Thatch, having a sister with severe mental illness who finds herself institutionalized for lengthy periods, I have witnessed the torment that those with a flimsier grasp of reality have to bear. In some situations it seems to me (And I'm no specialist)that no mechanism are available to particular individuals to combat life's distress and these events may even be a catalyst for certain psychotic episodes.
Feeling quite dumb as I'm not sure exactly how Jack Sprat jibe/joke relates to my fishy tongue. I'm assuming it is better to have fish on ones tongue as apposed to fat.
Cali, this idea of separation from oneself(if indeed that's what it is), I like a lot. Being able to remove yourself from emotion, negative energy and other confusing messages to stand and see the issue clearly would be a wonderful skill.

You really must start quoting your sources, Blueocean old boy. Wouldn't want to be misconstrued as deceptive or seen to be claiming accolades for ideas and thoughts that aren't actually your own, now would you?
Space, we obviously subscribe to the same book of life.
Simmo, It is those with passion that gain life's greatest reward, and it appears you have it in spades.
Do you believe wisdom to be hunkered down, camouflaged in the mind from day one, waiting to be enticed into the conscious open? I am disinclined to believe we are born with innate wisdom, hidden or other wise, as it seems to me that it's the through the combination of life's positive/negative experiences and observation that we are able to identify and understand true wisdom.
smart, I'm not sure there is any right or wrong answer in how to respond in moments of duress. If something as simple as maintaining a smile enables you to wade through life's sewage, so be it.
Space, I resonate with many of your thoughts and ideas, believing we must first truly understand the self, then allow it the freedom to reach its fullest potential.
Often it is those of us that are a minority, or marginalized in society, that have developed the ability to engage fully in life and ask of it all that we can.
choco,we all are able to create our own rules for every one of life's games. If you require extended periods of time to gain the most enjoyment from the game, it's your choice. Similarly, if there is need for pause or respite during this recreation we call life, it is you who must decide these parameters.
cofy, determination to succeed against the odds for friend, family and self is most commendable and a solid manner to approach life.
choco, it matters not that whether there is a winner or loser, rather, it is of the highest importance to engage or play in the game. Participation is the reward in its self.
It's a delicious thought that the universe is just fluttering eternally on a membrane (or brane) as might a slice of bread if it were part of an infinitely sized, eternal loaf of bread.
Or would you prefer to subscribe to the bubble mulltiverse, where universes are popping into existence like holes into Swiss cheese.
How wnderous and enjoyable man's ability to imagine and ponder such possibilities.
Schrodinger's thought experiment, cat in a box if I'm not mistaken, Cali.. There is nothing but probability and potentiality until something is observed, as I believe you already know.
The chances of love splitting THIS universe is extremely thin, I might ad. As there may be an infinite number of universes, it is/has happened somewhere. Oh to live there, Cali.
Space, society has come about through our evolution as a species, and our prospective mate will invariably be influenced by similar societal rules, norms or expectations as ourselves.
I just want to know what others perceive of style and cool is.
Just because I may have a perception of what style and cool is doesn't necessarily mean it IS what style and cool is. Perhaps style and cool is different for different people
Hence my query to others on how they may perceive it.
Cali, so you believe to at least one person we will appear stylish and cool, possibly to someone less cool than ourselves. Then would we want to be involved with someone less cool. That won't help perpetuate the cool gene, now will it?

Once again it seems acceptable to undertake any barbaric act in the name of a God.History will in time prove religion to be man's greatest disappointment.
