daf Although I, like many, many of you, believe that existence and the universe are possessed of all possibilities, still...



I sometimes wonder if people throw around words like "infinite" and "forever" and "neverending" because these are practically impossible concepts for a person to wrap their head around.

I mean, sometimes it really seems like saying "infinity" is easier than thinking about it.

Once something is infinite, suddenly it gets thrown into this "ethereal" box where we keep just such notions..the ones we know the definition of, but do not TRULY understand.

Sometimes I think people say things like "there are infinite realities" not because they know a thing about it, but simply because then they can stop looking for the one actual reality that, rather than floating around in the "infinite" space of their brains, might be right in front of their eyes, simple, uncomplex and unadorned with philisophical puzzle games like "forever" and "endlessly" and "infinity" and "all possibilities exist at all times in all places."

It's not that these notions may not be true, mind you, it's that I don't think most folks have gotten to the point where THEY even know what's true yet.

They didn't come to "infinite possibilities" as the end of a search for truth and meaning, they arrived at it and were too tired and confused to go on.

So they took the easy route...they simply chose to copout...endlessly.
