>>6610999Gotcha. Exactly. If we were only meat and cold facts there would be no point whatsoever.
And yet we do. You do. Why?
Or better - try not to. And watch yourself becoming miserable. Just try.
In the light of this, can you accept that we are something more? Indeed, it is impossible or close to impossible to prove, disprove, describe, whatever but it's as essential as meat to our existence.
What I think is that the key is your usage of "mere" when you talk about "mere facts". You are trying to sound objective but in reality there is a huge pile of unconscious contempt and scorn towards everything and yourself. And this, sir is a price you pay for reductionism and materialism. And I am yet to meet a person with your attitude that didn't have to pay it.
