And yes I think I understand what you mean with the moon in the mirrors of water :) - yet I believe this has all a reason :) the separation and everything :) - I mean the source is one right? Soooo why come into little pieces into existance, why not being connected via mind channel right from the start :) - we can breathe right? We can scream? But we are not able to transfer our thoughts :) - nor to read them it seems? :) soooo why is that? I believe if the ego had no right to be and the whole "suffering" and "attachment" had no right to be it would not be there :) - What I mean is that I dont think that this reality is flawed :) - I dont think that this is some kind of prison that we have to break free in order to move on :) - I dont believe in karma either :) - so I believe that this has all a reason :) - we are born perfect, even if you are not able to live. I believe that this is also part of some bigger plan :) lol - yes indeed I believe that this whole creation is some kind of distraction for the immortal soul :) - and the ego is a way to make it more fascinating all over again :) - to give the diamond more facets, to give the moon another reflection :) - The important part is :) that we...as people :) we do suffer and feel pain and anguish and we normally dont like it :) - so it is in our very best interest to learn how to change this pattern into happieness :) - and to find a way of life that is pleaseant :). But for our soul and that I am quite sure off...it is all the same :)

Haha well that is ok for me :) I am labeled so allready lol :D - so I dont mind :) but it is true the "ego" is needed to function properly :) - and it should not be overemphasized the dificulty in thinking in the whole and yet feel the I at the same time :) - actually I can think that I am connected to everyone...but I dont feel it. What is quite ok for me because if I would maybe my frail self couldnt accept it and be nuts for real :) - Its something that happens with people who have a mental breakdown :) - so to function properly we need the division :) - and yet I think it would be good for us all to realize the one ness of it all :)

Hey there Little Red :) - I agree with you on a lot :) - the only thing that I am still trying to get my mind around is the ego part :) - I mean it is true by seeing oneself separated from the others we start to see the differences rather than the conjunctions right :). But I think the "ego" as the self awareness and genuine distinction from others is also an important part of our life :) - as we are born in separate bodies :) - I think that this has also its right to be :) - the problem is that we are tought that what we do has to be meassured against some standard :) the competitiveness that is I think the main problem :) - we are presented with values like "right" or "wrong", "good", "bad", you can see this most distinctly in the fashion world :) - the hunger to be "special" leads to absurd things right? :) but I dont mean that fashion is wrong :) - I just mean the need to separate oneself from others is inborn in the feeling that being just who you are is not enough :) - you have to make your self special not by being special in yourself but by obtaining something that makes you special in a way. :) - And I dont think killing is bad or good either :) - I mean of course that is not my "personal" perspective because if someone would try to kill me or something similar I would not like it :) - but the fact in itself that taking life or destroying something is not bad or good :) - because nothing ever can be destroyed just changed in form. I and I believe many others you included love life and its beauty but I believe for the universe Chaos is as equally beautifull :) - a toxic waste plant equal to a beautifull rose or a new born baby. But that is not my personal perspective as I am quite human still lol - and I like things and dislike others but that is me :) - So the ego :) I think the ego is also important because it is not evil in its way or good, but what it has to loose is the fear :) - the feeling of inferiority  - the need to excell so that you are special :) - and then just excell for the fun of it :) - or dont :) and its ok :) - just do it for the fun of it all

Because a genuine happy person can not be controlled by anything :)

Actually I think the honourable just scratch that :) - with the rest I agree. Because Honour and all this stuff involving it :) - its just a tool to control us :) - who set the rules to define what is honourable? Things you would not do normally if you would just follow your "low" instincts right? :D - natural yes indeed :) - the love for oneself and then for the others it should be natural :) - but society is working against it with everything it does.
