Man changing himself sounds as likely as a babe changing its own diapers. Can a leopard change its spots? And what is change? Change in patterned and unpatterned Quality is continuous and illusory, both at once. If anything is illusory, it is this thing called "change". > , of course, I think patterns, not things.

By consciously being Quality. > > You seem to think Quality is a good thing, but most people on this forum attribute no intrinsic goodness to Quality. That's too idealistic. Improvement? What is improvement? Why does the world need to improve? Why does a man need to consciously be Quality? What does that even mean? Nobody knows. Everything we do and say and share is just words meant to make us feel better about the crap we are in. Maybe I should just go sit on a hot stove for a while till my butt burns. Then I can knowingly make a Quality decision to get off and improve the world that way. Nothing much else seems to lead anywhere meaningful. Sigh. Sorry. I am in a mood. I should probably not inflict it upon others. That would probably help the world.
