Havent u ever done anything stoopid? <BR/><BR/>i like how you use the whole "im just a foolish teenager" to avoid any type of criticism. This reminds me of when john stewart would appear on many news programs discussing serious issues. Any time he would get knocked or criticized he would quickly whip out the "me? im just a silly comedian".<BR/><BR/>Im not sure the "im just a foolish teenager, lulz!" defense is too convincing when you’re discussing topics like nietzsche or psychology.<BR/><BR/>If you dont want to discuss the topics you post about, why bother leaving the comment section open? I guess you’re just hoping for the usual sycophant-ish praise that your pseudo intellectual BS normally garners.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-49132748071368152692007-07-20T12:40:00.000-04:002007-07-20T12:40:00.000-04:00"(deep down, we desire a spiritual connection with..."(deep down, we desire a spiritual connection with G-d)<BR/>That is not true for all people."<BR/><BR/>I actually think it might be. It is human nature to crave connection with other people. People are not meant to be alone, as it even says in the Torah, God saw it was not good that Man was alone and so he created Woman. I think that, in respect to God, most people (if not all, probably all) want some sort of connection with SOMETHING, even if it is not the God we know or if it is not even a god at all but rather science or something else. People need to be connected to SOMETHING, need to believe in SOMETHING.Erachethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00660802321998349072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-844789198114957702007-07-20T11:39:00.000-04:002007-07-20T11:39:00.000-04:00(deep down, we desire a spiritual connection with ...<I>(deep down, we desire a spiritual connection with G-d)</I><BR/><BR/>That is not true for all people.Jack Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625864271071630940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-14545848089323366842007-07-20T11:00:00.000-04:002007-07-20T11:00:00.000-04:00How lovely of you to take the time out of your day...How lovely of you to take the time out of your day to inform me of this.

Could this feeling of being alone (having absolute existence) catalyze the evil inclination?<BR/><BR/>If we saw each other as part of a bigger whole, we would be more apt to help and give power to our good inclination.<BR/><BR/>I actually named my blog haKiruv for this reason. I didn't want to feel lonely anymore, so I started to reach out and find common things that we can all be positive about. I try to at least. This is something that comes to mind when recited Shema, for instance.haKiruvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12364180049796549383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-32811834678866529202007-07-19T23:43:00.000-04:002007-07-19T23:43:00.000-04:00"It's simply my thought one day in July.
