Impermanence is the saving grace?

[iboughtleosbooklist]

This avatar won't be here forever, my parents won't be here forever, Juice WRLD died, maybe earth won't be here forever?

If I get a dog, that dog will die. The relationship between avatar and dog won't last.

You can't hold on to any one form or any memory. I get one shot at being Joe and being able to create and love from this avatar's perspective.

Impermanence is a thought which out an actuality, like unicorn.

A movie has frames, but none of those frames are permanent, they appear and disappear thus the illusion of movement, move-ie. So impermanence would be applied to the frames in the movie.  Reality is like this but it isn't a movie, it doesn't have any frames that appear or disappear. It isn't made out of frames. Thus no question of permanence or impermanence. 

Thought acts like a snap shot.

No snap shots. No frames. Create and love though.

Wtf is the point of love if you can't share it. Love is just a sensation. All of this is happening totally on it's own. I have nothing to do with it. When I feel like creating I feel pain. I want to be a child again. But that means going through all the imaginary traumas again and ending right back where I started.

Dude. Think about it. I have a candy bar. You don't. Poor you. So I feel bad for you and give you a piece, cause I kinda feel like an asshole. Share. I shared. You better thank me. 

share (n.1)

"portion," Old English scearu "a cutting, shearing, tonsure; a part or division," related to sceran "to cut," from Proto-Germanic *skeraz (source also of Old High German scara "troop, share of forced labor," German Schar "troop, band," properly "a part of an army," Old Norse skör "rim"), from PIE root *sker- (1) "to cut."  https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=share

Love is ALREADY so fully you and what you are, it cannot be split or cut, or shared. It's not a candy bar. And neither are you. It's really far, far better than you were ever expecting or imagining.

What is aware of sensation? What allows sensation to be?

No, you feel pain because you have thoughts about yourself that aren't true, that are cutting yourself off somehow.

When was the moment you became an adult? I waited to become one my whole life and it never happened. That moment never came. You don't have to go back, just feel as if. There were so many things we knew and forgot. We knew our worth, without knowing it, with a FEELING and knowing beyond confidence or knowing. With a voracious curiosity that devoured the world. You ARE that.

No, it really doesn't mean that at all. You never began. You can't remember becoming an adult and you can't remember becoming a human? Why not? because you're really something beyond all that. What you seek is seeking you.

I'm just an algorithm

Impermanence is only a saving grace if you are un-attached to this life as a human.

For me, I really enjoy it and don't want see it perish anytime soon .. but I have accepted that I can't hold onto it forever.

Cherish every day.

al·go·rithm, a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer.

You made up some rules that you are processing information by. But you yourself are not an algorithm, and you don't have to use those rules or beliefs to filter the world through.
