Big Hoovie: YOU've had a long couple of days? You should have had mine.....25th wedding anniversery party on Sat night, open-house sunday for my birthday, house guests I've lost count of and a Bryce challenge to post before the deadline.....My son's fiancee has just given birth to my 3rd grandchild (boy - 8lb 12oz - both doing well thankyou) and I have to drive to London from Wales on Tuesday...I am completely knackered. Reality on a basic level....consider this: To appreciate your place in the universe you must first realise just how big the universe is...that is to say, you must really comprehend what it means to live in a universe that has no end and had no beginning; a universe that stretches to infinity, eternally and forever. In a reality that is full of beginnings and endings something as eternal and infinite as the universe stands as an anacronism and as such can drive a person to the point of insanity. This is what I mean by 'a basic level'. Our reality will always be flawed until we become capable of making the (quantum) leap that will enable us to look beyond the finite and see the universe as it really is. And as for you being plain dumb....not a chance. Anyone who can converse at this level has more than just a modicom of intelligence.
