gonzorat- jajajajaja. that guy can really write and spout. sylvester80 is going to have a lot of new material to work with. <vbg> BTW, here's my theory on the people who switch from the topic to attacking the messenger... or the source or something else... i think they've already discovered their "truth". they have nothing left to learn, because they've reached their ultimate decision. they've ceased growing, learning and evolving. they're happy with their "truth" and they want to protect it from change and they want everyone to adopt their "truth" so it will be easier for everyone to proceed on the same wave length. i get stuck in that same rut myself sometimes. the conflicts between us lie in our worldviews and selfviews. someone with the worldview that the universe is basically good and is naturally evolving toward the better is going to have a completely different "truth" than someone who believes that the universe is dangerous and needs man's or a man-made-God's control to conquer or restrain evil from destroying the world. everything we do and every decision we make is "colored" by our worldview or "truth"... which is not really "truth" at all... it's belief, perception, or faith, but we CALL it "truth". we've actually chosen our "truth" by choosing our worldview. people with opposing worldviews as described above are almost always going to be in conflict because almost all actions and decisions that flow from the premise of these two worldviews are opposites. often i wish everyone had the same worldview as i do so we could move forward together but the simple observation of nature tells me that polar opposites are the basic make up and actually the dynamic engines that propel the universe. which leads us to, and actually describes, the "third" world view, that the universe is neither good or bad... it's made of polar opposites, it's bi-polar. that's the engine creating the dynamics that drives evolution. it's the perfect design to be self propelled and constantly expanding, growing and evolving... a "perfect" world? i don't know, i'm still growing. -el yinyang
