p.s. I know this is a long convo... but I think its worth the read!
Infinite Love
p.s. I know this is a long convo... but I think its worth the read!
Infinite Love
T: do yo uthink infinite love is possible?
Bi: yes
T: by definition that means it cant be measured
B: that guy u talked about... what he did was just that...
earlier....
T: he was involved in a very bad accident that paralyzed him from the neck down
B: ohhh
T: he was in a wheelchair and had no use of his arms or legs
B: ohpoor thing
T: his wife wanted to care for him and she did for a long time
T: but then.......... he told her she should leave and lead her own life............
they had enough from the disability insurance to hire full time care for him
T: it took over a year to convince her but she finally did leave......
T: thats a good observation
B: he will always love her...or he always loved her...
B: until his end...so that kinda makes it infinite
T: hmmmm
T: just tthinking............. if its infinite there is no end
B: true...
B: but ummm
B: well it all kinda depends on what u believe happens after death
B: if the soul lives on... doesnt his love for too
T: interesting question
T: reincarnation has always fascinated me
B: its very neat...
T: but I have always wondered......... if that is true, do memories go from one life to the next?
B: i think so... but i guess the question is will u ever discover that its there
B: i think there is a loooot of things that are stuck in ur mind even right now that u migt be unaware of
T: there are those that claim that they recognize placces they have visited before
B: i get those deja vus a lot of times...
B: and that kinda really gets me going...
T: really
B: yeah..
B: and then we talked abt it in my world religion class
B: and its really ummm
B: i dunno...ther are just so many questions...most of which will probably remain unanswered
T: that sounds like a great discussion
T: I like the unanswerable questions
T: lol
B: she actually said something soo cool abt the wizard of oz story the other day...
T: so do you beliebe in reincarnation?
B: hmm yeah...i think i do
T: what about the wiz?
B: different bodies...but teh same soul...
B: well ...wait lemme tell u waht exactly she said
B: you were looking for something that was never lost to begin with...but u have to look for it... to realiza that u had it all along...
T: hmmmmmmmmmm
B: i dunno...i just love the paradox
T: yes me too
B: hehe
B: religions are so much cooler than i thought they were
B: and i actually learned things abt my own religion i didnt know abt
B: hehe i guess i missed out a few things by not going to our version of the bible school
B: we are doing buddhism right now... and it is soooo cool
T: it is not jusut religion it is also philosophy
T: it is a way of living your life
B: yeah
T: christianity is all about fire and brimstone and being punished for being bad
B: oh yeah... that i dont like it when religions say that everyoine should be of my religion
T: thats a human frailty
T: that one persons religion is the only "true" reliegion
T: in reality it doesnt matter
B: yeah
T: its the sense of belonging, the sense of a higher order to things
B: i think ppl wshould do what they want to do...but not force it on others... i think thats bull
T: christianity calls it "God" as a person who oversees
T: buddhism I think sees it as "nirvana" as more of a place of a way of arriving at a high men tal state
B: yeah
T: what I find amusing is the whole intelligent design thing
B: whats that
T: oh an outgrowth of the evolution vs creation argument
B: ohhh ok
T: the religious right in this country had to come up with a new theory to force creationism
T: so they are now calling it intelligent design.......... meaning that there is too much order to the evolution of the species that it couldnt happen by itself, it had to be designed by a superior being
B: hmmm
T: school boards in certain parts of the country are trying to outlaw the teaching of biology in favor of religion
B: thats ridiculous
T: there was a case in pensylvania recently
B: ohhh
T: it was stopped by a federal court
B: education should have nothing to do with religion
T: well religion implies thinking.......... and education has everything to do dwit hthinking
B: well but then what religion do u pick
B: there is a loooooot of diversity here
T: its not so much a choice as it is a belief system, and sometimes yo uhave to invent your own
B: hmmm
B: i think ppl try ttooo hard to answer questions that exist abt everything in this world...
T: for me, what I call God is more of a guiding force than a person
T: some questions are unanswerable
T: and that is okay
B: yeah
B: nad maybe some can be answered
B: but its so opinionated...so maybe its better left the way it is
T: yesss perhaps
B: i just cant think of everything around religion...
B: like i cant make all my toughts religion oriented
B: i mean i just belive what i want to belive....
B: and what i belive is a mixute of all kinda religions
B: im not gonna go arund telling ppl im part hindu and part buddhist and part something else
T: ok let me ask you this.... what is love?
B: a special bond..
B: a bunch of diff emotions
B: infinite
B: unexaplainable
T: yes thats it
T: unexplainable
T: infinite really doesnt do it justice
B: yeah..
T: infinite is a quantification
B: its one of those things u cant see...but u feel
T: it means you can measure it, except you cant measure it
B: yeah...true
B: u cant see it...or touch it
B: even though it touches u...indirectly
T: it makaes you want to oopen up
B: what is one of unanswerable questions...
B: because there are so many things
B: like what is love
B: there is so much to it
B: and a lot of it... that u cant put to words
T: and yet your body also responds to it
T: your body controlled by your mind and your thoughts
B: yes...its with u all the time
T: yessss a mysterious force
B: and u know what
B: the best part is...not knowing...
B: maybe ill feel somehjting and discover something new...
B: i duno wehn
B: i dunno if i will
B: but that gray is the fun part
B: the excietement
T: yesss the discovery process

B: adn i think thats why ppl should just leave thing teh way they are..
B: and not mess with it too much
T: tehre will always be those self righteous ones
B: yes we are curiious creatures....
B: but ummm.. i dont know
