I asked myself this exact question "The probability of your existence", popped it into google and found your blog. <br /><br />Now the realization of either our own existence or deities is the question, or the answer? Which is what I related the probability question to.. We have a rather pathetic intelligence, and pathetic I mean the second adjective on define google that its : 2.Miserably inadequate.<br /><br />Miserably inadequate because life is simple, yet we perceive that there are highly complex answers to life that simply do not exist in our own minds. Intelligence is useless if its not used, and life is pointless, or is there a point other than to enjoy it?<br /><br />We know that certain things are bad, and other things are good, I think we find a realization to life as we mature, and then we see the true nature of life and the universe. The probability that, one day, everyone will share a joy of greatness in life, I hope is more than zero.<br /><br />Yet does that mean we will agree on everything? :)theADHDguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16668838211975492928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451967208270832502.post-27509108874319015902011-12-02T11:56:26.991-08:002011-12-02T11:56:26.991-08:00Thanks for sharing your experience, Anonymous!

As for your question towards the end, my view is that curiosity - and scientific inquiry - should fuel awe rather than diminish it.Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680528427434926352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451967208270832502.post-65217251037615448332011-11-28T18:45:09.219-08:002011-11-28T18:45:09.219-08:00I recently attended a dharma talk on the topic &qu...I recently attended a dharma talk on the topic "Joy of Being." They brought up this exact topic by picturing a single 3" wooden ring floating somewhere in the ocean. The probability that one would become, would be the likelihood of a turtle that rises to the surface of the ocean only once every hundred years happening to poke its unassuming head through the ring. Though, those numbers seem like the ocean is on another much larger planet. Like the gratitude you mentioned, the lesson provided three ways to practice this increase of joy, one by thinking of someone close, a friend who is successful, and reveling in their success. A second was thinking of someone you may dislike and wishing them more success. The third, wishing a person you despise happiness. Does this allow us to be more grateful, to have less jealousy? Perhaps this realization that we are part of a universe can get scientific and view it all as one organism with many parts that require different nourishment yet feed the whole or is that even scientific. Do we need to be aware of too much that we lose the awe? Great articles btw, always lots to chew on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
