RE: AA: If you could create a cosmos, would you? |
My point exactly.
I responded w/i a few min's of you. Babies are made all the time, and, as
such, they (among other physical beings represent the possibility of new
universes.) By this I am not implying I am anti-choice or that that is
right-headed (good thinking), merely that within a Multiple-Worlds
philosophy
we cannot rule out the creation of new worlds through the creation of
children.
I think that every time a new possibility is created, hope exists because,
to
give up the possibility of hope is both ignorant and self-defeating. I also
think it's stupid to try to sort out and dissect every detail of life...
Sincerely,
Anya
p.s. I think women (or sensible people) need to align and whip this forum
into
shape.

As opposed to nothing, the universe iz much better - more interesting,
capable of generating the new and unexpected and thus possibly
improving on what went before. Being is richer than non-being. The
suffering is not the most significant bit to me.

Think about your answer. Think about the scenario and all that it
entails. You'd be producing worlds upon worlds in which both
suffering
and pleasure occurs, each at intensities you've probably never
experienced yourself. You'd be producing worlds whereupon life would
evolve and some on which it would become intelligent. You'd be
producing worlds with rape, starvation, romance, hatred, flowers,
sunsets, malice, murder, multiple moonrises, sex, joy, unimaginable
misery, the experience of both having children for some, burying
children for others... the whole gambit. Is existing such a
beneficial
thing that you would invoke the suffering of untold quadrillions upon
quadrillions of individuals so that some may enjoy the act of being?
Whether so or no, why?
For my part, I'm still not sure. I probably would, all things
considered.

Why? What's it to you? Oh wait. Aren't you the one that was complaining
about how people were posting? Why do you think things should be done your
way? Just curious.
