Depends on perspective. To ourselves, our problems mean everything. Meaning is ascribed in relation, not objectively. I don't fall for the whole mind-body dualism that underlies that dichotomy.
The rest of your post was based on a (false) premise I was redressing. If meaningfulness was arrived at through the absence of terminal disease etc, one would see it in such persons. Unfortunately, we don't. Actually its more the case that things like terminal illness, etc (ie, material incompleteness) plays a dynamic role in engineering meaningfulness. If one exists eternally, it's not clear what you are talking about with dying. Sonmi-451:I believe death is only a door. One closes, and another opens. If I were to imagine heaven, I would imagine a door opening. And he would be waiting for me there. Sonmi-451: Our lives are not our own,from womb to tomb we are bound to others. With each crime, and every act of kindness we birth our future Hence the problems with solutions you offer where everyone does. Is that suppose to support your position or challenge it? Such as? I wonder if you think about the ramifications of living in a world where everyone is a lottery winner. So you think having 2 arms automatically grants you a type of superior happiness and self satisfaction that a person with 1 arm does not have access to? How does that work exactly? Sounds like a square circle. I missed the bit where you elaborated on what facility an individual requires in order to be happy and satisfied to such a degree that they don't desire to infringe on the happiness of others.
That's just as presumptuous, God could be all genders, or no gender at all. For an entity that is perceived to thrive on adoration, don't you think it would be sensitive to the correct acknowledgment of its characteristics? Aren't you?
I think God has no gender, or is both, depending on how you view God. If not for your body, you would have no gender. Either way, I don't believe God gives a shit about his pronouns.
So I guess you're saying that God is an advocate for gender fluidity, and that we are free to address God as Your Shittiness.
What makes you think you were meant to discern anything. Do you question the sun during the day, the clouds above, a budding flower. What can your mind contrive that will discern the will of God? You're better off not worrying about it and simply living your life.
Not entirely. Their measurable impacts or effects also contribute to their importance. But those effects are relative to the frame of reference. I don't know why you insist on repeating the question when I already answered. I do not think it's an "either-or" thing.
In case you hadn't noticed, discerning and questioning things happen to be universal traits among human beings. If a notion exists to contemplate, it tends to get contemplated. No worries at all, just doin some contemplatin.
