I’m Bi-Polar, nuff said! :whacky:
It is part and parcel of this world. Every one of us is getting closer to death each minute, and as far as I know there is no escape. Even when nothing is going wrong, and we feel a sense of well-being, our very sense of things going right presupposed the chance that things could go horribly wrong at any given moment but don’t.This world has a lot of suffering. As I face the next 20 or 30 years of my life, I know that I’ll see even more and more of it. I have 6 children, and,inevitably, tragedy will strike. It’s part and parcel of this world, so it seems…
What’s the difference between an end and a beginning?It’s the First Noble Truth: All things come to an end.
Short answer: attachment. Attachment refers to attachment to something that already exists and that, thus, will eventually cease existing.What’s the difference between an end and a beginning?
Thank you. I liked that answer.Short answer: attachment. Attachment refers to attachment to something that already exists and that, thus, will eventually cease existing.
This sounds a bit like what Alan Watts, non-Catholic philosopher, calls “peripheral consciousness” or “intuition.”Not a sense of doom in the big picture, but I sometimes get a sense of doom while walking on sidewalks, maybe changing my route if I get a bad feeling about a dark alley or something.
That’s a bad example, I can’t put my finger on it, but I have often been able to “succesfully” predict that something bad would happen. Never anything huge, just little things.
Hi again WhiteDove…yes I do feel that we are headed for something…I often refer to it in my writings as “the shadow in the mist” … at times too I can feel that I am on a collision course with something or other. But I do not assert these awarenesses as fact…they could be anything. It is the intermittant persistence of them that annoys intensely. In fact in one of my poems I seem to predict the tsunami . . . I neither state that I did predict it or that I did not but it is certainly there in my poem and predating the tsunami. Spooky stuff is my term for such things!!!Do you feel a sense of impending doom???
You and my son and dh need to get a LIFE!Yes. I feel the Royals don’t stand a chance this season. And the Chiefs don’t look too promising either.

No matter how bad things seem right now, soon you will look back on this time and think that you had it easy.
