on several occasions, i've had the "honor" of making the last post on a thread.
i'm never really happy about it; i don't need the "last word", and i don't like to feel like a chat killer (lol).
i'm especially disheartened that i've had the last post in this thread.
it feels as if no one has understood the sentiments i'd attempted to express.
in rereading the Sisyphus post (#37), i realize that virtually none of it is "uplifting". it strikes me as a defeatist philosophy.
the ideas that i would like to share include the thought of choice being empowerment.
if we surrender choice to "other", be it "providence" or whatever,
we have abandoned our empowerment.
also, it is my feeling that our power(s) of choice are intrinsic to our identities...
it is an important feature of our very being.
is there anyone out there who has a similar understanding of things?
