Quote of the Day:

We are always acting on what has just finished happening. It happened at least 1/30th of a second ago. We think we’re in the present, but we aren’t. The present we know is only a movie of the past.

Thomas Wolfe

  1. Imaginary friend
    Imaginary friends also help kids survive bad childhood, and that is old knowledge. Am I the only adult that still have my imaginary friend? No, I am not a freak.

      1. Imagination
        imaginary or not. He is sure some help now and then. He is always looking over my shoulder. Sometimes a bit iritating (right word?). And he has saved my life. If i had not known of him, I would surely have turned to God and given him the credit. I think that many people turn to God and/or Jesus in such ocasions. (Please forgive me my bad English)

          Hi Odin,

          >>Sometimes a bit iritating (right word?).

          Well, irritate means to make someone annoyed, impatient, or angry. So if that’s what you meant, you picked the right word. 😉

          Have you ever asked your friend what he or she is? Of course he or she might tell you that they are a figment of your imagination, but you never know — they might surprise you.

          >>(Please forgive me my bad English)

          Your English is very good. I know native English speakers who do far worse! What’s your native language?

          1. My friend
            My friend is in fact a she. Who she is? It is impossible to tell by words, only by feelings. I know she is ancient. Very ancient. It is like she is picked to look after me. Not take care of my. Just follow me around. Sometimes, not very often, she have to guide me. If she is just in my imagination, I do not know. Since you ask, my native language is Norwegian.

          2. Different kinds of friends
            Hi Odin,

            I think there are (at least) two kinds of imaginary friends. The childhood kind may be companions that are more like your peers in that they are roughly equal to your development in the larger scheme of things. Mine had a common name that turned out to also be a new cousin’s name. I think my friend ‘disappeared’ about the time my cousin was born. (I was three or four years old.) That young cousin developed a disease at an early age, but we always communicated at a level that transended his handicap.

            The other kind of friend that you are familiar with is what many would call a guardian angel or spirit guide depending on their education on the subject. I would suspect that many of the folks that frequent this site have someone that they are aware of that helps them through life’s tougher moments. To me, this is one of the miracles of life and I would feel very lonely if I never had that connection. I have always suspected that most people who look to god for help are answered quietly by one of these helpers without fanfare.

            On a separate note, my first couple of trips to Norway (I’m 1/2 Norwegen by lineage) yielded some amazing ‘coincidences’ visiting distant relatives for the first time. Whether this is a genetic element or the choice of many to stay in a family line as the Inuits believe, I’m not sure.

            Cheers,

    1. Friends
      The friends in one’s image, would become those from which an assumed ‘enemy’ is really just a metaphor, when such label’s and banner’s are paraded like clown’s dancing in the rain.
      where’s Ronald?
      Remembering how your next meal might be Burger’s, involves having the kind of forsight that destroys one’s ‘apparent image’, while also defining why there’s friends posing as enemy’s.
      Why should this occur when it’s antithesis would be more likely?
