A map is not the territory and a word is not the thing itself. Words are simply sounds in the air which point to things which are not sounds in the air. The sound itself is irrelevant, hence all the different languages. By the association of things with abstract sounds, a language is developed, which is useful for communication, but should not be confused with reality. Regardless of how well I describe the taste of something, it’s not the same as actually eating and experiencing it.

The reason I am me is because everyone else is taken.

I agree that my opinion or your opinion are irrelevant when it comes to what actually is! However, your example of a square circle reminds me of the question “what happens when a unstoppable force meets an immovable object? Is it possible that something which is all powerful, could override that which is logically impossible? Once again, it matters not what you or I think, because it does not change the way things actually are.

An imaginary God will naturally be able to do imaginary things. Truly, there is nothing that an imaginary God could not do, since there are no limits to the imagination!
Some imagine God in there own image, whereas other will see God as a force of nature, like gravity.
It does not really matter what one believes, since it will not change the reality of what truly IS.

Love is an emotion, a feeling of attachment towards a person or a thing. Humans are social animals, making love, the bonding agent keeping people together. To understand what love IS, one needs to understand what emotions are and how they arise.

The purpose of life is to convert oxygen into carbon dioxide, which humans do through breathing. The resultant energy given from the burning of oxygen on a cellular level, powers the body. The carbon dioxide that you have produced so far, is still out there in the universe, so if you were to die tomorrow, you still would have completed your purpose.

Our first exposure to music, was hearing the rhythm of our mother’s heartbeat while in the womb. Rhythmic sounds are everywhere in nature and melodies may be found in bird songs.
The relationship between various pitches is also important. The major keys in music are usually associated as being upbeat whereas the minor keys have more of a sadness to them.
Lyrics added to music may paint a more vivid image in the listeners mind and may become much more powerful then just music alone.

I agree that we measure the going by of time, but that measurement always begins from NOW (the present moment). One could measure an hour from now or a year from now, but now is always the reference point. NOW, itself, does not change because it is always NOW. Since what we call time is continually passing that which we call NOW, now becomes the reference point to compare changes from within it. For example, you have never been older then whatever age you are now. It was NOW when you were a child and it is still now regardless of your current age. Your body has changed and your mind has changed but the fact that it is NOW, has not changed.

If time is passing, what exactly is it passing?

How about “I am, therefore I think I am?

Time is the measurement of change. Like all measurements, one needs a zero point to measure from and that zero point is the present moment. Put marks on a circle and spin a wire which is relative to the speed of the rotation of the earth and one has a device to measure with, called a clock. The marks the wire just passed is called the past and the marks the wire is approaching is called the future. However, the only time one may look at the clock is in the present. Since the present moment neither arrives nor departs and it is the present moment everywhere in the universe, it gives context to the concept of past and future.

Life seems real, WHILE we are living it. My childhood seemed real, when I was a child and my dreams seem real while I’m dreaming them. However, since everything in the universe is impermanent and constantly changing, it may be that the only thing that is real, is change itself?
