de illusions of grandeaur tie self to the good alone, and greatest good is not unleashed as true grandeaur of sun and moon and cosmos less the heart follow not a guide of either good or bad, and just "be" come as one, not TWO, as good and bad DICTATE UNTO EVIL CREATED???

if the proposed sight of only the good deeds of self and humaninty, FOLLOWED AS AN IMAGE OF THE ONLY GOOD, could EVER solve and create grand good, it would have already, as this has had all current history to try to succeed???

only the embracing of the BAD of humanity as the good TELL of more create the ab solution of all bad into GRAND GOOD???

TO WORSHIP THE PROPOSED GOOD ALONE CREATE ALL EVIL THAT WAS EVER AS CREATED???

I havent said i dont care about anything or anyone. Some things are trivial compared though. Sometimes things capture my heart more than others, like the Tsunami did, i donated quite a reasonable amount of money to that cause. I have been busy of late and have missed most of the news and happenings in Australia, and i dont feel so affected. As tragic as it all is.




Dan, what I responded to in your OP, is the sense that you believe another person is not genuine in expressing their concern or care for another... I felt it inappropriate to decide for another, that they are nor being sincere, in their responses.

Then I answered your question... I do care... deeply so, for anyone who struggles, suffers, or has experienced trauma.... I may not show how much I care, in the way they want me to.... I care in the way I do.

We are all different... we all feel different levels of attachment to others... or detachment... and I can see that the amount of insular detachment of us as societies, in general, is alarming.

So desensitised, so insular, so, for all appearances sake, uncaring for others...

That is alarming...to lose one's innate compassion, and empathy for others, is to lose one's essential humanness.

if it take cold and hot to make the beloved warm self love, then self does not know warm until it embrace cold and hot of itself???


Its Bilbo Baggins! laugh David Im just kiddin. You know I love ya man. That actually does make sense in a way. Its an interesting point about the ability to demonstrate empathy if I am interpreting correctly. whoa


IN OTHER WORDS, TRUE GREATER COMPASSION CANNOT COME FORTH FROM THE INFINITE SELF IF IT IS AT ALL A "WILLED" THING FROM THE FINITE MIND, THAT "LOVE" TO DECLARE ITSELF AS GOOD AND GREAT, seeing not that GOOD AND GREAT is NEVER as GOOD AND GREAT AS IT CAN BE, IF IT IS SPOKEN OUT OF THE MOUTH???

the same prinicple as IF ONE WALK INTO A ROOM, AND DECLARE ALOUD "I AM WISE"???

IT IS "WISE"???

would or should any human "wise thing" believe it???

indeed, the MOST TRUE GOOD always CONCEAL ITSELF???

NO WISE THING LOVE NOT ALL SCRUTINY OF ITSELF AND IT'S MOTIVES???

anything that "wish to be good", hate to think of itself as not good, so cannot yet become as MOST GOOD???

oh yea, and "your the best" as ALL ARE AS WELL!!!

It is totally appropriate for me to decide who is full of sh1t or not. I am allowed to make any judgements i chose. What im not allowed to do is pick on anyone individually, and i havent done.

Or should i believe every word i read on here?

Some people do say things like 'i care' for the benefit of people reading it because they are concerned for their own self image, rather than what they are saying they care about. If you dont think this is true, maybe you are a little too trusting.

Sympathy for other people's problems, feelings and/or loss combined with the "What if it were me" factor makes me care very much for those that I don't really know:smile:

Im not here for dating anyway. But my online persona has always been the same and i have never had any problem with finding people that are attracted to it. Not that that has anything to do with the topic.

to lose essential humanness is the first step into INFINITE ACCEPTENCE???

to be desensitised is to become as less enamored with self and it's own "feelings", which free unto more than just humannity and unto greater than human potential???

for any greater power of anything, least power must first be EXPERIENCED, to then know MORE POWER IN ALL THINGS???

self is conviced it care if it feel how itself would feel, but knowing what other's truly are, come not by filtering one word or thing thru self???

Ive been attracted to it. You are a laugh a minute and you tend to tell people how it is. You speak from your heart, even online. You lack pretentiousness.

Understand what you say I do not. Does anyone? No I think. Process only logical not convoluted thoughts can we. Write so we understand you must. Appreciate it we will.

if self need a translator how much can self understand that is not identical to itself???

what is going on shall soon be the question of the entire planet???

it is better to dig deep to aquire when there is no rain, for when it rains it is much harder to see the road???

the more and longer self has decided anything that think and say not as self does knows not, the less it see or understand???

the only sight that carry into the next age be one that prove how all things can be true, not how all things that sound not like self are untrue???

if self divide all words into two categories based on it's feelings alone, self is seperated in two by self???

When you see a thread and someone is ill, dying, dead or whatever..do you REALLY give a damn?

I ask because i see a lot of falseness, and people PRETENDING to care.

Most often, if i am honest, i couldnt give a damn. For me it all depends on how well i know somebody. A friends son passed away very recently and i DO care, i have know her a long time and met her in person twice.

But when its someone i dont really know, which is the case for the majority of people here, or its this someone's friend, relative or budgie, it doesnt really provoke any interest or emotion in me. So what?! There is sh1t happening to people all over the world that i dont know, its not my problem and there is nothing i can do about it anyway...oh look a peanut..

So...who really does care for peoples problems when they dont know the people?
...I had a similar question once dan. Here in america there have been many people killed on roadways. Many of the accidents have been marked with a cross. I didn't understand it. It kinda didn't make sense. My wise father said to me "Those crosses on the roadways are not for the dead for they are dead and can't care. Those crosses are for the living. For a loved ones remembrance and respect". To answer your question dan- prayer and remembrance threads are also for the living. To give help and support to those in need whether it be a long time freind or total stranger. It is about the compassion you hold in your soul for others. In some cases it is a simple courtesy. In the case that made you bring up this thread I know the child in question and his mother well enough to know, love, and trust them. And I pray that all will be well for them. Because I care.

This right here is the best answer anyone could give!! Your father is very wise!! :smile:
