Maybe it involves us making a high level state of awareness decision in what we do.. almost to the level of psychosis.. maybe... I don't know... who will ever know.. and those who say they know, whether they be religious, or government, or any other form of agency are just bullshitting, or bullshitting themselves too in the process of BS others... #2 Randomness... Hoy Boy.. this one's kewl.. So.. its like we're all flying by the seat of our pants.. well.. methinx I'm flying with my pants at my ankles on this one hehehehe...um... same point of view.. sometimes we have control... other times we're butt naked as far as power is concerned. Ultimately we can never know... an' anyone who says otherwise needs brain surgery. But its okay to wonder an' guess, jus don' say "THIS IS WHY..." cuz ya wrong :) (human beans don' have the brains to find the truth of these sortsa stuff out... is there a god, or a heaven etc... we cannot possibly know.. all we can do is speculate... an' those who yell in my face, "Jesus loves me and told me everything" needs to be checked up. Maybe I'm too sceptical for my own good... Rich... :) End of the world???? oh no.. I gotta run to CT an' get horizontal!!!!!!!!!! *hug* catchya soon tam :)
