"Man Plans. God Laughs" ~ Bumper Sticker

"God Did Not Create Hurry" ~ Finnish Proverb

"At What Time are we Finished, Over, and Done?" ~ Somebody

"When is the End?" ~ A Popular Door, Someone's Favorite "D"

Why do people pick on the frailties of others - be it plant, animal, human, insect, or mineral? How does this type of destruction prove Strength, Power, and Wisdom? In what way does this Protect the earth and those who inhabit its planet? How does it make it GOOD?

Describe the color GOOD

At What Time Does Good become Bad?

Exactly How many Moments does it Take?

How would you define the Color "Growth?" ~ Someone You Don't Know

Precisely Where is GOAL?"

What time is NOW - would you be able to Spot it and Point it Out for US?

Would you know how to protect NOW from LATER or BEFORE?"

At WHAT level are you at in order to answer each and every one of these questions WITHOUT any MISTAKES? Is your Level ABC or 123?

What does it take to ADVANCE? What's a Level?

What's a Sunrise - What's a Sunset....and What do THEY KNOW?

Prehaps this should be moved to the Coffee House

I cant' really answer all of them, but a lot of it is a personal journey that could be unique to each different person.. which can make it all the more confusing..

"At What Time Does Good become Bad?"
I think (in my opinion), good becomes bad, when what we do or say, causes harm to others and/or ourselves. which may not be understood or seen or realized until after the harm is already done.

When the majority agree that it has.

By the time NOW has happened, it is in the past.

How soon is now?
"soon" never seems to come. anytime a website would close down it would have the messages "sorry for the inconvenience. we will be up and running again soon, please keep checking back"... or simliar messages. when i ask questions about -when- something will happen or a person will do something, the often answer is "soon".. and it never comes to pass.
"soon" seems to mean more of the intentions that a person has. it seems to have no designated time period for it come about. it is an infinite unknown, possibility to take place.. but no plans have been put into action yet.. other than the mere thought of "whats next". what follows after the words or actions that have led up to the "soon" speech.
Again.. just my opinion.. and most likely wrong lol .. although i dont think there really are no right or wrong answers with these types of questions.. the only wrong answers, are the answers that dont exists or havent' been made, or tried.. a blank piece of paper... with nothing on it...

I love posts that really make you think, yet, this one may have me scratching my head and going around in circles too much! It's pretty lofty- only fair that you answer the questions too.

I'm sure that one's idea of God influences the answers. As a person who is a little mixed up about God, this is confusing.

What time is NOW? Now is forever. Now is the only time we can experience. Whenever a thing is actually happening it is now. The only way to "be" is in the "now"; there's no other place to go though we often find ourselves traveling in those other directions.

"All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist … It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever." —Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

"Clock time is merely a method of measurement held in common by all civilized societies, and has the same kind of reality (or unreality) as the imaginary lines of latitude and longitude. The equator is useless for stringing a rolled roast. To judge by the clock, the present moment is nothing but a hairline which, ideally, should have no width at all — except that it would then be invisible. If you are bewitched by the clock you will therefore have no present. “Now” will be no more than the geometrical point at which the future becomes the past. But if you sense and feel the world materially, you will discover that there never is, or was, or will be anything except the present." —Alan Watts
