Post your most profound metaphysical statement

[birdman]

Now is your chance to blow our minds with an amazing statement about the nature of reality, the universe, or the being that is man (or anything that you chose). for example, if you dont know what i mean, the notion that we and this world all reside in a god's consciousness, or that we live in an 11 dimensional world, inside or on a membrane, that is surronded by strings.

i think that we are all a bunch of animals, and we should not judge other religions or cultures for being different than us. just like we dont judge certain species of bug who kill after mating. and that includes the horrible way women are treated in the middle east.
that is the way their culture has developed after thousands of years, and just because it is so different than the way i think things should be, it is not up to me or you to judge.
did you guys know that there is a couple tribes in indonesia that have spent untold amounts of time in complete isolation and have developed a completely different culture.
in their culture they think that young boys become men and go through puberty only by taking semen from older men through either anal penetration or orally. all the young men live in a barracks type building and all the older men live in a different barracks and the older men will come in and help the young boys become men by giving them semen.
there are two tribes of these people, the one that gives semen orally, and the one that gives it anally, and they war with each other because they both believe that the other culture is doing things wrong.
at my core i am disgusted by this, i have always thought that pedophilia is one of the most horrible things in society. but when i think about all different cultures of humans as different animals i cannot judge them.
what do you guys think? sorry i typed so much jibber jabber.

Really when I think about it (and as usual, I think way too much), everything is completely and utterly absurd. Say a word over and over again and it loses its meaning and it's just a bunch of sounds.

Oh, cruel world!

If eggs have shells do shells have legs, or do we put this aside and enjoy the ride, knowing full well that we could someday tell, the difference between dreams and life as it seems.

[David_R._Gross]

A complex story, no beginning or end. Fragments of time scattered across the mind reminiscent of a stain glass graveyard; beauty fades…. forgotten; you’ve forgotten. Do Dreams start our day or does our day start our dreams? Your indecision leaves you breathless while the core of anxiety builds to unbound proportions; all fueled by innate curiosity that still puzzles your over stimulated psyche. Wake up and you’ll find a bad taste in your mouth.

Step back
Take a breath
It will all be over soon.

Einstein's theory of relativity over throws the notion of absolute space and time.
If there is no longer absolute time we have to allow, to stay consistent with relativity, the notion that all times exist and still are in existance, i.e., past, present, future.
This is called block theory.
I want to understand, but I do not know where to begin.
I find it much easier believing that some distant past is still in existance in comparison to what i did a second ago; equally so with my future.
looking at moments, when does one end and the next begin?

there is no god!!

To be in the future is to be everywhere in the present.

It's Sunday morning and I can't buy booze. Boy I've got the Blue Law Blues.

i live in las vegas, where you can buy anything anytime of day or night. there are 24 hour grocery stores and wal marts (though I have not been to one since i saw a documentary on wal marts).

whenever i travel somewhere i get so annoyed by not being able to get things at 2am or whenever, it is weird.
