Re: Disorder of some kind??

I'm slow. :)


Balderdash! :-) You sound like you move at just the right speed to me.

But aren't what makes life worth living?


Hmmm. Thank you for asking Toby. Your question gave me the opportunity to briefly meditate on this question for myself. What came to mind after a short internal examination were questions of my own. Do I need emotions to make life worth living? Do I need anything at all to make life worth living? Curiously, the “answer” to those questions for me was no. I looked out my window and I noticed the trees swaying in the wind and I experienced a sense of uplift. I took a deep breath and was filled with gratitude for merely being alive, to notice, to feel, to see, to hear. I am surrounded by so much love too! Everything, and I literally mean everything, is a gift to me right now. Do emotions make life worth living? Sure they do. But so does their absence. So does a leaf dancing on the concrete as the air moves it to and fro. So does the laughter of friends and the arguments of family. I could go on and on, but you get the gist. The entirety of the universe itself, precisely as it is in this very moment, makes life worth living to me.

Thanks once again for asking Toby! Your question helped me to really lift my spirits from peaceful to joy!

Re: Disorder of some kind??

Thats probably the best answer I've ever been given to anything - EVER.
Just looking over some peoples posts here, I cant help but feel sympathy for them (I'm probably the only person I know who can feel sympathy for serial killers)
I just cannot comprehend how even lacking conscience they can so easily just not care about others. You know?
And thanks, If only I got a thanks everytime I asked a question on here I would be so happy.
Thank you for you reply. Must go its 2 in the morning here :)
PS: Re-reading that just noticed how you sound like a poet... (Not meaning to be offensive)
