Yesterday's quote ...

''Man should never stand in need of man

when it comes to freewill but the need to be man.'' 

... but I had a long rethink on it ... well not that long ... 

and decided it needs a re-write because gendered pronouns generally are an ideal subject for raising consciousness,  

as it did for me, so I am re-writing my quote as ... 

''Human beings should never stand in need of 

human beings when it comes to freewill 
but the need to be a human being.'' 

 

''Man should never stand in need of man

when it comes to freewill but the need to be man.''

 emotion, but it will be on my own terms because 

by doing so I will have created something that 

somebody else will recognize as being part of themselves.''

''It's pointless in wasting time worrying about what other people think of you, don't ..... 

if you only knew how rarely people think of you.'' 

''The majority of people irrelevant of their religious beliefs are under the Delusion that their Destiny is caused by a 'God' or a higher 'energy' ... I believe that destiny is caused by events in life that have a domino effect that is not in your control all 
the time and starting off by the country and who you are 
born too, because you are who you are by these circumstances though we have freewill it is not always put into play because of 'guilt and loyalty' and most people will go through their life accepting their destiny as 'what God intended' for them and though I have cancer I don't believe I have it because of destiny.

I believe it's because of my make-up of DNA that I carried 

into my life/events which cause other events to come into 

play that all go into my own Delusion.''
