An interesting conversation came about between me and my 14 year old sons last night while traveling to family's house for Christmas celebrations.

The conversation including the topic of what we 'know'. Interestingly enough, of course, I assumed the 'role' of the wise one... Hah!!!:wink:

The conversation took a turn after it had been established that, in fact, all we really 'know' is what we have accepted as truth, and even then, it in fact may or may not be true. While I was questioning my son(s) in regards to this, the sub-topic of whether or not we 'know' that we are alive also came up... And I asked him...

'Well, how do you know that you are even alive? I mean what if life is just a dream of some sort... what if it all is some type of dream."

My other son says, 'Yeah, God's dream...' and kinda chuckles after the joke...

To which the other, after little hesitation or contemplation, speaks up very clearly and quite confidently...and he says with a considerable conviction...





" Dad, you have to have life in order to dream.'





From the mouthes of babes...

Happy Holidays to all...flowerforyou

aaaah that is the truth.....

Matthew 11: 25 never rang so true....

At that time Jesus answered and said, "I praise Thee, O Father Lord of heaven and earth, that Thou didst hide these things from the wise and intelligent and didst reveal them to babes....


Merry Christ-mas Creative to you and yours...And may the New Year bring much joy and peace to you all.

How precious, a wonderful lesson and memory.

I think, therefore, I am.

Works well enough when conscious
but it took a 14 year old to flip the coin

I dream, therefore, I am.

So glad you shared this, thanks CreativeSoul.
