I’ve come to the absolute

I've come to the absolute conclusion that there is only love. Only humans can possibly consider and create something other than. The rest of the universe just abides in it without fanfare, without question. ~A "Just as what you dream is your own and no one else can observe it, so the world you see is your own." ~ Nisargadatta

Glad to be of service

that's what I'm here for, your dear friend, Jess, Reprehensibly irrepressible, "the alleged short-cut to knowledge, which is faith, is only a short-circuit destroying the mind." [Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged]

The only thing I'm sure about it is

there is no pure feeling in the world considered as a sin. complicated people who consider such feelings should be bounded by many rules ,they are the sin itself. and keep your queue away from my ears ,,,(smile) Mona

So true!

Each line deserves to be read slowly, they're so powerful. I also like Chumfin' quote a lot. Just one suggestion: "nobody" could be written in one word. Antoine

Its a different culture

Its a different culture ,where men hiding their feelings for long time before they make their first step. This is a scream of women from that culture.The good thing this is changing. THANKS Mona
