Are we therefore virtual beings, existing in between two more reasonable states of time, that equal nothing, but are only stories and hopes of our minds? A virtual state of time between two virtual states of time?

Proof beyond a reasonable doubt... whoever gets punished by a court of law has some bad lawyers.


Here is the ultimate defense: this all could be a dream. There's no way of veryfing whether or not it's a dream, because you could be dreaming while you perform the test. At any given time you can't tell whether it's a dream or not, therefore you have no knowledge that the defendant did anything, exists, or committed the crime in question.


Zzzzzzzz

Have all of the important questions been asked about ourselves?

What is the meaning of life? Who are we? Why are we here? Have all of the questions been asked already and now are only being recycled for the benifit of future generations?

If they have been asked why haven't they been answered yet?

Please explain your answers. Thanks

When a radiant sun sets over a glistening lavender bay,
Or a tiny baby robin takes its first flight during a magical spring hour,
What words come to mind, what grander message can one possibly convey?
For beauty is by far the most wondrous pleasure this world has to offer.

It takes its presence in every object and every being on this land,
From the most marvelous and kingly palaces to a delicate blossoming yellow daisy.
Beauty has no definite shape nor figure, as I have come to understand,
It all depends on how pure one’s mind and how deep his soul can see.

Thus, the brilliance of such beauty is without a doubt unrivaled in extent,
For how can one possibly compare the magnificence of a priceless Greek statue,
To the breath-taking elegance of a simple red rose left in its element.
For beauty should never be measured as many wrongfully do.

The uniqueness of said beauty has limitless achieve,
So open your eyes and acknowledge what others have failed to perceive.

I see many more "mature" people try to pass their wisdom onto me and my more youthful friends. It seems age only brings a excessive degree of confidence or rather superiority. (No offense older crowd, but hey, a lot of people do this, and I don't appreciate being treated like i know little of the world)

Is it the body that derives joy from looking at a thing of beauty, or is it the Atma (soul)? What is it that relishes the good food that is consumed - the body or the spirit? What is it that enjoys fragrance or is moved by beautiful music?

I am an artist, I paint, and I want to express the idea of many things arriving down into one thing or an existance, and than that one thing or existance traveling back into many things again, after death.

Is there an object/thing (living or non-living) than can symbolically help express this idea and concept?
