    The idea of someone having a father-in-law called Jym is too far-fetched for you.

    You cynic!

    Because the answer might be different if you are talking about [for example] "human society" or
    "The rock on which we spin through space".
    Cant you get into the spirit of a question like that ?

    just as much as it is true that we can always do something positive about it, rather than critizicing, which is so easy to do without yielding any results

    really?

    do you not feel "blessed" (for want of better) word for the life that you 've lived, and not died yet ,for example?

    (Of course I could be way off here , you may have had a miserable life, but reading some of your posts I suspect that would be a bad interpretation. rite? )

    for me I feel I may have been bashed to death just for espousing my own thoughts in my own city had I come her 25-30 years before. Now I am routinely hassled by police and am treated as a general pariah - except of course for some of the few that have noted that i have been a good parent several times.
    And espousing my thoughts , a tad more strategically I'll admit, is met with more attentiveness and at times, some fine questions 🙂

    the gaia theory, if true would be largely unknown. like me might get to know 0.0001% of it's knowledge.

    yeah , i'm one of those nuts that thinks rocks,n'such "have souls" . I agreed with many new age thoughts but disagree with probably more than I agree with.

    for example crystals have never 'touched' me. Hahaha?


    thanks for the thumbs down thumbsuckers!

    How would I judge? Well that's tough. I would discuss with experts and what not.

    I'm sorry for the use of "god" in that post. I should have said "Spirit"

    (similar to the "force" in star wars, and well known in the vedas (the true name eludes me for now),but this energy has been referred to "prana' and without it we would die (etc.)

    I can offer a brief physical exercise you can try if u r interested

    Second, if it did, it would be wrong to do so.
    The Earth is a giant ball of rock and iron, with a tiny thin film of interestingly arranged
    carbon, water, and nitrogen on the surface.
    I thought that was one of it's main posits?
    that planets and suns have some sort of life energy beyond that we cant detect ?(presently)

    I'll admit you on the right track in regards to my religion, perhaps even close.

    But since you bought it up I would say that 90% of my "religion" (which is mine and no one else's) is 90% " perspiration" 🙂

    Oh, I would have though it was obvious. Rather childish, but thought provoking for some.

    some of these new young ones that feel some sense of entitlement,

    I can however see, and even relate to your point of view with this matter

    I was clear I wasn't putting a set meaning the question to avoid limiting answers.

    question.
    In other words your thread is meaningless.

    You are not limiting the scope of answers by making the question clear.

    What you are doing by making the question clear is making a meaningful answer possible.
