It's like playing the same video game over and over again, it gets tediously repetitive and dull after the novelty has worn off, to the point you want to stop playing the game.Belinda wrote: ↑Mon Jun 20, 2022 9:07 am
Man's past is important , and records of man's past are justified. The justifications of history are 1. When you know where you have come from you can better predict where you are going and where you intend to go. 2. When you are emotionally attached to your cultural or topographical origin you have that extra moral strength to fight for the life and liberty of people like yourself.
Some people are just so over the illusion they no longer have a desire to play anymore. Other people seem to love the torture of being.
I used to believe the game is worth playing once upon a time, then a calamity hit me out of nowhere, and I became a realist, and threw out all my delusions for good.
You and I believe in non-dualism. However we are forced to live our lives as if we exist in a relative world where we must face the next minute, the hour, the day, the year----
It's as though I'd written it myself. It speaks my language.
Have you read it Belinda?
