what are we?

Anyway I guess to sum up what I'm saying is that yeah choice does exist , but for me anyway it's easier to concentrate on the choice whether or not to solve , when I do that I'm comfortable .
tomtrytostay
I guess all choice is really is options and we all have options all the time . It's just sometimes we are conscious of those options and when we are we sometimes feel the need to think the decision through .

I tell you what interests me though , when we have a big decision , when we think things through deeply , would we do just the same thing as if we'd stayed mindful ?

I suspect so . I'd guess all the analysis brings us is an understanding why we behave as we do .
tomtrytostay
I find though talking to people can alter our decision . They can bring a new way of looking at the situation into play . That's helpful .
tomtrytostay
I find rules don't work for me . How to be . What works for me is just this concentration on just being me .

You can relax that way , enjoy people and live in the moment .

Interesting view . I accept that part of evolution is that people struggle for an equitable society .

You'd have to hear the conversation really . My niece is very intolerant of anyone mentioning Aspergers as a challenge even . She sees it as her full stop . I get that but I think she's in denial a little bit.

Anyway I think your view is very generous and it's true that people have to fight for peace . Nice comment Fh .

Okay maybe we have to be specific what's meant by acceptance . I think then perhaps we'd agree that it's important to recognise reality and not live in denial .

As for me I think acceptance is not trying to understand things . Letting go. I see with both my nieces agitation.

But you know Fh I think you are making a very valid point . It's one thing being in a calm place mentally , spiritually , that doesn't mean a person shouldn't fight injustice . We shouldn't necessarily go with the flow.

Again Fh very good point . Actually it's insight like yours that make this thread worthwhile to me .

It's worthwhile taking the rocks that are hurled my way for the truths that are shown to me . I enjoy them .

Thank you .
