I was born a month after Lisa Marie Pressley. I always looked at her and thought how charmed she was until she wasn't. That's life.

Tragic, isn't it? First, her father who loved her, then she.

What is it that makes life so painful that we die from it?

Why do you think she ended up that way despite the good fortune?

Human existence is not easy. It is profoundly difficult. The more sensitive you are, the harder it gets.

Ended up in what way? She lived her life and then she died. I don't believe in fate but I also don't believe in free will.

There is free will. We are as free as animals in a zoo, a world of our own making.

There you go creating a world where your opinions are fact. I stated I didn't believe in free will not that there wasn't any. You stated that there was such a thing as free will factually not that you just believed in it. See the difference? That's the cage you are in all the while claiming the bars are on my side.

What those who do not believe in free will are actually saying is that they themselves do not exist. That should be a bridge too far for anyone, but amazingly many seem capable of asserting it. Who, I wonder, do they think is actually asserting it if not themselves (the possessor of free will)????

That is what you are hearing but that's not what I am saying.
