| So... at the drama awards last night... well, first off, I was inducted into the International Thespian Society (yay!) Alisa broke up with Ben last night, which really brought the evening down for her. Yeah... she was not the easiest to deal with today either. To the point of this, though, my dad gave some great closing words yesterday about nothing. First, he explained the difficulties of teaching negative space to his art students so long ago. One cannot draw what is there without the recognition of what is not. Likewise, we cannot appreciate the great moments in life without the recognition of all the low points in between. We will live life looking back over the time to the last high point, and we realize that it is the time in between these high points that we truly go about living. Well, this is a somewhat more complex theory of what I came up with earlier this year. Of course, I was relating it to afterlife... I'm still not sure what to expect as a heaven or a hell. For if heaven is to be the point of all high forever, then either eternity is but a moment, or we come to exist in nothing more but stagnancy, that there is no glory or pain. The good becomes normal, and we drift away into nothingness (consequently, the whole point of Buddhism). So, maybe we are supposed to become part of the stars, or part of the space between. And we will achieve full nirvana in the coming of whatever the end is for us. For an afterlife of pure joy, or of pure pain, becomes an afterlife of increasing less feeling, less existence, and eventually the negative space. |

LittleDamion | 06-05-04 1:17am If you don't mind, could I allude to what you and your dad said in a speech I have to do..? ^_^..... pleasssssssssssee.... ^_^. Just one sentence! ..... ^_^

silversoldier | Re:, 06-05-04 10:52am I have no problem with it. However, if you need credentials, neither he nor I are/am good to quote. He probably took a lot of the information from his speech out of research somewhere, and I've based it purely on the ninth grade education of school and church and life and etc. (superfluous "and" usage)
