What is it sometimes called? Why is it so called? ( A verb is a word which signifies ACTION or BEING. ) "William is attractive." "John is studious." "We are jealous." "Thou art dutiful." "Am I young?" "Was I wrong?" "Have we been wicked?" "Were they penitent?" "Mary has been intelligent." "Washington was patriotic." "The boys will have been dutiful." "Columbus was enterprising." "Their estate was small." "My wife's mother is sick." ( When I say, "I am at home," you know that _am_ is a verb, because it implies being or existence; and since _to be_ means _to exist,_ the verb _am_ has been called the verb _to be._ ) ___ Commentary, Alan Sondheim, corner of Westminster and Empire Streets, Providence, Rhode Island : Of course we know better now, and call any form of the verb "to be" an _action_ that has a _before, during, and after._ Thus, "I am a boy" because "I was a baby" and "I will be a man" and thus we also know: There is nothing which has not a _before_ and _after, since "to be" is always _duration_ and thus one might say only that "God endures" with an understand that there were and will be two other periods, _before God_ and _after God._ This is called _bootstrapping,_ that God in Their Wisdom did create a period _before God_ and that God in Their Wisdom did create a period _after God,_ this creating occurring _during the period during which God endures._ Neither was God before or after, or even during the enduring, a Young Person or a Middle-Person or an Old-Person, since during the enduring it was _as if_ the enduring were Eternal, with the exception of course that God drew the Boundaries Before and After Themselves. __ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
