I'm not sure that I understand what you're trying to say withthe last point. Death is merely a hypothesis.i can agree that you wouldn't understand in you #3 point. simply because you are self assured that you are only a taker. i am here to tell you that that is just not the case. you have been taken from, equally.as to the other points; mere points of convenience. not based in your actual truth. is it?
1. On your view of reality, perhaps. We all seem to have ourown mystical faiths.2. For the most part. Just trying to express things in terms whichrelate to the mundane, which we do seem to share SOME commonalityof perception of.
Does it frighten you, that I find what yousay sounds like what I would have said whenyounger and wiser?
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Not beliefs. You've revealed little of yours.Mine haven't changed TOO much. Ratherthe words themselves, and the veils surroundingthem.
Indeed. I was never certain of thereason for my own veils, except thatmy ideas aren't fully formed, and wouldbe subject to dissection and ridicule. Now,I just don't care, as revealing them is the onlyway I can be bothered to refine them.
maybe i am wrong, and you haven't been playing, but have actually been real.
The only differences between how I felt about life and existence when i was younger versus now is that I actually have real evidence of my irrelevancy to the world.
