Metaphysics or even ordinary physics is fine when you are in the mood for it.Honestly I am not in the mood right now. Something drags me inexorably towards that statement about forgiveness and detachment. I have seen all the comments about forgiveness as well as detachment. How does one learn to forgive? Is forgiveness an acquired trait? Not many people can forgive or forget. And they are the ones who do rpretty well in life. In this life I mean. So how can forgiveness be good. Assuming that life ends with death, what does forgiveness fetch.

Hi, Loner. I hope you are feeling well. :-)
I never believed in the Big Bang theory or evolution. I don't like to call myself a religuous person because there are thousands of different religions in the world. I don't like to affiliate myself with any church (I don't go to church anymore)because churches are not where I get my faith from.

I do believe what the Bible says. I read the King James Version because it's the only one that is closely translated from the original transcripts of Hebrew, Greek, and Arabic. I beleive the only way a person can truly forgive another person is if it's given by God. Without interception from God (my God is the Lord Jesus), mankind would destroy themselves. Forgiveness is a great thing.

Because of God's forgiveness, He provided Himself as Savior for His people, the believers. Without that, the entire human race would be destined for hell. Yes, I do believe in life after death. Heaven for the saved and hell for the unsaved.
I don't mean to sound like a preacher because I am far from being innocent.

On another note, forgiveness helps us to get past the pain, and move forward. Unforgiveness is like keeping a grudge. It isn't good to keep anger and hurt bottled up inside. It usually explodes into something ugly, or worse, violence.

rain, I have this tendency to wander in my posts. One about Bnags, big or small, and then about forgiveness. It depends on what affects me most on that particular day. Sometimes, actually, quite often these days, I cannot help wondering what it all means. You know. This thing called life. What the heck. Things have to go on, right.
What you said is absolutely right. Pain and hurt must find some way out. better a blog than a gun, huh !!

Rain. I am really glad you are taking a vacation. The BOSS is bad, (Burn Out Stress Syndrome). I read your posts regularly, and I find the situations disturbing even me, although you are the one on the spot!

I am sure those gene handlers will come up with something for the BOSS, but till then, it is good old Nature to the rescue. And you know what, I would prefer Nature to having someone poke around my genes !!

I am also glad you got your computer fixed.

The Tree

The tree was fine when I saw it last time. I don't quite recollect how long ago that was. I do recollect the tree was fine. Now I see it again. All shrivelled up, The glorious leaves gone, So too the pride. It looks old, Maybe feels old, wasted, useless What happened to you, old friend? What bolt of destiny struck you down. I doubt you will ever hold that head up again Against the sky, against the wind, against time. But don't you worry. We are with you. Shrunk, shrivelled, shaken down No matter. We are with you.

Today was not particularly bad as days go. I had my usual share of being alone. Deep in the madding crowd. Sometimes I wonder who among the multitude teeming around me are actually of my special category - loners. We don't tell each other you see. And when we do tell, we use odd names, hmm. like loner2. My other life, the one everyone assumes is my real one, went off as usual. The same old crowd. The same old nonsense uttered all around. Everyone pretending to be the best guy or gal on the planet. Man, it is quaint. Oh, I forgot to mention this one. I need to tell about my dreams. Some people would call them nightmares. So brace yourself for some weird posts. Most of them are going to be disjointed, 'cause like most people I don't remember the dreams in full. But unlike Plato, I do know they are dreams. Maybe they ARE dreams. In fact I believe they are dreams. Just dreams.

Maybe loneliness implies detachment. This is not what an old comment on this blog says. It says loners are basically asocial beings with some hidden grudge in thier minds. I don't think so. May be there are loners of that version out there. But detachment is the phrase that has been on my mind for some days now. The true meaning of detachment is way beyond me. Embracing emotions, experiences. I don't know. May there is something in that.
