Wouldn't it be great that if just once for a moment in time

[old steel]

Everything was alright.

[Twisted Titan]

It is.

Why I say that?

People are going to learn many things and i can think of two real quick.


People are going to learn appreciate how good THEY HAVE IT.
People are going to learn appreciate how good THEY HAD IT.

...but it never will be, unless we learn to accept what is here.

And that "acceptance" does not mean condoning, or agreeing with what is here, nor does it mean not trying to change what is here. It means accepting it as what is here now. It means you don't have to change it right this second.

For example, some day I will die. That is what it is. Some people are driven nearly mad by that simple fact, but I am not. I cannot change it, so I no longer think about it, because thinking about it is self-inflicted pain, and to no end. Why should I spend my time inflicting pain on myself, agonizing about things not being the way I wish they were? What is changed by that? Only one thing is changed, and that is I am in constant pain. Nothing else changes.

everything is as it should be... thats just a very tough free will experiment we all go through.

Dont you mean that if the world was run by people we trust instead of sick pedophiles ...................

Yep, everything is as it should be, because that's how it is.

I know you meant greedy, control freak, sick pedophiles, i know you did.

[Serpo]

I dont agree everything is as it should be as it is going to be some ones responsibility to change things around.

they either spiral us down into a dark vortex of their creation or we spiral up into the light , the light within.

I see what you mean but in the greater scheme of all schemes, yes... we were born to learn about freedom vs fears


What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.

Glad you brought it up, sorta like karma!

We are born into our lives, and we learn,or most of us!
As we age as we make mistakes we learn from, ( some do) others repeat the same.

We spend a lifetime learning what is right and wrong. Some take the lessons and grow others repeat their mistakes.

All our lives as we live we are challenged, some learn some do not!

Why?

For most that heed they learn, not by taking on faith what others say but by life's lessons and doing/ seeing themselves!

As some grow older ,wisdom comes into play, and some grow wiser in life by hard lessons!

So we are born,live and die! Other than procreation why live longer? To teach they that come after mistakes not to repeat?

Yes some listen and others need to learn the hard way.

I for one think that there is something after death! We are here to learn call it lessons our soul's learn and move on to , what who knows?

I for one am not afraid of death, have had clues that there is more! But cannot explain why.

Not afraid either, but the only thing I pray and hope for, is to die honorably. I don't know if that makes any sense in these crazy days we have.

I can't explain why as well.

I want to go to the next adventure the right way.

[old steel]

Once you realize you have been this way before you just have to hope you're not on one eternal flat circle.

If you were looking down from 4D that is what it would look like.

Yep, everything is as it should be, because that's how it is.

Folks sometimes say "it's not a perfect world"...

The world is indeed perfect, as it continues to exist. There is a difference between "perfect" and "ideal".

"Ideal" is a subjective, temporary condition.
