Are You Certain?

This week’s question is on certainty. “Do you have any certainty? I mean, sometimes you say, ‘Im not saying it is or it isnt, or that its right or wrong.’ Is this because you just want others to see the solution for themselves, or is it that you really have no way of knowing?”

We’ll see if we can find the words.

Walking to the mirror, someone is seen staring back. Those features are familiar, but the recognition cannot be built into an experience to be had, or a static sheet of info for later reference. It is a unique being that stares back. It is [...]

What is Your Point of View?

NOTE: This post is one of the first I ever wrote. I recently found it on my computer along with other somewhat interesting writings. I have no idea who asked the question (I can’t remember), but thanks, whoever you are.
