2. I actually understand that concept, and wish her well.
Edited on Thu Oct-07-10 11:18 AM by RandomThoughts
Although I posted that story awhile ago.

It is a spiritual concept, and in that it is true for many people.

Anyone read the story I posted on that topic.




I did write a story that is a moral Outer Limits story that can explain love your neighbor concepts with a story of everyone being the same person, although it is metaphor to speak of concepts of all being creations of God.

The story was about a guy allowed to live life over and over, so he chose to be kings, industrialist, and people of much luxury, in the story he always saw a look in the eye of the people he mistreated, and never understood the compassion and sadness, he figured they deserved it.

Then one day when going to live another life, he had no more good lifes to pick, and realized he would have to live all the bad lives also, every one of them, and that is when he started to try and make the world better.

Love your neighbor as yourself.

Beautiful story as metaphor I think, and I have nothing against O'Donnell, except that I disagree with the concepts in much of the Republican party as they are shown on TV.

In my view, a person is not judged by the hand they are dealt, but how they play it, and that is true in poker also.


On the 'character' idea that could come from that.
I avoid delusions like that, since if it was true that people were 'characters' I would set them all free and not control any of them, since that goes against my beliefs, so I do not fall into that trap of thinking someone is a 'character'
