Tot,
Sometimes I truly feel sorry for you. You need a big hug my friend.
May your path become enlightened, before your lessons come full circle.
You seem like a bright chap, but alas you may indeed find your truth....... and that my dear fellow....... would be sad indeed - for YOU.
I can only say, if you were here... i'd give you a big hug... and say "TOT.... you're a wonderfully antagonistic pessimistic individual... yet your musings keep echoing the thoughts of a person long dead already!
: Madame,
: i am. I am. i Am. I Am. I AM. It all means the same in either upper case
: or lower case. It is merely an English affirmation. Living people can
: spout "I AM" til the cows come home. "I AM",
: ultimately, is as impotent as death renders the living.
: Death being defined as the opposite to Life, as Up is to Down;
: lifelessness.
: As many funerals as I have attended I've yet to see the dead vocalize a
: single thing. Why? Because the living are conscious they will die,
: but the dead are conscious of nothing. Therefore the living can say
: "I AM", but only til they cease living:When they cease
: living they say nothing.
: We can capitalize if you prefer??
