matters, not the substance.

think Starr and Derschawhatever, lindsey, Republican judiciary…[Read more]

To be fair, the constructors allege the concrete had not fully set.

Yeah, well there’s a tried and truth method for handling that situation – brace the f’er properly, before pouring the mud.

yeah, that’s a trip down memory row.

But here we are, having squandered these past critical decades on self-enrichment and complete disregard for the disasters our wanton avarice was creating for your younger generations to endure and then expire.  Yes global warming is that real and that consequential – we know this.  Well at least those with th…[Read more]

Our democracy now depends on John Roberts impartiality – now there’s an indication of how far this nation has fallen.

https://lulac.org/advocacy/issues/john_roberts/

However, Roberts has also demonstrated a hostility to individual rights, women’s reproductive rights, and he has taken positions that would undermine free speech. His experience a…[Read more]

I’m not a doctor either, but I understand the difference between brain injury and a headache.

Wasn’t there some mention of “Traumatic” in there?  –  Seems to me medical people save that for really special types of injuries.

TOG  ought look it up sometime.

Trump is a Christian

You actually believe that?  Or simply more cynical play acting?

Lordie, lord,  please do cite any Christian Acts trump can accused of.   Would love to see if you can.

New Testament Christian, that is.

Oh and not Me First Prosperity “Christian”.
