That which exists, exists in a state of being.

There are kinds of being.

'A being' is in the state of being. 'To Be. is to have a state of being. It is difficult to explain because being (i.e., to be) and 'A being' are not the same.

I had some ideas on the 'ME' but the neural network where those ideas are stored is inaccessible at the moment. Today's project will be to (attempt) to remember. I will either remember or I won't.


You have a State of Being?
I understand the difference between a verb and a noun. A Being and To Be.
I also understand not being able to explain something. I can't explain how I think and yet I think. I can't explain how I walk but I walk. Silly, right? We are and are not our minds.
We can't look back to old memories because they've changed with the Us Now.

You are neural networks of ideas? Isn't that changing all the time? Or are you saying you have an idea of your me but you forgot or don't remember?

No problem, you be the you you want to be right now. Our "neural network" isn't us either, is it?
I change my mind so much and forget so many little things, why would I want to be my mind?

There is no Try... you either are or you aren't/do or don't.
If you want to you'll find a way, if you don't you'll find an excuse.



You're right... I guess I just won't be me.

Respect is also something that needs to be earned though, isn't it? I can be civil and polite to a stranger, but I don't respect him unless I know him to be worthy of it.
Well, to me "civil and polite" tend to fall under "basic respect", at least for me. I do see what you are saying overall.

I'm more concerned about disrespect because I think civil polite discourse is and should be expected. Being a d***head for no real reason is more of a problem in my book.

I suppose we're splitting hair here at some point.

Lol! Okay, be whomever you want to be. There's no need to limit yourself to just being me.

But I don't want to be the me that is you...I want to be the me that is me...except I don't want to have to work for it... it should come naturally... I should have just been born me, it would have made things so much easier.

If you have to work at being the me that is you then is it you you're trying to be? Being me is easy, being is easy.

From baby to adult makes me think of time,

so an adult is a baby that has aged.

If you were to start with a "child":
An Adult is a child that has matured.

An adult in the first statement is not necessarily an adult in the second.


My goodness, how flat. I mean, come on. Surely you can come up with something a little more imaginative than this! The examples I gave were mystical, deeply rooted in man's psyche to go on learning and never give up, because he wanted to see where his life's journey would take him if he were to never stop striving for something more, or broaden his knowledge base for the mere pleasure of learning how to see the world in different ways.

Are these ideas awakening the creative part of your mind?

I would say an adult is baby whose curiosity and wish to do things never stopped evolving.
