The way I figure it,

..if you can successfully let go of the past, you're either dead or unborn, whichever comes first.

is it...

...positive affirmation, or negative denial?

Amazing

It's amazing what you can do when you have no choice.

PBSD

I am suffering from Post Birth Stress Disorder.

who's your author

We classify the moments we are to enjoy experiencing and distinguish them from those we aren't,

but we are never the authors of our own classification systems.

Question

We must always remember to question, especially those whose authority derives from their prosperity

Less

If not just because almost everyone else expects more from you,

I expect less.

How to be rich

There are two ways to be rich.

One, is to control as much as possible so that it goes your way, and the other is to be as content as possible with whatever comes your way.

The former is energy intensive, and occasionally violent.

The latter is, well, crazy.
Trust me, I know!

Second Best is Amazing!

I believe I once read that if one settles for second best, one will get it.

Hell, second best is way more than I'll ever need.

Ends justify the loneliness

It's lonely at the bottom too, believe me.
It's the way of extremes.

But let's not avoid them, 
Great innovation can take place at either end.

Either conscious or not?

I'm not.

What I am, I am not sure.

I'm evolving, sometimes quite unsatisfactorily, to be honest,

I'm not this or that, here or there, now or then, or when.

I'm fluidity.

I've moved about 5,400 kilometers around in the sun in the last few minutes I've been writing, with all those billionths and trillionths we talk about below happening.

But conscious, I'm not.

I'm spinning around the earth's center at 465m/s (1020mph) while orbiting the sun at 30km/s (67,108mph).

Still with billionths and trillionths running the show.

I'm more or less, maybe, but not either-or.

I've moved about 41,400 miles (at 230km/s or 514,495mph) with the solar system around the black hole at the center of the Milky Way since the few sentences above, while billionth and trillionthing.

I'm many things, but either this or that finite, that's categorical thinking as it's called, and I'm not either or of either of them, or.

I'm billions and trillions of millionths and billionths of billionths and trillion trillionths spinning and falling.

Twirling.

Either and or when put together in that order are bad words. You shouldn't say them at the dinner table, or around elderly people, or young children.

Who, or rather, what, am I?

I am 7 billion-billion-billion atoms;
I am 37.2 trillion cells;
I am 10 million biochemical processes happening every second, in each of the 37.2 trillion cells;
I am 100 trillion bacteria;
For every gene of me, are 100 bacteria genes;
I might therefore in wonder ask, who am I?
Or is it, what?

Home Page

Think about yourself as a home page, and imagine what happens when people click on you.

What do they find inside?

sure,

why not?

era free

If we define ourselves by conventional moral forms, we are never more than our eras.

How is it,

that you get more and more beautiful every day?

"God bless us, everyone"

In Dickens' "Christmas Carol" we learn that in reflecting upon our mortality

we become universally compassionate.

i represent this space...

It seems the only real accurate statement we can ever make about ourselves, barring no observation at all, is "I represent this space in the evolution of the universe." 

Doubt

The origin of doubt is doubt.
