Hi SA

Thank you for your reply. I think to rid oneself of all viewpoints simply 
means to come to the realization that despite all of us being on different 
paths, we're all heading the same way. In the face of certain death, I fail 
to see what it matters if I believe this while you believe that. One person 
might believe in an afterlife while another doesn't. Is either of them 
right? And is there a God? I just don't know...I'm neither a believer or a 
disbeliever. It simply doesn't matter much one way or the other when you 
come right down to it.

So far as evolution goes, as living beings, if we're in a bad spot, we quite 
naturally tend to seek out a better place. In other words, we evolve. 
Conversely, if we're in a good spot, we quite naturally tend to seek 
equilibrium, to stay in that place. And we stagnate. I think the MOQ says 
that evolution is Dynamic, while stagnation is static. We need both, yet too 
much of either isn't good. Balance is key.

Thanks again for your reply,

Dan
