Hi John,
You appear to be very well rounded. You have an intelligent way of communicating, and you have a warm personality. I am so pleased that you are posting here.
I'm not much into SciFi so I'm not sure if I'd ever watch the Matrix movies. You'd probably find me inspecting the backs of my eyelids before too long! *smile* Although the premise sounds interesting, you wouldn't catch me paying $10 to go see it in the theatres. Of course, I could always get it for free at the library!
You mentioned that when a person removes their desire that it will ultimately remove their pain. I'm not sure how one would remove a desire. Actually, I think you have to have realistic desires. Otherwise, you will disappoint yourself when you pursue things that will be out of your reach. Realistic desires are wonderful in that they will give you goals to strive for. I believe that we need to have desires....realistic desires....in order to keep the fires of HOPE burning. And HOPE can be transformed into ACTION that will eventually allow us to achieve our desired GOALS. But I could be wrong. *big grin*
Let us know how you are doing, John. I'm not sure what your situation is, but I can tell that you have much inner strength on your side. Don't fall into the trap of analyzing yourself too much. One tends to become too self-absorbed that way, and every little bump in our personality becomes a monster! You're so smart that I'm fairly confident that you do a fair amount of analyzing. How about posting to us instead? We'll do the analyzing for you!! Ha ha!!!
Hugs,
Sandy
