Hi John, Nope, don't get it. But I do get Ham, kinda. It would seem that you are working along the lines of cause and effect, or "which came first?". This of course is a paradox without much resolution. Even the Buddhist notion of co-arising leads to a similar logical question. I distinguish between Value and Quality. Quality exists, it is what differentiates. We create value. But, of course this could also go on forever.
So, how about this? Quality pulls value from us. It creates the choices. We couldn't choose if there was no quality difference. I suppose it is a matter of semantics. One could say that the "I" is a quality decision. That is the choice creates the "I". Trying to nail these things down is the problem. Jesus died for your sins, have you forgotten? This last one was tongue in cheek, of course (or was it?). Cheers, Mark On Tue, Nov 30, 2010 at 11:21 PM, John Carl <[email protected]> wrote: > Tim: solid truth.
