This thread actually makes me sad. It's hard to explain but somehow i've got to try.

When you lose the awe, the mystery, the wonder of being alive in a world filled with oddities and strangeness, you miss out on a truly wonderful part of being alive.

The author of this thread will never look for the end of the rainbow. He will never spot feirie circles or cross a bridge that a troll lives under. He knows there is no tooth fairy or Santa Clause and that all that exists is all that exists. He will never eat a cookie so wonderful that it had to be made by a keebler elve.

I would rather believe in those things that make life magic then live in a world without ghosts and fairies and elves. To do other wise would be just too sad.

Love and light,

Wupy

Gormly, I say this with utmost respect and sincerity;
It seems to me, that at one point, you really wanted to (or really did) believe (in something), but something happened that broke your heart and in turn, you became bitter.
That truly saddens me.
I do, however, believe that the universe does not begin and end with limited mortality.
What would be the point?
I have experienced and seen some interesting things in this world, and, where as I always try to explain everything rationaly, rational is not always the answer.
Sometimes, we just have to accept that the universe does not conform to our limited expectations.
The human will is absolute, this I do believe.
But there will always be more to learn.
