Aw, cute little rabbit stranded in a flood...


description given:

This poor rabbit is stranded on a pond overspill. I don't know how long he has been there. We have gotten over 6 inches of rain since lastnight from a Tropical Depression and it's still raining. I'm sure he's going to be there longer since everything around him is flooded.

2. yeah, I do presume it was better for him before he was surrounded by flood waters...
Is that a preposterous assumption?

3. I understand you now. You take the opposite of the (so called) obvious vew.
That's why I like you. One reason.

You are a cool poster man. I trip on your most more than any other DUer I know.

4. I don't think of it as opposite.

I think of it as illuminating contradictions, since they break down cognitive disodence.

Although it is not my idea "See the world from a different view."

So it is not a new view of how to look at things. It helps to break patterns that never made any sense, but we follow because we haven't thought about what they are about.



I also think it is actually possible to break the curse of original sin, by trying to learn what the knowledge of good and evil is about, I think it is about judgment from a flawed bias, then not take that view in your life. I really think that curse can be broken also. I think it is broken by unconditional love.

Although I like to think it is being taught to break it, not really me doing it, so it is about education and learning also.

And I will have beer and travel money some day, and many experiences. :)


And it is possible to still have justice, and unconditional love, by loving someone even as you help them and people around them with some of the forms of justice used in an imperfect world.


Part of that is in this song.
The Moody Blues - Nights In White Satin´67

Side note, there are many ways to see that song...

He's kind of endearing, isn't he?

8. It is ok with me if you think they are just
A Random Thought

I actually can see the post from many different ideas of what might be, they need a component of thoughts on what existence might be, to fit them together.

Like that song, it could have many meanings, but in all of them it is of love, but still has a paradox in it.
