The point is to make the world better by giving back more than you take.

According to Alan Dean Foster, the point is shopping.

Torn between DanaC's statement and glatt's statement.

They nest nicely. DanaC is the specific/Glatt is the general case.

Everything in this reality system is a paradox, there's good and bad, right and wrong, north and south, left and right.

But a world of one-ness where there is no north and south is coming, right after you leave this body.

But nothing ever begins and ends. You are a spiritual being having a human experience. Not the other way around.

Kinda like those Christers, or Eastmas people right?

You know, the ones that only go to church twice a year on those specific holidays.
