Sure...as well as it can actually be answered yes. I dont expect "answers" here, just thoughts. Your post more than meets that criteria.

That seems to follow alot of what Ive found as well. From day to day and even hour to hour, thoughts perceptions and reasoning change with state of mind, emotional state, circumstance etc.

Welcome to my world. I'm not much beyond that point myself....hence the question.


I just realized I never posted my thoughts on the subject.

In many ways, I see the whole concept as a fish swimming in a fast flowing river. the fish holds free will to do as it must or wants within the confines of the river itself, yet the river is unyeilding in its boundaries and flow. the fish can swim upstream or down, side to side, up and down as it wishes and perform whatever actions as it progresses along yet cannot leave the river itself. the river will eventually take the fish to where it is destined to be, one way or another and without regard to actions taken during the journey.

thanks everyone. keep 'em coming. facinating stuff. Ive never had to hit dictionary.com so many times in one thread in my life.
