Eventually it'll all go away, and we'll have to answer to a higher power. That's why I think things will work themselves out (though it will be a tough road).

But that leaves us without responsilbilty while we are alive. At least I can contribute. Or die trying.

Most of you're posts and comments make me misty eyed or really warm. lovekitten08 August 19 2004, 16:11:01 UTC

Thats what I use to say.

My interest now has passed from the environment and poltics to people who are mentally disturbed, or more specifically, girls who have eating disorders.

We live in a cruel, ugly world most of the time. But then sometimes you get suprised with some much beauty that you either cry or just stand in awe shocked that you were wrong. So wrong.

I would like to say that you are one of those people that shocked me. I hope life is treating you well.

We still have responsability. Think of it this way: when you perform a dive, you know when you're getting in the water, and you know when you're getting out of the water. You don't necessarily know every single action you're going to be performing while actually in the water (though you might have a general idea).

Now, since you have a grasp on the beginning and end of the action, does that mean that any movements that occur during said action are insignificent? Not at all; in fact, the events that occur during the action-period are vital to the eventual finale.

So we are left, not with no responsability, but rather with even more responsability (to achieve the end result which we were made to do).

refering to the last sentence, on the other hand, when we were children, we didn't really know what was falling apart or being destroyed at the time... and if we did have the knowledge, i'm sure there was never a full understanding. We can look back now, or even at the present, and understand how badly things are going, and how one thing will effect us 100 years from now. But as children we don't know this. Thats the beauty of childhood. Its care-free. We worry about being fed, and having toys, and making friends, and our mommies and daddies.
Don't get me wrong, their actual future, when they are adults, will most likely be worse than ours. But, ya know, thats what parents are for, to do all the worrying for them..

Ture, but that is why I said their future. Even as adults we are always someone's children.
