Stosh Posted May 24, 2012 I think it might help to first determine which of your beliefs are supportable by 'real' physical evidence and which are illusions and/or delusions. In my old age I find it increasingly easier to say "I don't know." But yeah, even our illusions and delusions can be helpful so don't be throwing everything away. I dont feel I want to be required to support my illusions with reality,.. so I will take that advice easily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stosh Posted May 24, 2012 ... and equal in the eyes of the law. Right? Now THAT is illusion! But "humans must believe in things that arent true so that those things can exist.Things like mercy and justice. Because one can grind the universe to dust and run it through a seive and never find a grain of either".hogfather I didnt write that but I like it a lot so I am using it a Second time.

Thanks for noticing it. Stosh I vote for this is one of the best threads ever. Okay Stosh - you took the photo Your Way. Certainly that isn't the first picture you've taken, ever? I'm sitting here trying to figure out your clue. Your Way. The only thing I can think of is that maybe you are taking photos of things, mundane things, as they actually are? That you are finding the beauty in the mundane, the Oneness of all of it? the idea behind the object? Please put me out of my misery here. I must know. It's my detective nature.

Burger King motto is "have it your way" The My way part was that it was unplanned, I had just gotten the camera and was just taking pictures of random things, I was opening the sandwich in the car and thought, Wow that really looks delicious with all the grease and sticky cheese, the unexpected thumbprint depression in the bun from the wrapping of it etc. With all its faults it was still a decadent and wonderful thing. Click. No not the absolute first, but yes the first with a digital camera that I kept. The golden light illuminated fries dripping ketchup were blurry.
