[MD] relative

[118]

Hi guys,
There is another difference between music and math.  Music has no
purpose but to be listened to.  Math usually has a purpose, that is,
it is intended to lead somewhere.  Once a song is over, are you there?
 The Hindu philosophy is more like music whereas the Judeo-Christian
(and Moslem) philosophies are more like Math.  In my opinion of
course.

I would prefer that MoQ were more "musical" in its perspective, but
there are those who insist on making relative measurements.  Such
people prefer the Math approach.

The Hindu's say that reality is a dance, the Westerners say it is toil
and sacrifice.  What do you expect from a culture that claims
"survival of the fittest" as the reason we are here.  One dog eating
another, that is no kind of dance but a fight to the death!  There are
some in this forum who seem like they are fighting to the death.  This
is what the ego does,in my opinion.  I can't be wrong can I?  I'll
fight you for it to show who is right! :-)

cheers,
Mark
