Equality?

[TantricSoul]

This is, if you'll pardon the expression, horseshit! It implies a supernatural/metaphysical/undefinable/magical thread linking us one to another, without providing any evidence for such a thread. We must take it on faith, just because someone says so? I think not!

Thorne, my friend, of course I will pardon the expression. After all, you saying my thoughts and opinions are horseshit is simply reaffirming what I've known for such a long time… that I have a fertile mind.

While we may all be a part of the whole, it does not necessarily follow that we are all an equal or integral part. The universe has a way of tossing parts aside haphazardly, to the benefit of some and the detriment of most. Which side of the equation you end up on is mostly a matter of luck.

So what I get from your post is that you agree we are all part of a whole, yet you see / feel no connection between us. An interesting viewpoint.

"Which side of the equation you end up on is mostly a matter of luck."

Yes i agree... the material inequalities between us human beings is rarely really about hard work, equal opportunities, or laziness. Far more influential upon our lives is luck. I would like to believe, that while life is not fair, that we as a race have enough humanness within us to seek and create that fairness.

Yet instead what I witness most prevalently is the ridiculous concept of self importance. As if, somehow, being luckier than someone else equates to being "better" or more deserving.

Respecfully,
