"in man's world of "EGO" everything IS and HAS to be "relative" - ie. conditional." I explained earlier to our proprietor that all of us take some things on faith. Some take on faith Jesus is a prophet of God and others that science ultimately provides all the answers and both mentalities are identical. We are programmed to question. We are not programmed to have a smirking sneering faith in either science or religion and both fall down because of it. There can be no consensus thinking in something as sacred and innocent as individual thought. "if he doesn't care then he's a self-centered egoist" etc. There is a big difference between self-centered and selfish. "It's that simple. Why look for complicated answers when the simple ones are best?" It's a perverse part of human nature to over-complicate things. "Then the bully kicks butt or does whatever he loves to do - ie. making others miserable, etc." All designed to create self-doubt in others. "I would have done this" "I would have done that" say it enough times and you turn someone into a victim that freezes up before they can make a choice or decision. "Emanuel Swedenborg" Amazing guy and a great inventor as well. newadvent.org
