I just lose my control when it happens, sorry I can't help it; it's so strong, it's just stronger than me; If someone does that to me, I could just crush them.

It's so unfair; I hate it, all the hate in me gets out of me, and I can't control it...
It's too deep, I can't resist it. I can't stand public insult.


That's okay David,we are still friends I hope,no harm done.

take care my friend.

regards michael.

Some people are weaker, some people are stronger.

You're the stronger, I'm the weaker.

I would talk against war in the world, and I can't even control my own war.

I'm a bad example.

But I'm under the impression you activated me. Am I right? If so, why?

Why would you want me to say things I wouldn't want to say to you? (if so).

We are what we are David,if you think you are strong then you will be.however it works
the other way as well,so if you think you are weak,then you will be!

Let us leave it here my friend,and return to the thread theme.

warm regards michael.

Logic can't explain war.

Of course, this does not mean war has to be approved.

Hello Friends:
I voted other:
Free will is the freedom to calculate how best to achieve (survival/continue)
The future does not exist. The past is but a record of the events of the ever present NOW.
We have our imagination that is the mutable possibilities of our creation. Once we act the creation is made at the point of creation the ever present NOW. This creation that we have made, once it is made can never be unmade. It can be covered and hidden but it can never be unmade. It is the being the observer that creates the time at the point of creation now. Always at the center of the universe. This time once created in turn creates space. This is also obvious. It is because of time that two objects can exist in the same space for the time has created new space.

Continue is the constant that makes it possible to see life as the result of a force.
It is apparent.
It is constant.
To see life as the result of a force makes a conversion of force possible as the result of the presents of life and being as the observer.

Because of the constant continue at the basis of life, so then life can result with time as the constant continue indicates. From this is generated space as is always the result of time.

It all comes from within. We as an individual are but a single dimensional trail of time. But the collective of all life is the 3 dimensional trail of time that can create all of the 3 dimensional space we can experience.
Also the consciousness is not a single point but at every conceivable point. There are the universes of all the possibilities and of all of the choices that could be made. Everything is there nothing is ever lost. Including every choice that we NEVER made. One day maybe we can examine these possibilities.
We do not need to travel in time to do it. For it is all recorded in Elsewhen. In the strings of space that exist as single dimensional space. There is however 3 dimensional time. Within this 3 dimensional time is
Each of our single strands. These single strands of space that are formatted with the events in time when the space was created are the soul for every living thing. They are as long as the universe. To follow is to again experience the lives that you lived. This is the eternal existence that we make for ourselves by the life that we lead today. Your soul is the world you create while you live here, to exist within for eternity when you leave.
John


Creator of Silence.
