Everyone you know is f**ked up in one way or another, everyone. But for the most part, with the exception of violent criminals, etc., no one is really any worse than the next guy (or girl).

Conceptually speaking, from a purely materialistic standpoint, "objective reality" seems true enough, that we should not question it; but in truth, our objective realities are merely virtual reality re-creations of the mind and are actually subjective reflections, or Platonic shadows, of an ostensible *absolute world* beyond our senses. The only verification of this absolute reality is via the consensus with other minds. Hence, the objective reality becomes an assumption, which relies on the confirmations of other observers. That means that in accordance with the scientific method, our objective reality, cannot be proved to be an independent absolute - only inferred to be an absolute, as possibly playing a particular role, in accordance with the statistical status quo.
On the other hand, with the solipsist interpretation, it must be realized that perception itself is given by perceptual stimuli.
Being such perceptual receptacles, the inherent function of our interactive dismay gives way to tentative faith in the structural coherence of reality at large. The basis of our trust in the structure of this virtualistic status quo, makes us feel as if we are "in the know".

Error, indeed, is never set forth in its naked deformity, lest, being thus exposed, it should at once be detected. But it is craftily decked out in an attractive dress, so as, by its outward form, to make it appear to the inexperienced…more true than the truth itself. One far superior to me has well said…, 'A clever imitation in glass casts contempt, as it were, on that precious jewel the emerald...' Lest, therefore, through my neglect, some should be carried off, even as sheep are by wolves, while they perceive not the true character of these men, because they outwardly are covered with sheep's clothing (against whom the Lord has enjoined us to be on our guard), and because their language resembles ours, while their sentiments are very different.

sometimes we think that the world revolves around us so much that when something goes bad in our day, we feel that the world should stop and sympathize with us. But come to think of it, we are but a speck in this whole universe. Whatever happens to us, the whole universe will keep moving.
On the other hand, the people closest to you will empathize with you when you're not feeling good about yourself or your day. Because for them, you are their world.

" Who doesn't peace? .... we cannot help being affected by emotional changes from moment to moment. if one feels insulted by any remark by someone, he will be on the offensive and have a strong desire to take revenge. Even in a single day,moment of joy and sorrow, peace and unrest keep alternating. These momentary ups and downs keep repeating and recurring. Even a single disagreeable remark creates mental disturbance and fills the mind with the feeling of revenge."...Times of India, Mumbai

No one is totally good or evil. We're all shades of gray. Our religious leaders are pretty good proof that none of us is totally good, and I'll bet even Hitler patted a dog, or smiled at a child at some time. Not that he wasn't an unmitigated bastard. No offense to bastards anywhere intended.

The house.......
In the beginning God formed man out of the dust of the ground....
this formation is but a clay formation in the shape of a man.... and is known as a "temple"........
The body, (temple) houses what is inside.... We call it "alive".... as Scripture called it "living"..... that living thing is created alive, unlike the body which cannot motivate without that living thing.....
When men dream, he dreams of that "house".... and will say, "I dreamt that I was in this "house""........ That house, is his body... What is "IN"... that house.... is that living thing......
So men will see themselves, in their dreams, as houses.....
the state of a man's mind is the condition and version of that structure which God created..... He will see himself as a church, if he thinks on a religious level.... as a tattered barn... if he sees himself as worthless....... the condition is the state of a man's mind......
God created a marriage between the body and the spirit... whereby at death, they separate, one from another...... ("till death do us part").........
God leaned upon that formation He had created, and breathed into it, the breath of life.... .and entered into that "house", that living thing.......
That living thing that continues to this day, is the sperma..... it is created out of passion.... and quickened with life in a stroke...... and is brought forth to find its "home".......
It is from woman, that the shell of the human body is come.....
Unlike man, a woman is born with cells on either side of her body.... and they will wither with time...... as the human body withers with time..... and as she matures, one of those "cells" will be cast out every month.... Just as the season of a man's life is done, his body is cast back into the earth from which it is come as the day God created it from the ground....... ("to dust will he return").......
your sister,
Ginger

Its not mine, but its true.
The first step to wisdom is to admit that you know nothing.
