Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Think there's such a thing as the past? I'll bet anyone here that they actually cannot remember the past at all. Take this test and see. (1) What was the weather like three months and five days ago? (2) What were you doing last Tuesday at 6:17 PM? (3) When you were six, who was the first kid you talked to at recess the day you started school in the fall? (4) On Sept. 11 2001 (a memorable one?) how many times did you turn the sink on that day? (5) *Yesterday* how many times did you turn on the sink? I submit you cannot remember the past. Just brief, isolated and dim flashes, and half the time no idea why you would even remember those things. Quite a thing on which to base your existence as a complex person with a rich and detailed past. Heheh... Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace. you aren't a complex person.. and you don't have a rich nor detailed past. this explains your inability to grasp.. the more entailed existence experienced by intelligent whole people. we however find your experiments in thinking and writing interesting. this last bit of yours is exceptionally amusing. we are rating it right up there to fifth place! you're improving. ..b b.b.

Correct - there's no person here at all, nor any past. > this explains your inability to grasp.. True - grasping and clinging are always of the person.

It's just fun spouting :-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just fun spouting :-). and it's fun telling you how useless and boring it is too... your spouting off that is. and actually no one does care anyway. it's just more pointless jetsam and flotsam flowing along the banks. it's funny shit! ..b b.b.
