Understand that having is seldom as satisfactory as wanting. It would be a poor trade.

Hi,
And in trading everything would I be guaranteed being given that something I can never have? I don't think so because I can never have it. And what are the repercussions. To lose everything for nothing? It's like selling my soul to the Devil. No, I wouldn't do it.

Being everything is nothing, I don't see how it could matter.
This is more easily understandable if one considers the actual scale of the components of an atom. If one takes into account the fact that the neutrons, protons and electrons of an atom actually have huge spaces between them it becomes clear that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are made up of 99+ percent empty space.
This alone does not seem too important till you add the idea that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are more of a loose conglomeration that share a similar attraction but never really touch each other.
At first glance this does not really seem relevant, but closer analysis reveals that this adds a tremendous amount of empty space to solid objects that are already made up of atoms that are 99 percent space. When so-called solid objects are seen in this light it becomes apparent that they can in no way be the seemingly solid objects they appear to be.
We ourselves are not exceptions to this phenomenon.
These seemingly solid objects are more like ghostly images that we interpret as solid objects based on our perceptual conclusions.
From this we must conclude that Perception is some sort of a trick that helps us to take these ghostly images and turn them into a world we can associate and interact with. This clever device seems to be a creation of our intellect that enables us to interact with each other in what appears to be a three dimensional reality.
I hope that helps to answered your question.
Love and blessings Don

Then I would be left with nothing.
If that was the case, I would trade everything to the devil if that would mean I would never have to be in hell and it would guarantee me a place in heaven.

No, but I would trade everything of value so that my daughter could know some inner peace.

no
if i trade EVERYTHING i already have all that i need
and if i could never have it, trading everything would just cause hurt, pain, and release that store of hope that would just be crushed to smoke and float away

Like self-sacrifice??? Now, that would depend on the situation...I may or I may not. The world will remember me as a martyr or mad woman depending on the cause.
Will cross the bridge when come to...

No never, I gave up on the dream I could never have, and I wouldn't give up my family for anything.

I don't think there is anything that I want and at the same time can never have, so no.

I would not. I already have many of the things I want and I am thankful for them. Why would I give them up? (people, not things)
