Oh, no, I wasn't upset about your post at all...I didn't even read it until today. I was just grumpy about things in general, and took it out in a lame way on Ame Sans Vie. I think your question is interesting: "Was Calculus invented or discovered?" I sometimes figure that the properties of the Universe are "discovered," while the techniques used to measure those properties, and the means to make predictions based on those measurements are "invented". But then again, I wonder sometimes if all knowledge is innate, and if we are really "rediscovering" what we have always known (the "you already are the Buddha" sort of thing). Wow, sometimes I listen to myself talk and wonder if *I* took too much acid. lol

> I am sorry I wasn't trying to hurt you. I said it in jest not out of spite or hateful intentions. I know where you stand right now as I am in the same place. Last week I had 3 horrible nights and had to go on a med that makes me zoned out, but affords me some sleep. I have had up and downs for over a year and it sucks. I agree we all deserve better than what we feel right now. Please accept my apology.
