Okay, then between the two of you, what are you trying to say here? I'm a liar or what? I don't think so, but am unclear on what you are trying to convey. I simply saw this while googling images and thought it was sorta cool and chose to post it here. edit - I understood top - that one's wrapped up and I shouldn't have said 'between the two of you...' - to be clear. The person who made the picture would be the liar. You're just spreading a Meme. Yep...The way I figure it now, Einstein would've had to be rather superstitious to say something like that. So, it's probably a fake.

I'll take it! Sounds beautiful for bad poetry ~ my favorite kind. obligatory warning for all those that get offended easily There once was a man onehandclapping I thought he would be silent, but I heard fwapping I peeked through the door And my jaw hit the floor When I saw what he was slapping. Hahaha. I'm sure such eloquent words haven't been uttered on here before. ;-)

Before it eats it forms a thought, A thought that finds a keyboard's spot, Where fingers press and eyes behold, A lie about the truth, unfolds. For words and thoughts just can't touch, The truth about "what is your lunch?", So take a bite and let it speak, That which is the thing you seek.

I drive by it many times - the Jack-in-the-Box where I used to drop my son off early in the morning before he went to work at the nearby supermarket. This time, my son scritched at my heart, and felt Sadness creeping in. Now that I'm home from my errands, I'm wondering if he was trying to get in but I thought to myself: he's already in my heart.
Well, maybe when the Sadness hits, the Sadness is crowding the inside of my heart and soul, and no room for him.....?! I don't know quite how to get rid of this Sadness when it is the one that seems to be visiting me, but maybe it's there all along, like a squatter in an abandoned house? I'd really like less Sadness...and more Sean, but how? I'm not quite sure.

I'd really like less Sadness...and more Sean, but how? I'm not quite sure. Silver, I am hesitant to send this quote, if you feel it is not appropirate I will delete it. Despite some harsh expressions I think it is a good attitude (described). I mean of course imo sadness is not a fault.. "Feeling is much less dependent on the physical body than sensation and much less dependent on the external world than thinking. Those who are dead, if they have any possibility of development, have much more of a feeling life. That is why what we can do for the dead is from our feelings. It is quite rightly and correctly taught that we should not grieve for the dead. Someone near to us who has died will feel our grief as their own and this is a terrible burden for them to bear. What they need to feel is love and confidence and all the positive emotions that we can transmit. This is the duty we have to those who have died: not to allow ourselves the self-pity of grief, because they will suffer for it, but to be in a state of positive feeling to give strength them strength. (...) The connection with someone who died fifty years ago is as close as the connection with someone who died five minutes ago in the inner world." from Deeper Man by JG Bennett

I appreciate your thoughts.

On the contrary -- it is of great help because you cared and reached out even though I'm a stranger -- cared enough to share a little something from your heart.

OK. I am not defending anything. You were writing things like essence continues but the person disappears? I am not sure. Everyone thinks differently.
