In a Sense

The meaning of life answer is rather simple and straightforward. For those of us who despise it, it is fanciful and foolish. There are many proofs and otherwise. But I believe that merely in its existence of the question, the answer exists. There is no thing in existence without first its thought. And I'm sure there are many rational men and probably women who have said this throughout history. The question is which of them were written down.

See, a boy probably doesn't even consider this as he's growing up through school. I know I certainly did not. But we have a general tendency to associate with our associates without even knowing that we dissociate with others. It is this dissociation as well as the rampant anxiety accompanying dissociation that results in barriers being raised and ever more permanently supporting dissociation. But we are always fearful. Always looking over our backs for fear of being attacked. And what if we weren't? Would we have fear to begin with if fear and its causes never existed? But where does it stop? We are all capable of fear. We are all capable of having a momentary lapse. One of those instances you will regret your whole life. Whatever it is. And most likely that which causes dissociation with the community.

If you could trust yourself not to put yourself in personal danger, you would not be scared by yourself. If you could trust your neighbor just as wholly you trust yourself, you would not be scared when in bunches.
If you could trust your neighbor so much that you loved him so very much that you'd lay down your life in salvation for his life, would you? And what does this mean?

Is this or is this not how to live the lives in your life?

Jesus only asks that we love our neighbors as we love ourselves. It's a balanced state. If we love ourselves more than our neighbors, then we kill our neighbors when it comes down to it. If we love our neighbors more than ourselves, then we live and die so that they may live.

But first. Before you can know what it's like to love your neighbors, you must learn to love a neighbor. You might as well make it a neighbor that has parts that enjoin with yours for lots of fun and stimulation.

Then you have kids. You love your neighblrs.

Then you go to bed. Good night.
