Yes. A resounding yes. Very grand indeed! > Maybe its the age I'm at but people keep dying and kids keep getting sick, > and children being abused, neglected and killed, that if there was some sort > of force that gave a shit about us, these things wouldn't happen. Doh! Why did I start to wind down, and then find this, the firstest of all "what if"s! :-) Because, silly, if those things didn't happen, worse things would've, just a split second later. =] Mmmm... It's all relative. You can't get from here to there without /something/ changing. Maybe the power of attributing stuff to stuff plays a bigger role than we think-- you know, that old saying "attitude is 90%" or whatnot? The Firefly episode with Jubal Early? Maybe if we all acknowledge the reality (the *same* reality, so it's /real/ likely *wink*), things would cease to be good and bad, and just be. "Being" is pretty cool, if you ask me. Harder to do than you'd think, I reckon. Which is sorta strange, but probably the root of the problem. Mmmm... Can you look at something someone else would consider incredibly ugly and consider it incredibly beautiful? Can Evil ever also be Good? Hmmm... Maybe it's hope. Maybe it's faith. I like to think it's logical. Mmmm... No doubt, if you can take in energy, and transform it to the kind you need, you'll be powered forever, because the only thing that ever really changes, is polarity (sounds deep, neh?). And even that may be a beautiful illusion. Beauty. Hmm... *twinkly-eyed smiles* (smiles ROCK!
