- I like this essay on existence. The parts I felt were the most important dealt with appreciating the life we have now. Even if the next life is much better this one is still a unique experience.

- This type of thinking dwells in the very pinnacle of my being. If we all realized our differences are worth all examination, we'd learn an awful lot from eachother. I cannot change others, I know, but I can change myself with hopes that I will spark some change in someone else and so on and so on. Acceptance helps us live our lives fully. Feel me?
"Just as each mind is unlike any other, every person's cellular structure is specific to them. Differences in genetic design, and events that influence the development of cells, ensure that everyone perceives the world with dissimilar sensory abilities; and the specific physical construction of the brain dictates how these perceptions are presented for interpretation by the consciousness." I really would love to display the entire article on my site. I found this site and others when I was Haveaheart81, I am going back and stealing some of my old stumbles before they disappear. - This type of thinking dwells in the very pinnacle of my being.

- This is a nice article. It is an Idealist's point of view that nothing exists apart from our mind's interpretation of it. I like the reasoning in it.

- Realizing the significance of your life, because every specific sensation is available to you only once, and never again, leads one to understand that life has great value. In the infinite passage of time, you have this brief moment to know what it is to exist in this form. Every sensation is to be appreciated for the reason that it cannot occur the same way again. Eventually, and usually without warning, your life will end, and the opportunity is lost for all of eternity. This is not to say that one should stop and savour every minor event that is part of life, but one should occasionally realize the significance of what usually seems mundane. You may be standing in the rain waiting for a bus. You have nothing constructive to think about, so your thoughts revolve around things like "I wish it wasn't raining at this particular moment" and "why hasn't the bus arrived yet?" Of course, these thoughts lead nowhere; but they are part of the "self-annoyance" we like to engage in during these situations. Rather than focusing on negative and pointless musings, you can view your delay as an opportunity to be more aware of your surroundings. Notice the sound of the rain, and that it is the sum of the impacts of each individual drop that creates the overall sensation. Consciously switch between hearing the localized strikes, and the total effect. Recognize that the denser atmosphere changes the qualities of sound, and alters the way you perceive odors. Notice how you can simply sense the heaviness of the air. See the way each raindrop breaks into droplets as it strikes an object, and the overall visual sensation created by the countless droplets bouncing off the roadway.

- This short piece is a 'reaffirming' read, a reminder of how your view of the world is just one, tiny, individual perception.

- a very nice read. Made me appreciate being alive and able to experience the "everything" of life.

- "if a tree falls in the woods, and there is no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?" how do you know it fell? perhaps it was slowly lowered to the ground with a crane. but, if you get to assume it fell, then i get to assume it made a noise/sound.
