  1. Abortion is about personal choice, not love or fear. People should have the right to make decisions based on their own circumstances, not on someone else’s beliefs.
  2. I’m pro-choice because I believe people deserve the freedom to make the best decision for their lives and their future children. Choosing to have an abortion doesn’t make someone selfish or irresponsible, it means they’re considering what’s best for everyone involved. Those who are anti-abortion can make their own choices to have children, planned or unplanned, and deal with the responsibilities. But that shouldn’t mean they impose their beliefs on others.
  3. It’s still terrible that anyone could even consider such nonsense. The fact that they bring it up as something important only shows how backward they are. According to my country, it has been confirmed that the change has happened. But whether it has or hasn’t, it will probably happen, and even if it doesn’t, it’s still ridiculous to raise the idea for the country.
  4. It’s good that they openly show they are fools, both for society and around the world.
  5. It’s so ironic because the majority of Muslims claim that it has nothing to do with Islam and that the Prophet Muhammad had no intimate intentions with a child, let alone a nine-year-old. Muslims are hypocritical in that regard, and the same goes for Christians, who are incredibly pathetic.
  6. They can create traps by locking us into belief systems. However, I still think that concepts have a role in helping us explore and understand the experience of consciousness, even if they are ultimately temporary or illusionary. It’s like we use these tools to point to something that can’t be fully grasped, but without them, we might miss the opportunity to reflect on and make sense of our experiences. I do agree with you that at some point, we need to let go of the concepts and beliefs that bind us to the dream. But perhaps the journey is not just about dropping all concepts, but also recognizing when they are helpful in guiding us toward deeper awareness, and when it’s time to release them.
  7. Even if we say that everything originates from ‘nothing,’ the fact remains that we are still experiencing something: awareness, thoughts, emotions, and that experience is real to us in the moment. To me, the fact that we can think, feel, and be aware points to something more than just a void. Even if these things come from a source that seems unknowable or not tangible, they still exist as experiences within our consciousness. So, while nothingness may be the origin of everything, our awareness of it still exists as something we experience and cannot deny, even if we can’t fully explain it. It’s like saying that we can’t understand where consciousness comes from, but we cannot deny that we are conscious and experiencing.
  8. It seems like you’re pointing to the idea that the mind is constantly making up stories, even in spiritual or peak experiences, and I see the value in recognizing that. However, I think concepts, even though they don’t directly capture the unknowable or ultimate truth, still serve a purpose in guiding us through our experience. We might not be able to grasp the totality of existence with the mind, but the act of conceptualizing allows us to reflect on and navigate our experiences. It’s not about holding onto the concepts forever, but using them to point towards something beyond what we can directly understand. So, I don’t see it as a trap, but more like a tool to explore what can’t fully be known. Yes, it’s a process of unknowing, but even the journey towards that unknowing is part of the experience of being alive.
  9. I think there’s a distinction between the concept of ‘nothing’ and the experience of being aware. Even if we think of ourselves as ‘nothing’ in terms of a fixed identity or ego, the experience of awareness, thinking, and feeling is still present. The human body might be matter, but the conscious experience is what gives it meaning. In this sense, I don’t think we’re truly ‘nothing’ because the very act of thinking, feeling, and being aware is something that exists. So even when we experience death, it’s part of the continuous flow of experience, which doesn’t simply end with the body. It transitions into something else, even if we can’t fully understand it.
  10. I understand your point, and I agree that no concept can fully describe what lies beyond experience or consciousness. However, when I speak of ‘non-existence’ as a concept, I don’t mean it as an objective reality, but rather as a way to refer to something that cannot be experienced or understood through concepts, yet can still be thought of in our intellect. I believe that our language and concepts help us navigate and reflect on our experience, but they can never fully capture the experience itself. Perhaps it is precisely in this boundary between what we can conceptualize and what we cannot that deeper questions about existence and consciousness arise.
  11. I believe that logic leads us to truth. If no logic is correct, how can we possibly progress? Why would existence behave in such a strange and difficult way?
  12. It actually doesn’t matter because non-existence will never become a reality, as it contradicts the very nature of non-existence, which is to not exist.
  13. Some degrees of logic work.
  14. There will certainly be disadvantages in everything, but in the end, it is the woman’s choice that should be the most important and respected, whether she chooses an abortion or not.
  15. I agree that there are many critical issues, but I believe reproductive rights are fundamental to a person’s freedom and autonomy. Abortion isn’t just about choice, it’s a matter of health, human rights, and equality. These rights shouldn’t be overlooked or downplayed as they directly impact people’s lives and their ability to make decisions about their own bodies.
  16. Non-existence does not exist, it is only a concept.
  17. @Someone here You cannot disprove that there is a God and the rest is non-existence. Even though it may sound silly, you cannot disprove it. If you can, I will become your best friend, cook your meals, and wash your clothes.
  18. God is eternal, and you are not God.
  19. @Someone here It doesn’t matter if all sources come from God, there are clear distinctions, whether you like it or not. Potential is not existence yet. The problem is not that I identify as a form. When I say I come from non-existence, I mean that nothing exists, no form, no energy, no space, nothing! But it has the potential to become something. You missed the point.
  20. Potential non-existence can’t be equated with something that is eternal. Eternity, in the true sense, means something without beginning or end, something that has always existed in its fullness. Potentiality, by definition, hasn’t actualized yet and doesn’t imply anything eternal or unchanging. It simply holds the possibility for existence.
  21. The truth is not love, love is created by our consciousness, and anything created is not absolute. Existence is neutral, there is no inherent hierarchy, no “more” or “less” in value. Everything is in balance, nothing stands out more than anything else.
  22. Even if it’s a simulation, a dream, a game, or anything of that sort, this does not change the fact that experiences such as being burned alive or tortured by a cartel are horrific and brutal realities that can and do happen to people. The pain of such experiences does not become any less real, even if they are unreal. Similarly, losing your entire family in an accident is a tragedy that remains devastating, regardless of the context. If consciousness is responsible for all of this as part of some game, it raises intriguing questions about the nature of consciousness itself. The prevailing belief seems to suggest that pure consciousness, in its non-dual perfection, lacks nothing. This leads one to wonder whether the desire to engage in play arises from a need for entertainment, implying that consciousness is not entirely content simply being. Does this mean that consciousness seeks to do something in order to alleviate boredom or escape from loneliness? In this context, life often feels like a torture chamber, a trap. I frequently feel deceived, surrounded by negativity in a world that seems to go nowhere. Prejudice, wealth inequality, and homelessness are pervasive issues. Whatever improves here often seems to worsen, and this cycle is likely to continue until it ultimately ends. I believe I would not experience boredom if I had everything I ever wanted. What I truly desire is to create my own world, where I can express all of my creative talents without any outside interference and without the existence of any form of evil.
  23. Race disconnected us, religion separated us, and politics divided us. Yet, in our shared humanity, there lies the potential for unity, if only we could see beyond the walls we’ve built.
