SA,

Man is the measure of all things. Plain and simple, and unavoidable. I
cannot know this for you, you must know it for yourself. We are reality.
Reality doesn't define us; we define reality, not animals nor trees. Things
are what we say they are, nothing else defines reality, or attempts to. You
cannot remove man from reality and still have reality. You can want to, or
pretend to, assume, or wish, or pray, or anything, but you cannot have
reality without man. Man is the measure of all things. Know that and move
forward.

Micah

     Micah, I keep wondering what it is that has
'difficulty' arise when you use and argue the 'man is
the measure of all' or something like that.  You talk
about anthropomorphizing.  Then you talk about how
"...trees speak to me, but not literally."  That's
fine, but if anything we come up with is 'human
reality' (which I'm having difficulty with), then how
does objectivity fit in.  What is objectivity, but
just anthropomorphizing, since 'man is the measure of
all.' - according to what you are saying, right/maybe?


Clear this up for me.  I'm not very sure of what your
saying.

Thanks,
SA
