Thank you, duszek. Maybe it does come down to intuition. I think what I have found to be a waste of time in my life was, having children, working, paying taxes, algebra, the time I spent in church as a child, and wasting my breath trying to reason with republicans...to name a few.

I should have concentrated more on travel and art.

You should have traveled more.

Is there anywhere to travel to in your ideal of heaven? My mom says God will change us into non sinners and we won't be bored either. And all our questions will be answered. alot of good that did lucifer, eh?

Many years ago I was in a conversation with my father and the conversation got around to Heaven. Someone had told him that in Heaven we would spent all day worshiping and praising God, their idea of what Heaven was, And he said "If that is what heaven is like, I'm not sure I want to go there.", and if that is true, I would agree with him.

Keep your mouth shut and don't share what you really believe with very many people, most people just don't understand, IOW don't talk too much.

It´s not wise to waffle about personal details if one hates to be gossiped about.

But exchanging views is a good exercise, I would say.
It can reduce stress.
Like chewing food does too.

I enjoy exchanging ideas, I don't enjoy arguing with someone who is wrong.

Exactly my point in this thread...what if the one who's wrong is you?

Then one has wasted ones life...right?

I usually don't make a comment till I have made my own observations or base my statement on references that I trust to be accurate.

Can you trust everything you think you know?

I don't make statements about everything that I think I know, just what I'm reasonably sure of.

How liberal of you, Imp!

Survival and love, the survival of our species, along with other species, and genuine selfless love. Philosophically speaking there is nothing else.
