I was going to post this seperately, but I think it relates a little to what you're expressing tranq.
I read this in church today "Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance proven character, and proven character, hope..and hope does not disappoint."
Thanks for the tip about that movie, I will get it.
Another of my favorites is "What the Bleep Do We Know?"
All these ideas share the same theme: there is no one, static real world, we create our own reality for ourselves.
