Dear Jack:

Any time you disagree with me, is fine with me. I like you whether you agree or disagree with me just the same. Whenever you don’t feel like discussing anything anymore, like on the other thread this evening- that is fine with me. i will let it go!

I am all for forgiving ourselves, yes, I am. All for patting ourselves on the back. I also think of life as a kind of survival show: every evening I say to myself (I do): I have THIS evening and maybe I will have tomorrow morning. And this is all I have and all I ever had. When I was 20, and it was evening time, all I had was that evening and maybe the morning after.

I am also all for FRESH EYES and (some) goals. I like your goal – to make a difference to someone’s life. Interesting- didn’t I post too you this very evening that I was doing IST while on my walk? So with your IST and you standing up for me on this very forum, I assure you that you made and are making a difference in my life! So there, goal achieved with this tiny buddha member.

The truth of an incident is only ONE. An accident that happened, happened only ONE way. Different witnesses will give different testimonies because of all the distortions they perceived about the accident. It didn’t happen in the five different ways described by five witnesses. It happened one way only.

And so about anything- lots and lots of people are authors of fiction.

Please feel free to disagree with me anytime, Jack. And feel free to stop our exchanges when you get tired of those at any one time (I do go on and on and on with my thinking…)
