I have often wondered about the objective truth of Chinese medical theory myself.

And yes, this is the true ‘beginning’ of Spring, I just wish that were more accepted. So yes, Happy Spring!

I definitely agree with you, both forms are great and intention seems to be the most important thing.

I think I get what you’re saying…basically, that either way can work depending on one’s perspective.

So do you live in the Southern Hemisphere? If not, why are you more drawn to seeing fire as north?

Like I said I personally think its odd that maps have north on top.

However, if you’re in the southern hemisphere, this would reverse.

I’m not sure about this ‘whole earth’ view that you’re talking about. Could you explain it?

Wasn’t trying to go there. You’re right, but shouldn’t union and harmony be a goal?

Seems to me that all religious groups do is exacerbate the problem by further splitting people into tribal-ish mentalities.

Good and interesting points. I do think respect is important. I just thought it was sort of ironic that there was a Quran post immediately followed by a Bible post (which was this person’s first post, linked to a pay site, so it could be considered spam).

Additionally, the difficulty I have with organized religions is the…[Read more]

Just wanted to say I enjoy the lucidity and logic of your posts. It’s pretty refreshing to see on internet forums where most posts and rambling streams of consciousness.
