“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
Socrates (470 – 399 BC)
Innocence
Without any research or conferences with others, I have concluded that time does not flow in a line, called the Horizontal Plane by theorists.
I believe that time is everywhere; we are immersed in it. It's analogous to a grain of sand suspended in the center of a ubiquitous ocean. The water represents time, the grain of sand...all else.
My theory allows for twists, turns and changes of direction of mobile entities whereas their straight line theory does not. Their supposition is that everything moves helplessly in the same direction.
Because they too can only guess about time, is there any reason why my guess is any less valid than theirs?
Tranquility
John Adams
The US was not founded upon Christianity
It was not George Washington as many people think but John Adams, one of the key Founding Fathers and the second president of the United States, who in 1797 confirmed and signed the Treaty between the US and Tripoli in which appears the significant statement (in Article 11)
"...the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion."
When is now? It was just here, "now" it's gone. Does now actually exist?
To qualify as a civilized society, it must have written rules on how it can and cannot kill its neighbors.
My god is the only true and merciful god. If you disagree with me I will kill you, rape your women, make your children my slaves and pillage your village.
The purpose...
...of life
I believe it.
It may not be true, but I still believe it.
The speed of light is seven million miles per hour.
