A Collection of Thoughts
Sorry it has been so long, but I have been away with my family. Please forgive me. These are, again, random thoughts I have had during the day that I had enough will power to remember until I had made it to Xanga safely. The first one is about two posts ago.
You could not even see another person’s thoughts, because thoughts are only as we think them. For a thought to be what it is, you have to be the person thinking it. There is no way to receive a thought indirectly.
Most people think of themself as a Necessary. But what is truly wonderful in life is to realize that you are not a Necessary, but yet have still been added to the universe by Love.
Time does not solve things. Things are solved by solving them.
You cannot have a methodical adventure.
Reality has a 100% chance of occurring.
One must deal with the reality of their thoughts just as they must live in physical reality. A person is no more appropriate in saying, “I don’t want to think about it!” than in saying, “I think I shall live outside the world today.”
Understanding is something we can only approach as a limit. As close as we get to understanding another person, the fact remains that the only thing we know directly is our own experience.
A man was not sorry who repeats the crime.
Where there is an absence of conflict, there is an absence of reality.
Remember only to have children if you think life is worth living.
If you haven’t accepted the implications of your beliefs, then you don’t really believe them.
P.S. I probably won’t be able to post soon, although it is possible I might. Here is why: a few weeks ago I suggested a book to a friend, who responded by agreeing to read it if I read the fifth Harry Potter book. What a trap! Of course, I can’t only read the fifth one! So I decided, against the judgment from all my past experience (don’t trust books with mass appeal) to read them all. So I have to get them done by July 21 to be ready and waiting with the rest of the world for the last one, and I have only started last Tuesday, and from what I have seen they just get fatter and fatter as the series progresses.

:] i love it when the explainer makes sense to someone like me. the simplicity of it. no poetry. well its beautiful. its language. to be able to understand. no matter how long or however the distance, is perfect for now.
well phil while time may not solve things it most certaintly can help the solving process and heal things. for example a fight in the morning generally by evening no longer seems so important.
and i CAN’T believe you are going to read all the Harry Potter books. it’s so not philish of you. but on the bright side, the books get fatter BUT the reading level stays the same and they do not take very long to get through. (i’m assuming of course since my sister said so and reads them quickly, I have not read them) good luck!!
Hey, your post is refreshing! Yea, time can alleviate feelings and emotions but doesn’t solve things.
I’m impressed that you memorized all those.
I wanted to leave you a comment. So I’ve been sitting here, with the comment box completly blank. And I still have nothing to say.
So have a great day.
Not bad, except for: A man was not sorry who repeats the crime.
Anyone who believes that has never had a severe physical addiction to something bad.
