The world is a frenetic, perhaps evil place in a constant state of flux. What do you take comfort in, to deal with this? |

I can't really say for myself, but it looks like you have been reading a lot of Monoid lately. |

Who is to say what is evil? I don't believe the universe is sitting there judging people by how many evil acts they do. In nature you are either predator prey or parasite. Predators are smaller in number than prey because if the predator outnumbered the prey the prey would become extinct. They aren't evil, they are doing what they are designed to do. Parasites won't differentiate between predator or prey. Well thats not totally true, a lot of parasites feed off of a specific species of animal. But most parasites will live off a host and die without affecting the hosts ability to stay alive. Prey kind of just walk around doing their thing until they get attacked. Predators are required, because if prey animals are allowed to proliferate too much, they destroy their ecosystem. |

"A branch of mathematics, a monoid is an algebraic structure with a single, associative binary operation and an identity element"? Not really anything like what I was talking about. :s But it was interesting to read about that. |

I agree with the first paragraph. I don't have such a didactic view towards things to belive that there is good and evil. There are just a load of shades of grey. I only said something about evil, because for the sake of this thread it makes it simple to convey what I mean. The way you talk about all the rest is subjective. In human society things are too complex to be separated into three catergories. |

does theology hold any argument against science? Really? There are things we can't understand, furthering the need for discovery and realization, which you can't get by reading a bible for the rest of your life. So science really is the only practical religion. yeah i used to think like good and evil, but then i slowly realized that people are just people and they do what they want to get what they want, even when they don't see the outcome it may bring. Like ever hear that saying of the boy helping the butterfly by shedding its cacoon for it? Then the butterfly is weakened because of it didn't build its own potential strength to break free from the cacoon. So the person thought he was helping the butterfly, but in reality made it helpless. I just try and do what i can to live my life the way i want to without getting angry about the assholes who also live on this earth, cause in the end, this is your life. |

I like the way you think, mister. :) And no, I had never heard of that butterfly story, but it was an interesting one and effective for expressing your point. |

although, i think the negative a person spreads in this world consciously, does cause a reap-what-you-sew type outcome. I guess i do think karma is a universal attribute, like the way energy is circulated. To me life reminds me of the photography process, it's like our lives are the data processed when taking a picture and are imprinted on a film, and after our death, our data is rinsed with solutions that produce the picture that can be interpreted as a final outcome. or something. I have to write a grant proposal for class and i am procrastinating. I hate my life. |

Whatever you are trying to say, I'm sure your life and 'data' will have no bearing on the future. |

it's hard to explain, but when you take a picture, the data that is gathered is dispersed to produce an image that shows a moment in time. If you think in terms of the 4th dimension, our lives are little bleeps in the existence of our universe. Little snapshots that we can consciously interpret as our lives. I was using 'data' with the analogy of photography. And the future is a word that states there are events in which have not happened yet thet will eventually play out, which i never mentioned anything about. I'm talking about Life and consciousness, the abiltiy to interpret and understand. |

Human societies really aren't that complex, we are just arrogant enough to think they are. |
