You, Sir, have just spoken your own perception of human life for which your mother's womb provided the viable fetus to which God Himself imparted soul life to biological life the moment you inhaled your first breath. No, my Almost Friend, you are not being "honest" at all .Rather, you are the victim of self deception, self justification, self absorption ...[text shortened]... race would ever wish to go. You, Sir, are far more to be pitied than scorned. Kind Regards, Bob[/b]

Seitse takes life as it comes.
"If good stuff happens, I enjoy it," says he. "If bad stuff happens then I am never disappointed."
Where is the self-deception?
Continual daily pressures are what life itself does to us all.
Stress is what we allow or enable those "daily pressures" to do to our bodies
as well as our "immaterial souls."

If so, please read on...“Depression is a disorder of mood, so mysteriously painful and elusive in the way it becomes known to the self--to the mediating intellect--as to verge close to being beyond description. It thus remains nearly incomprehensible to those who have not experienced it in its extreme mode, although the gloom, "the blues" which people go through occasionally and associate with the general hassle of everyday existence are of such prevalence that they do give many individuals a hint of the illness in its catastrophic form.” ―William Styron, Darkness Visible: A Memoir of Madness
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyIf Seitse doesn't agree with your notion concerning the "immaterial soul," then how is he deceiving himself? Is life after death a given? Does everyone have to agree that life has a purpose set in stone by a creator? Does your imagination supersede his or mine?

God doesn't coerce human free will because He's a Gentleman.
Each of us decides our own address for eternity.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyWhy do you characterize the difference between your beliefs and his beliefs as dishonesty on his part? And what does it have to do with self-actualization?
