Dear Murtaza:

I submitted to you my recent post before I read Peter’s most recent reply to you. I want to quote from his reply because it is so very true and insightful (and concrete enough for me to follow):

“Viktor Frankl  argued (and Science backs up) that “Between stimulus and response there is a space.  In that space is our power to choose our response.  In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” He talks only of the possibility. His observation in the concentration camps shows that most will not choose but instead submit to fate. Either way end was the same for those that choose to respond with ‘grace’ or those that gave didn’t. Only the inner experience of the moment was different…

“The past is gone, the end determined, yet there is space between that fate allows us to play with. Why not play? The past is gone, there is no requirement that we hold on to all the cards we were given, especially the ones that only exist as memory. A duality and paradox, Fate and choice existing in the same moment?”-

– A “normie” did not submit the above to you, Murtaza.
