So... to link that to words it might be handy to scan ur words or use ur inbuild virusscanner as well ofcourse.
But there are also many times these little boxes u have to UNCHECK otherwise a whole lot of crop gets installed as well.

The key i think lies in whether to react or reply. I think reaction is wiser then replying, because replying is without thought and i think sterns more from an egoistic view.
While reacting sterns more from heart.
Because when reacting it means u first let came everything trough (scanned).

Haha, im not sure where to go from here. Mayb others can fill it in further.

What im saying is letting words in from others. If u reply u immediatly let the words in without scanning. There become an exchange of words. I plant this word in you. You plant this word in me. Fine, we mess eachother up. Good, as long as i can do back what u do to me.

Now reacting works differently. RIght? It works mindfull. Do i want this? Do i not? Is it worth my time? Then the reaction comes.

Just some observations i realised today.
Have you ever thought about how this forum actually works, as in the framework of pages and how the information is conveyed and stored? As soon as your words leave the keybord they become electrical signals that are processed by the computer so their nature has changed already. Those signals are then sent through the wires to be stored on another computer somewhere in cyberspace. There they become a series of binary digits stored magnetically on a metallic disc in a database. Now the weird thing about the database is that it doesn't exist as a file as such but it can be connected to, added to, amended and copied. The pages you see are made up of actual files on the computer that then process the information from the 'non-existent' database. Where you might see hundreds of pages it may be that there are only a handful of actual files that simply churn out the information in response to a query initiated by a link you click on.

Have I replied or have I reacted, is the reply the reaction and vice versa? Or is nothing what it seems to be?
