our lives and thoughts"

druth Vlodovic: did you have an insight during the pause?
SophiaSharon Larnia: yes, maybe i worry too much :)
druth Vlodovic: I keep thinking I've got to load up a "truthball" with PaB topics and bring it to these meets
SophiaSharon Larnia: a truthball? For me, a topic that ive been thinking about for a hwile, and ask to get other people's

insights
SophiaSharon Larnia: while*
jianping Wumpole: Why do people live, what is the meaning of life
SophiaSharon Larnia: i dont know anything about truths
druth Vlodovic: I try to avoid truth, it obscures reality too much
SophiaSharon Larnia: a very big question!
cala Lacrima: it is difficult to answer it ,every has his thought ,
cala Lacrima: yes
druth Vlodovic: and meaning I avoid as well :) "what is the purpose of purpose?"
SophiaSharon Larnia: a truth ball, unravel like a ball of yarn ^^

SophiaSharon Larnia: youve succedded lol
Alfred Kelberry: :)
Alfred Kelberry: it's a question with many answers
SophiaSharon Larnia: my answers change daily
druth Vlodovic: it's the presuppositions I find corrosive
SophiaSharon Larnia: im thinking i have no purpose, or if i do, its wrapped up in hidden plots i know nothing about
Alfred Kelberry: sometimes i think it's helping others
SophiaSharon Larnia: thats assuming theres someone/thing direcing it all
SophiaSharon Larnia: id like to beleive that
Alfred Kelberry: :)

--BELL--

Alfred Kelberry: *clicks sophia's nose*
SophiaSharon Larnia: maybe human life/interaction is like newtons laws of physics
SophiaSharon Larnia: giggles and wiggles her nose
Alfred Kelberry: :)
druth Vlodovic: how so?
SophiaSharon Larnia: Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external

force is applied to it.
SophiaSharon Larnia: and Acceleration and force depending on the reaction, somehow and
SophiaSharon Larnia: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Alfred Kelberry: funny, it's the example that i gave today talking about the origin of thought :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: funny :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: smiles
SophiaSharon Larnia: i just thought of it after you arrived
Alfred Kelberry: :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Avastu :)
Alfred Kelberry: ava :)
druth Vlodovic: we also have the ability to move ourselves, though that ability is often the result of externalities aswell
Avastu Maruti: hello my friends
druth Vlodovic: hi ava
druth Vlodovic: they say people with a purpose in their lives are happier, I'm not sure why this is, maybe it's just the

more acceptable answer?
SophiaSharon Larnia: right now, the only action that i can think of right now i perform that isnt the result of externalities,

is the need to find food etc.
druth Vlodovic: depends on how you define "external" if you are your body then that is internal
SophiaSharon Larnia: nods
SophiaSharon Larnia: ive often descibesd myself as a head without a body
SophiaSharon Larnia: lol
druth Vlodovic: my body is sometimes me, sometimes not, it's an odd relationship :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: a purpose in life gives you a goal
SophiaSharon Larnia: yes :D
druth Vlodovic: but why would a goal make you more happy than stressed?
SophiaSharon Larnia: depends on the goal
druth Vlodovic: my goal is often to help others, but that is not often a good idea
SophiaSharon Larnia: you can have a 'goal' to caregive your loved one back to health, and feel stressed at al the

unknown procedures and terminology, and feel happy when you are able to do this
SophiaSharon Larnia: out of love
Alfred Kelberry: i think maybe they're happier cause they found it
druth Vlodovic: a uiversal purpose can suggest goals to you, but goals are not really the same thing
Alfred Kelberry: a lot of us keep looking with little luck
druth Vlodovic: I'm off to check on something, have fun guys
SophiaSharon Larnia: bye Druth! :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: have fun
SophiaSharon Larnia: goals and purpose are not the same thing
SophiaSharon Larnia: although it hard to pick them aart
SophiaSharon Larnia: apart*

SophiaSharon Larnia: origin of thought ?
