All we will ever be?

Either the writer of Game of Thrones is a genius or he/she has a very vivid imagination mixed with a philosophical thinking that does not hold too much water. I am at a part in the series where a very profound statement has been made. I have just began to ponder it. I like thinking about things on my own first to see how valid points/philosophical statements are...but this one might take some time, time unfortunately I do not have a lot of lately. Getting some perspective here will certainly help.

The statement: "Hopes and dreams, and loves and fears will all we will ever be." Is it possible if we boil down everything in our lives into the most simplest forms, does this statement hold validity?

These four essential life characteristics do all pertain to the self. That is for sure.

The part in the series has to do with teaching a young girl to be nobody.

Is it better to be somebody or nobody?


dunno


The reason why I ask, to be somebody, carries an ego attached. From things I have seen and heard in the past, your ego is not your amigo. laugh

@ Johnny,

While I was reading your blog, I was also eating some Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, then I put it aside to write my first comment. After the comment, I went and picked up my bowl of Ice Cream, only to find it melted a little, and for some reason, I don't know why, but one of the chocolate chips in the ice cream was swimming around the bowl. Hmm, strange.
confused
Robert
confused Are You Saying!

That Johnny And You Go Out On Dates?!
Angel,

We go out with ladies, he takes two or more, I take one. That's all I can handle these days. blues
Hello,

I found it interesting when you stated about the soul. As for being already important, important to who? That is the first question that popped in my head. I wonder, 200 years later, will we still be important? Anyway, I understand your point and it is very good. Also, I am very relieved to hear it is from not under the influence of meds. laugh
I didn't go anywhere, really...other than finish up the episode I was watching. grin I do have an early morning tomorrow and I will trying to fit in my typical episode or two a night I watch.

I will be here for a short bit yet.
Hello Pepps....long time. :) Nice to see you still around. I never seen the show either, until recently. I bought the first 6 seasons on dvd. It is on HBO and I am too tight to have HBO on my tv. laugh
rolling on the floor laughing Robert. You should really buy a case of Raid. rolling on the floor laughing
Robert....the other night, I finally asked a girl out on a date for the first time in my life. All she did is just stood there and looked at me speechless. rolling on the floor laughing
I might have to brush up on my approach a bit. dunno laugh
Johnny,

exactly! Important to who? Who cares who thinks I'm important or not. I have the confidence to know that I am important to myself and my world I live in. And if others can see that and sense it, then they might feel an attraction to want to talk to me or just feel that I'm okay to be around.

you know, I did a little tv show years ago. I was kind of important or famous locally, and it felt good for a while, but then later, it meant not much to me. It just became same ole, same ole. Instead, I focused on helping others, not necessarily to become important, but to become job ready to whatever they aspired to be.

Now, if they felt I was important after they moved up in the world, then I'll take that.

Anyways, you know what I mean. Life is too short for worrying about who thinks I'm important or not.

The best thing is to just help when I can, where I can and to be good to myself, those I care about and those in my lifetime. cheers
Well! Johnny

I Have Moved Back Home.......wine
Johnny,

That's great that you asked a girl out. It's nerve racking inside, but you gotta be cool on the outside (yeah right, like if I know how to be cool, lol). But anyways, that's great! I hope everything works out for you with her.

I have to get up early tomorrow too. So, right now, it's time for me to log out and get some rest. Now, where did I put that spiked prune juice at?

Have a good night and fun tomorrow. head banger
Pepps...that is the confusing thing to me. I always thought you had two homes. grin Okay, I am guessing you are back in Chi-Town area now.
....and, she didn't say no. So......thumbs up I just gotta present her with a legit plan. I kinda was not prepared for it. conversing
At the very least, I can learn from this one and be better planned for the other two potentials.
Johnny
Yes! I Did Too.
I gave the other one up! And moved back.....applause
Good for you Pepps....good time to pack up the ship and go anyway....with all the tornadoes and hurricanes down there. ....good move. thumbs up Now you gotta visit me up north so I can take you up for lobster and rolls. grin
Johnny,

one more thing before I go for tonight. Getting back to subject of your blog. I'm going to be moving in the near future, but not sure yet, where I'll be moving to. I have some places I like and ideas, but not completely sure yet.

