True - I am not sure of reality because ideas of 'good and bad" have confused, perverted and distorted everything.

I believe that the absence of love could be the latent cause of the manifest effect if not the root of all evil...

As the twig is bent so shall the tree grow...

The twig[innocence]... never knowing the intimacy or shelter from the fiercist of winds would naturally mature or evolve into a somewhat twisted or bent form or replication of it's inherent d.n.a.
Everything and everyone is subordinate[shaped] to some extent by its culture and conditioning...imho

reality is what is apparent. and seen with one set of eyes...

Reality cannot be seen with those same eyes...

In the Light of Truth there is no distortion or perversion nothing to be confused [minded]over no good or bad what so ever... just That and nothing else..."What's wrong with right Now...unless you think about it?...


Let all thought go..."You" won't disappear!...I Promise.
Drop the mis-identification...TRY IT! I DARE YOU!!!
Step back from thought and 'you' as the witness...will observe..."THe Root Of All Evil".

However the reality of giving food to someone who is starving - to put it bluntly - it is USELESS. Definition - Starvation Dying for lack of food.....Starvation is the result of a severe or total lack of nutrients needed for the maintenance of life. The starving person is a "dying" person....(who can sometimes be saved) but solid food is useless at the starvation stage because the body is no longer is able to absorb nutrients. Ideally treatment would begin by introvenous feeding gradually introducing liquids and then solids to diet. This is not to say the person can necessarily restore full health either because the physiological damage from starvation can be irrepairable. The point of saying all this is to illustrate how - Doing what has to be done - (no matter how sefllessly) is still subjected to highly fallible quantifications and qualifications....and if our "assumptions/information" is incorrect then our actions will be also. What safe-guards are there to ensure the qualifications and quantifications are true representations of reality....reality as you say not 'good or bad'.....but reality in terms of what has to be done.

TY for your post

I would never dye a person to a different color'

Starvation is a quantitative term. There is no allowance for the usage dieing on my spell check. Where there is life there is hope, there is finite. YOU TAKE YOUR BEST GUESS BABY! I did not i think say reality not good or bad but varies from persona to persona, that is either a misunderstanding or you are putting words into my mouth u feisty redhead you ...growl.

One does what has to be done.
Peace~graham

I would ask their Goverment.

The technology exist to use energy from neverly every/any resource on Earth.

Give a man a fish feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish...he will feed his Self/family for a lifetime.

Technology is as close as a mouse-clik away.
