It's FUN! Immense, seemingly unending fun. Then .. the fun ends!

You have never experienced the life of a mosquito, just admit it, stop playing around thinking how fun it is, when you know full well, you have no idea what it is like to be a mosquito.

No one here on this thread will think any less of you for admitting the truth of your lie.

QED for now

EDIT: I do like my name in the top slot. What do you all think? It has a certain flashiness to it.

Thank you Gary, for your wonderful participation in this play.

BTW, you don't happen to know why Shakespeare killed Romeo and Juliet do you?

I mean talk about PASSIONATE LOVE ...it should be allowed to flourish.

I agree. I wish I knew where to find passionate love but passion is difficult for me to come by sometimes. I don't feel passion very often. Most of the time I'm just kind of chilling in life, I guess. Figuring out what to do next.

What to do next huh?

You could maybe whip up a baked bean and fried egg pizza.

Ingredients
1 (28 ounce) can baked beans
4 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 (16 ounce) packet instant yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar



I personally love being passionate about making love with food.

Hmm. That doesn't look all that savory. Are you sure it's edible? Is there enough for Harbal? Maybe I'll give him a call and see if he wants to dine with us?

I.e. imploring ‘god’ to end your existence here.

Well, that was before, now I feel like I have some purpose in life. Maybe I'm wrong?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

BTW AJ: Dontaskme posted a question above to you. Did you not see it? Why don't you talk to Dontaskme for a while? I feel a sudden need to make you aware of it.

Seeing, I see nothing. Not-seeing I see and seeing see nothing. The no-moon makes no-waves.

There. Does that help you "see" it or are you looking at a blank computer screen?

The ‘seeing’ I refer to is Zen seeing.

So are you saying Zen doesn't see?

Don’t ask me, how should I know?!?

I'm not sure if Dontaskme is online right now and honestly, I don't see how she can better answer a question I've asked you. Whatever...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Modest progress today. Less than the possible but not so bad. And tomorrow is another day.

Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 2:24 amTo have this perspective, to declare it, seems true from material science perspective. But not from perspectives of ‘higher metaphysics’.

The universe has nothing whatever to do with your metaphysical predilections which are nothing more than mind games - the art of devising ideas - in which some are stupid while others develop into sophisticated thought fractals. Turn them into sound and they may be symphonies or that which truly is disposable. Your metaphysical yearnings proceed from no other source than your physically and chemically operated neurons without which the metaphysical cannot exist. The latter, including all spirituality, is an epiphenomenal emergence rooted in its primary source. There is no other!

Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 2:24 amIf everything is disposable, anything is in truth superfluous.

Note: I didn't say "disposable" though they partially overlap in meaning.

The terms dispensable and superfluous are context dependent. For example, it's true that the earth within the solar system is dispensable; the solar system within the galaxy also, and by extension, the galaxy within the universe. Why dispensable? Because nothing in the universe depends on any of it being there. To consequently render them superfluous or disposable simply because they're dispensable in the manner described would be one hell of an oxymoron...a non-sequitur of the highest order.