I don't know this comment has to do with your blog's subject, but just thought I'd mention it.

Again, have a good night. grin
Correction:

I don't know WHAT this comment has to do with your blog's subject, but just thought I'd mention it.
gnite Ms. Peppercorn. angel Always a joy seeing you around.
TV again Johnny roll eyes laugh
Is it worth, though, for a man to ponder this sort of statements? To find out, I usually ask myself the question: "Is there any chance this will ever get me the Nobel prize in physics?" Long shot you'll say; aye? Long shot indeed but it takes a dream to keep a dude goin', pal.
Johnny, this has absolutely nothing to do with Game of Thrones laugh
But when I saw this video, for some reason I thought you would be interested in it, and possibly even blog about it grin



I think there is a lot of truth in that statement. When you get to the point where you know you are dying will you even think about your status or what you have accomplish in life....or will you wish to just hear and smell the ocean one more time. I prefer to be invisible...a nobody and there is much freedom in that. Unfortunately in a materialistic world it does not work so well to bring the bacon home. Think it is to never forget you are actually nothing but still do what needs doing and be the best you possibly can be.
Hello Molly,

Very very interesting. thumbs up Thanks very much for sharing it. Now, does one try and make sense out of it? What I mean by that, they say we are just consciousness...but where and how is that consciousness possible? Hmmmm. Now you got me thinking. grin
Hello Ek....totally agree with your thoughts there. It kinda makes me wonder if there is not one big giant deception going on. dunno ....kinda steering us down a path of selfishness...perhaps.
Hey Johnny,

I think conversely that the impeccable of the imperative situation is that variables and degrees of constants and omnipresent inanimate objects may constrict the mind from perhaps insoluble fen propaganda and quantum physics of nature that we ourselves may not understand or comprehend beyond depths unknowingly to mankind.

You know what I mean? professor
Johnny, I have the books but haven't had time to read them. I won't watch it until I finish reading the books. I think lots of books are horribly turned to movies or tv series. So I have no idea of this Game of thrones at the moment. grin

I haven't read the comments but I think it is better to be nobody. It will take time to explain why. So will you figure out why please. grin
Johnny, they have done Game of Thrones pretty well.
I watched the first couple of series, but I watch so little TV, I haven't continued.
But practically everybody I know is absolutely glued to it still, and say the current series is absolutely brilliant.

As for the vid I posted for you..don't overthink it.
I never overthink anything, I like being a fluffy cloud crazy
Hello Robert,

You may be correct. I have a potential theory though. laugh Molly's video points out another point...aside from the speculation that we are only consciousness. It also points out something about our thoughts. They ask a question. If we are in control of our thoughts, tell me what your next thought will be then. In other words, they are saying we are not in control of our thoughts.

So, to my somewhat crude theory as I try to break things down to the most conceivable simplistic forms...both consciousness and thoughts are a form of energy.

After reading some about the philosophy of astrology, the writer of that book theorizes that the stars....aka...suns in the galaxy/universe are giving off energy. He posed the question, what if this energy has some sort of intelligence to it.

If there is a connection between the universe and our being...if you will...there might be something to astrology.

I know...hogwash...about astrology.

But....is it really? dunno
Hello Usha,

As I watch more of the show....laugh ....being nobody leaves you less vulnerable. grin
Molly....too late, I might be over thinking it. laugh
Somebody wanting to be a nobody. The gifted person who forgets himself and you are the focus of his attention.
CC,

In the essence of the show, yes.

Sometimes....not saying this is happening with this show...but, sometimes messages are fed to the masses through shows. I remember as a child watching the Jetsons. What an inconceivable idea to be able to see the people as you are talking to them.
