Essentially you're forced to posit a malevolent god, against which you cannot win. [/quote] How familiar are you with your own coping skills...just for sake of understanding your reasoning...if you don't mind answering a personal question... [/quote] can you elaborate on your question a bit? [/quote] Well...are you the type to wallow in your own self pity or do you recover from situations of downfall quickly...you know, your coping skills, how you process emotions when bad shit happens to you? Like how quick can you get over stuff without wasting your days in unproductive emotion like suffering and misery? Hope that's more clear... [/quote] Well that really depends on the circumstances. In general, I get up on my feet quickly. [/quote] Yes, circumstances factor in quite a bit...as does the difference between physical capability (getting up on ones feet quickly) or mental capability (coping/emotional processing). Knowing how you react to a volume of different things helps you see those paths thru obstacles that can increase your processing ability...which is why LIVING and EXPERIENCING things is so important.

"The REAL you...is not a puppet which life pushes around.
The real deep down YOU, IS the WHOLE UNIVERSE.
YOU are SOMETHING the WHOLE UNIVERSE is DOING...
in the same way that a WAVE is something the WHOLE OCEAN is DOING."
