i think that's a real possibility, but as we don't yet understand a greater order [outside of the feeling of being part of the 'great work' and a step in the evolution of everything] i think we're more animal than we understand, and should try harder to live in balance with our environment while taking steps to grow beyond the planet and set a goal that humanity can get behind.

They say that chaos is just order that we don't yet understand.... One day all of this will make sense, but that day will be long after we here are all gone. I'm sur of that.

the universe is full of chaos. and chaos is basically good. the human's inability- and i believe it is an artificial inability, grown out of some of the sillier parts of society- to deal with chaos and change will only breed problems. people need to relearn how to cope with life and float on the chaos.

i completly get wot he's saying but i understand nothin about it.. as in i can see he's completely right but its hard to get my head over it!
JimGrimReaper (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
I'm not sure that we should, but then again...
Efferts (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
You say that as if we shouldn't be punished for it.
JimGrimReaper (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
That we aren't good at dealing with uncertainties, that is.
JimGrimReaper (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Are you sure ?
