You type a lot for somebody who does not exist for over ten yearsTom..
be yourself
Think about though how man evolved.
The decisions modern day man makes are an absolute result of it's natural development.
I mean ultimately it all just happens but it's true that nature is aware of itself through consciousness and that produces reactions.
if you don't exist someone's imagination is going wild right now.
Question, lets follow this out and say that one "being" is in fact in a state of almost no existence- everyone else is just the illusion of that person.
what point is chess? is it just to demonstrate to yourself that you are dumb.
what about scarier stuff; what of nasty trolls- one of those really spread alot of awful pics. does that mean "I" whoever that is- am responseable for that.
did "I" the hillucinating man- merely imagine violence in the world; a bloodbath in syria, the worst year in chicago for awhile, the election of the most idiotic politician in America's country.
what is actually REAL? and is there an actual entity that will look at this email- or is it that you imagination will invent responses?
is it possible that Everything I don't see- isn't actually real??
I'm lost in this point of view.
We are animals with a brain ...with self consciousness..capable of doing all the good and all the evil
in this world..To say we don t exist is simply nonsense...
if all is merely an illusion. imagine a serious and wonderful purpose.
I feel like that purpose is to get better at chess. I need to embrace that feeling more often.
perhaps, If I am determined- I will imagine my opponents as much weaker and see lots of winning moves. Would they be weak, If Imagined them as weak?
even without that POV; I'm sure it helps to adopt a positive point of view.
Sure the sun the moon the insect the bird the reptile the mammal all exist.
All of these are inherent within nature. All belong to nature.
Nature isn't a being either.
What's truly real is cause and effect. Natural materials and natural forces.
Everything else is an illusion.
quite so...
but I am yet very interested in the independance of things. suppose I am nice to my friends; and reach out those that are being harassed?
does that cause create an aeffect where lots of other people are nicer to me?
aren't they independant and perhaps ready to cyber bully me as well?? cyber bullying has become the topic of the house and a source of anxiety.
.... so perhaps it is better to withdraw into the annonymity of the net. perhaps that cause would allow a better effect.
its all hard to understand. talking here both causes sharing and bullying. its a dilemma. I like talking to people about chess all around the world but I really can't make me or my family a huge target for cyber abuse.
I saw through the illusion. Saw that all that's real is nature. It's all one.
I looked within.
