Way back in the 70s when dinosaurs roamed the earth, there was a popular singer/singwriter duo called Seals and Crofts, they were Baha'i. Their lyrics were pretty weird. Something about gardens of clove and whatever. It's about knowing there is a Great Someone, but not understanding it.
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.

Then you are way too easily impressed.

And your judgment and arbitrary standards determine what humans ought to be impressed by?

Yes. It's called "Reality."
Look it up.

Your definition of reality is your judgment and arbitrary standards. Good to know.

And your's is a silly old book of primitive horseshit.
It's the 21st century, son. Time to join the real world.

So are you saying we are on even grounds of falsehood and not knowing reality?
Then what makes you so confident in yours?

I don't believe in silly fairy tales from the 7th century, lad. You do.
Seriously, you have been here a long time and I have seen the quality of your thoughts and writings decline significantly. You have crossed the line into delusion and obsession. I have joked before about you needing to see a doctor but now I say it in all sincerity.

I really would not want to see you strap on an explosive vest and walk into some other sect's mosque.

Yet your standards are silly and arbitrary as well. Go figure.

I have. See above.
But before you see a shrink, check with an actual physician. There could be a physical cause to your downward spiral.

Quote:Behavior is the way in which a person responds to a certain set of conditions. Changes in personality and behavior occur in the majority of patients with brain tumors at some point during their treatment.
In some cases, these changes are so subtle that the patients themselves are more aware of their difficulties than are those around them. In others, it is the caregiver rather than the patient who first recognizes that something is different.
Common cognitive changes and personality-related problems and difficulties experienced by patients with brain tumors are usually associated with:
- Language and Communication: Difficulty with verbal fluency; speaking, reading, and/or writing.
- Emotion and Personality: Psychiatric symptoms such as depression, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive behaviors; changes in emotional control such as irritability, mood swings, or withdrawal; socially inappropriate behavior; and/or denial that behavior is a problem.
- Learning and Memory (particularly short-term memory): Difficulty processing, storing, and remembering information; short-term memory loss.
- Attention and Concentration: Confusion, easy distraction, difficulty multitasking and planning.
- Executive Functioning/General Intellectual Abilities: Decreased reasoning ability, impaired judgment, inability to connect cause and effect.
Begin soon.
