Maybe the kid meant something else. Was it possible I had misheard him?

Funny article
Seems like the point of your article is as hard to find as the paper in the trees. You really need to search to find it. Any hints? What IS your point sir?

it's a great point. the point as i understood it is that we have things "in" us that don't seem to be in us... maybe we have to go through some sort of process to find or express those things, but really they ARE there the whole time, they ARE us...
a hundred thumbs-up for elad nehorai.

Great article - very nicely put. Expressing the reality of truths that are not purely physical is a difficult task and a message the secular world needs to hear. As it is, the atheists often confuse the moral dimension with pure utilitarian survivalism and not just pertaining to themselves - they'll ascribe the same motives to you. Writing like this can help, if only by inspiration.
