"I'm not quite sure how one goes from this logical realization to the action of living as though it was only means that exist (living in the moment) -- but I mean to ferret it out :)"
Actually I came to this exact same conclusion and am trying to ferret out the exact same thing. May we cast our swords aside and make use of this common ground? I think it has a lot to do with linguistics as well. In grammar school you are taught that sentences follow Subject-Verb-Object. This is the dominant sequence. S-V or V are variants. We are taught that actions must have an objective. Setting goals, planning ahead... Aristotle may have screwed us over. Perhaps if he had paid a little more attention to Zeno of Elea, things would be different. http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Zeno_of_Elea.htm l No time, no motion, no matter. You'd think it would be easy to just melt into infinity. What would a society based on infinity be like? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
