It makes no sense to gauge the "value" of another by their origin, the shape, sex, or colour of their being, the level of aquired knowledge that they have papers for, the milieux in which they find themselves, or, most importantly, what they believe; but measure the breadth of their sanity by what they do.
BGW, Sometimes, how a person acts may look sane, but can hide what most of us may consider insane. c.i.
reality
BOGOWO, I should go back to find the connection, but have you changed the subject? That's one mystery; the other is that C.I. answered you.
"Reality is" never having to say you're sorry.
reality
Don't apologize; just feel guilty.
guilt
Are you Catholic, C.I.? You've heard the saying "Jews invented guilt, but Catholics perfected it." ? I was raised a catholic (my formative years). Now (well less now than in the past) I could feel guilty alone on a desert island. I'm always resisting/challenging it. At least I'm not a psychopath.
jl;
I have held a panel with twelve others who we all trust, and our decision:
"NOT guilty" !!
jury
I can't put into words, jury of my peers (take no offense please), how much this means to me.
Not raised a catholic, but started as a buddhist, then protestant.
religion
C.I., Full circle, huh: buddhism-protestantism-atheism.
Remember, Buddhism is neither theistic nor diestic.
"buddhism" has a nice ring to it;
sounds like something interesting is about to grow forth from it...........
Buddha was a Indian prince.
ci
Ya skipped agnosticism???
Bad move.
FA, Probably along the way, there might have been a time when I was an agnostic. I just don't remember that, but it would seem a logical sequence. c.i.

Especially if you had stopped there! ;-}
(Sorry, I couldn't help myself!)
famerman's avatar is biting something last time i checked it did not have animations so what is the reality in that?
For sure, reality is what's left out by our senses. What they don't detect. So the question is if we can ever reach it?
