Definition of art....

Art is not a subject, it is a verb. It is not what you do, it is how you do it.

Time outside a comparative state....if

If earth were doing fine outside our orbit with the sun, we would be outside time and be in eternity, wouldn't we?

We'll never have all the facts so we must rely on faith.....

Based solely on the knowledge we had in the womb before being born who would want to trade the perfect environment, water, where everything is automatically taken care of for us? What will happen if we are kicked out of the garden of Eden? We will be hung upside down by our heels, wacked on our ass unexpectedly, get periodically cold, hungry, and pay taxes. Not a good deal based solely on the knowledge we had to go on at the time. So it was good to be born and I believe even better when the "arm of flesh" fails us, as it surely will.

Definition of faith....

Faith is believing those things that are not as though they were.

OK to die....

If it was OK to be born then it will be OK to die....

Looking back is true sadness...

The past is pure sadness no matter whether it is happy or not. Any story that covers too much time will gradually cover itself with some sense of loss when you realize it all over especially when it was a bad event. Our spirit longs for eternity.

When health was treasured.....

When I was young money was for fun and health was not treasured.  When I was old,  money was too late for fun or health.

From a great quote master.....

Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken. Oscar Wilde

faith is a lie for the unbeliever

The Bible believers definition of faith is believing what is not as though it were. To the unbelieving world this is a lie if not true right now. The former looks ahead and latter does not. Recently this debate has presented itself dominating the world of politics.

Jesus as metaphor

If  you cannot believe everything Jesus said then you can get around this by saying Jesus did not mean it, it is all just a metaphor. See Pulpit Rock.
