'The forgivable conceit' friend is in your court. I am not going to waste my time pointing it out further how the speed of change today is not only bringing in new innovations in technology,...

I thought I would put forward this additional comment on the word 'controlled'.

We are all very much controlled today. We, and children, are controlled' but by a different means, and towards a...

The following was a response to Jane Chan's comment.

I cannot speak for other nations, but certainly for Britain, the real change came not from J M Barrie's time but from the WW2 especially as...

Sorry, it cut the title short. It should have said from Barrie and contemporaries. I can't find a way to change it. I was trying to avoid it being reposted to the 'author's section. And I have not...

First, thanks for your kind words 'Blaze'. No one has the answers, and I doubt ever will. By that, I mean the answers to whether it is all one big 'accident' without any reason to be, other than as...

The question you should be asking, perhaps, is why just about everyone sees God as some being with the chacteristics of a human- usually a 'He'. (They rarely admit to this, but shy away from giving...

I have been giving the matter some thought, as it has begun to interest me.

Not all animals have tails, but like all animals they have a spinal column, of sorts. Some have a very small tail which...

I can see this as a possiblity. There could be another, and both could be possible at the same time. There is a small island that lies between England and Ireland called the Isle of Man, and their...

Anastasija, If I read correctly, you are just 17 years old, and you are from Eastern Europe so your native language is not English. Therefore may I compliment you on your English.

I feel you will...

The really scary part is not wrestling with what we have at present, and how life is now, but what is only just a little way down the road. The speed of change (even in the climate) is accelerating...

I believe many voices (mainly from the older generation) have been raised. But then, there are always some who like fighting lost causes.

I am surprised that a 20 year old thinks your way. Perhaps...

What is life, if so full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare


(and express ourselves in silly posts, that few will read)


For the few who may not be familiar, here is the rest

Auriga, Many will think as you do, and it is understandable.

With practically all change there are positives and negatives. And these are not always accepted as the same by everyone. What some may...

Thanks for your constructive comments, such were not unexpected.
I understand well the point you are making and will address it shortly.

Is the computer the same today, as it was just a few years ago? Will it be the same in five years as today's state of the art model? Of course not, we know there will be an improved change, even if...

When we use a 'quote,' and in your case, where it was used as a kind of footnote below your main post, then we must read it as stated. That is what I did.


If there is something additional by...

Not sure how you intend this to relate.



Then you have never really read Shakespeare, or you don't understand philosophy, or both.



I know lots of humans who don't sing a (is there...

Ah! these poets. Unlike Shakespeare, they do not all shine with their philosophical offerings.

Surely, to each person their life is their reality. Reality, as with everything, is personal to the...

Yes, this is how I used to think. At least it is how I used say I thought. However when I thought about it more deeply, I saw something different,

It is thoughts of tomorrow that gives value to my...

MazHur, we could fill the thread with pages of articles that would 'throw light
on the subject'. That is if we take that 'light' as just another someone's idea from their 'imagination'.

Taking...

MazHur,

First I am not in the least bit 'confused'. Not the least. I also have been blessed with the intelligence to know what you meant by ' the other world'. And I would say that probably most...

You need to do some serious 'thinking'. Without 'IMAGINATION' you can't even begin to contemplate and discuss any of it.

While we are on the subject of this...

Why do you say 'new' ones? They are not new. We don't have to use our minds to think of new ones, What 'new' ones did I invent? Were they new to you?

I think I indicated in one of the posts that it is difficult with a thread like this to know where it begins and ends. It presupposes so much.

It calls upon imagination, and imagination calls upon...

When you think that once, in the beginning, this earth was a ball of fire. There was no life, no water, all was fused together in the intense heat.

Everything that is here today...
