My feeling is be the change. Be the person you want to be and others will respond in kind.

I was thinking about this. I have to get what I want sometimes and I thought tough or gentle?

I think if you be your natural self and relax people will be comfortable with you and respond favourably.

We can't control people but we can set an example and show them they can trust us.

Also free your mind and live in the moment.

Every situation is different.

That's okay tree. It's quite an ask to accept you don't exist. I'm not expecting to convince you.

But you know we all have different beliefs. Our common ground is we can think about how those affects us.

This non existence thing is that an internet hype...at first I thought you made  it up yourself...but it keeps popping up in your threads all the time...to me it is simply not true...

Well the idea of free will is that tree. Darwin and Einstein and Hawking see the world another way.

Buddhism too talks about the idea the self doesn't exist and everything is interconnected.

Tree you are certain that the self exists but not that God does.

You've a closed mind in relation to the existence of self but an open mind in relation to the existence of God.

Don't you think the idea of self is inseparable from the idea of soul?

I see things that way.

I think people try to have it both ways.

They say God doesn't exist but I do. Declare themselves to be god.

I still don t see how you reached the conclusion that we don t exist..all common sense speaks against it..

Well we have different views tree and that's fine.

I listen to that evolution thread and it's all god does doesn't exist.

That type of polar opposite dialogue is plain boring to me.

I prefer to talk about how I see things and others to do that too.

I'm not sure that's true.

If you mean experience then I can understand that.

I think though your logic if you use it mightn't give you such a clear view.

Einstein talked about the idea of individuality as a type of optical illusion and that's about right.

Use your logic and consider causality and evolution. They are the truth.

Even that we love is a natural thing. Everything is. Everything has a natural explanation.

There are some types of creatures that don't love. They didn't evolve to love.

That's interesting. Time doesn't exist. I'm not sure that's true. I know why I said it. I'll think about that and reply. Got to go. Catch you later
