[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 678530, member: 18958"] Life itself is this, I think. After all, we die at the end. Yes. But the inverse is true, too. When every choice has its own set of perfectly wonderful seeming consequences that go down roads that lead to pain and despair and other horribly terribly and unforeseen consequences. Because we cannot see around the curve. We do not see the whole story. Because it does not exist. Even if it all looks rosy, the end of the story, good or bad does not exist. We make it with our choices. So all we have is integrity to ourselves. To do the best thing right now for us and for all. It is like Aristotle said: Happiness is ethics. I wish I had paid better attention 45 or 50 years ago when I studied him. Happiness is an ethical choice. It is not about good or bad. It is about right or wrong. I did not know this. I have never read any of Cameron's books. Do you know that she was either married or in a relationship with that movie director that works a lot with De Niro? Scorsese. They have a daughter together, I think. That makes sense about the journaling, 3 pages. I do not know about you but most of the time I do not know what I feel or think. I operate from pure ignorance of what my intention and my backdrop is for that day. Like this morning, I woke with a sense of dread. I know it had to do with my dreams. How much better it would have been to become conscious of this backdrop, instead of acting from it, in ignorance of it. Thank you. COPA [/QUOTE]
