Chaos
Your intelligence was not created to understand chaos.
Your intelligence was created by chaos.
You see order in chaos because the chaos of your mind resonates/correlates with the chaos of the universe.
It is not the irregularity, but the seeming regularity, that is the flaw in our experience of chaos.

Free Fall
Rock-a-bye, baby,
On the tree top.
When the wind blows,
The cradle will rock;
When the bough breaks,
The cradle will fall,
And down will come baby,
Cradle and all.
Between birth and death, we happen.
We fall towards the life-bearing earth
Like babies off a tree
Living in a free fall.
Between wake and sleep
We cut time up into an eternity of nanoseconds;
Between truths we lie on
Our imagination of life on the ground.
Between now
And the eternity our minds can conceive
We hold on to the fall, believing
That only the fall, will set us free.

What is your definition of forgive?
What is your definition of forgive?
I think forgive means deciding not to act on a misdeed against you towards the person who offended you.
Not forgiving means you plan to take revenge on that person sooner or later. It does not matter if you have forgotten what the misdeed was. It is possible to forget but not forgive.
Forgetting means writing off an event that occurred, meaning you decide to deny that a specific misdeed was ever done against you.
Changing what you believe or how you function in response to a misdeed against you is simply learning, which is independent of forgiving and forgetting.
World history shows us we are good at forgetting, bad at forgiving, and almost never learn.
All combinations of learning and not learning, forgiving and not forgiving, forgetting and not forgetting are possible.
Love gives you the ability to reinterpret an event so that instead of deciding that a misdeed was done against you, you decide that there was nothing wrong with the event, and therefore nothing to forgive.

How religions rationalize unbelieving
How religions rationalize unbelieving
Christianity: if you don't believe, you were meant never to believe.
Buddhism: if you don't believe, we still win because you actually do believe. its just that the time hasn't come for you to admit it.
Atheism: if you don't believe (in atheism) you could use a (downward) leap of faith.
Others??
