Why indeed?
This question is so profound that it has haunted me all day.
This question is so meaningful that I went to the trouble to reregister for a moment so that it could be set apart and asked alone. And I am planning to print out the post it was asked in and put it in the philosophy section of my personal library.
This question is so important that I cannot address it. I think it should be pondered by every person separately.
Because this question involves so many things. Philosophy is one I suppose. But I think that the most important thing it involves is choice. That's just my take on it of course.
Rhetorical question: Does anyone else find this question as deeply meaningful as I did?

Well, I thank you very much Katt, but I sometimes think I am one of the least compassionate people around. And I know many decent terrific kind compassionate people on this board who put me to shame.
But this question somehow strikes me as being of infinite importance.
It's not about anyone in particular. It just seems so infinitely important. It has replayed over and over in my head today, and the answers are swirling. Answer building on answer and leading to more questions.

Not too belittle the question, but maybe it's transference at work. (=:

Dinah,
A very penetrating question indeed. And, unfortunately, my answer reveals much about the less than perfect condition of my soul.

maybe mair, or maybe it's the most cosmically (sp?) significant question of this or any time. because it's a question of.... no, that would be saying what the question made me think of. And that's not right.
That's what I meant by everyone has to think of it themselves. Some people may think it's a load of ... And hey, that's their choice. Everyone can make of it what they Will. Will. An old fashioned but very important use of the word. I love old fashioned meanings of words. They seem to get diluted over time.

Where can I find the original post where this question came up? I searched but couldn't find it.
Thanks,
Cece
