    Big difference, lol.....

    But what if the battle chose you? One time I was letting this one girl use my car, she was a barmaid (German) and had a child. I really didn't want her to use the car, but she was a friend and so, what the heck. One day her boyfriend stopped with with one of his redneck friends and wanted me to gat out of the car and fight. He told me that he was going to kick my ass if I ever let Monica use my car again. And so I thought there was no way I was going to win this situation, since she wasn't a girlfriend, just a friend, and I really didn't want her to use my car anyways.

    Even if I "won" the fight I'm sure both of us, maybe 3 of us, would be bloodied and the cops would probably come.

    So I just said OK and drove off. Once at home I called Monica and told her what happened and that she couldn't use my car anymore. Boy I guess her boyfriend caught shit from her. And so while driving away I was completely successful.

    Sometimes you fight, sometimes you walk, drive or run away. It all depends on the circumstances.

    Another time at a party this drunk was really obnoxious and forcing this one girl physically to kiss him. I told him to knock it off, and he stated "Oh I think I can beat you" knowing I had a bad heart. So when he charged me I hit him once in the head and fractured his skull. He went instantly down and that was the end of the encounter. Later he filed a complaint with the police and tried to sue me. The cops laughed when they heard my side of the story and investigated and no attorney would take his case on a contingent basis, so no law suit.

    Sometimes you fight, some times you don't.

    This is becoming BORING...

    Epilogue: The girl moved in with me, later we went to Vegas, and later still she moved to NYC.
    Coincidence: I found out later that she was the grand daughter of my brother's 1st employer. Small world.

    Re: An Idea

    Thanks for sharing, Prof.

    Methinks we are saying the same thing.

    There are many ways to stage a battle, the most successful being to avoid it.

    Next best: Choose the time and place, as in your examples given.

    What's that saying?

    Experience and treachery will prevail over youth and skill, every time, LOL......

    Or words to that effect.

    What are you going to do for an encore?

    No-Thing, I'm guessing.........?????

    Good question. Every existance has a reason, except God. God has no reason to exist. Thats what I feel.

    Hello Dipayankar.

    It's when we begin the attempt to compare what we are 'feeling' that the debate gets lively, as this aspect of ourselves is ever unique, hence subjective, even when we attempt to remain objective in the debate.

    'Science' is difficult to apply to 'what I feel', on any topic, especially when applied to concepts that involve belief structures.

    God is eternal, therefore no reason, and that is why God is beyond reason.

    I don't know if there is such a thing as a straight line Steve, only curves, circles and a mobius strip.
    Yes indeed Pat.

    I also agree with your theory that life is cyclic ...

    Best,

    SHE has curves = The gravity of LOVE



    The Great Goddess is Timeless.
    She is Eternal.
    She is Alive.
    She is circular, ever spiriling upward.
    She IS Life.
    She is Passionate.
    She is Sensual.
    She IS Love.


    'we' are the least of HER see diagram. IN HER


    There is NOTHING without Awareness, which is endless Presence Being All That I Am

    Awareness / Consciousness is all there IS

    Where is IT

    IT IS - - HERE NOW ETERNALLY FREE TO BE WHAT EVER IT WANTS TO BE

    where else could it be?

    IT HAS NO BIRTH OR DEATH

    ''Only'' as appearances, these appearances are infinite in number.

    Re: An Idea

    Thats what I want to state. Science has no space for emotions or feelings unlike religion which has no space for reason.
