*John as a child* Mum: “John, I need you to go grab some milk from the shop” John: “Firstly, we must understand that the process of movement is a never ending process. It is a cyclical theme that invariably comes full circle and we simply repeat the steps we once took as a child. We never truly change but rather we replicate our earlier life and we ponder on our life choices to ensure our livelihood is a fruitful one”

[@redroots3103]

I used to be the kind of person who put a lot of thought into what was 'right' for me. Eventually this thinking made me feel very stifled in life and it affected all aspects of my life in this negative way. I would continuously make the same mistake in thinking that I knew what was best for me without just giving myself the space to just try something out to see if I liked doing it first without any expectation or preconceived notions. It look me a long time to let go of what I thought I knew and just allow myself to live in the present. It was an act of trust. After much struggle, I finally gave up the notion of who I thought I was and became who I am.

15:38 - the cherry blossom. I think Richard Feynman captures it better. “I have a friend who's an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don't agree with very well. He'll hold up a flower and say "look how beautiful it is," and I'll agree. Then he says "I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing," and I think that he's kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe. Although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is ... I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty. I mean it's not just beauty at this dimension, at one centimeter; there's also beauty at smaller dimensions, the inner structure, also the processes. The fact that the colors in the flower evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting; it means that insects can see the color. It adds a question: does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kinds of interesting questions which the science knowledge only adds to the excitement, the mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds. I don't understand how it subtracts.”

[@NakuNaito]

I understand but the point is that the artist sees the beauty, the scientist imagines it

[@Ukedc259]

Enrico Albrizzi I think his point is that the scientist is capable of doing both. The artist only one. Therefore, contrary to the idea that science strips the world of deeper meaning, it in fact adds meaning. It enriches rather than impoverishes. I think John Butler’s insights are marvellous, but on this point I think he succumbs to romanticism.

[@martinsommerville5442]

The true artist and scientist (and mystic!) are indivisible, they all see & imagine & intuit & appreciate the whole beauty of the flower. Feynman is right for sure, he was a real scientist, but his friend wasn't a real artist. I'd add that it isn't necessary to physically dismantle anything to see the beauty either, though our current dominant scientific culture seems to think that way.

[@irisheyes805]

Helpful hint: Older people hate being called adorable or cute. They/we have had hugely full lives: Careers, children, harsh losses, brilliant joys, adventures, failures, triumphs, & successes. We have despaired & been elated, made discoveries, and apologized for our sins as well as hiding skeletons in our closets. We have attained these ages gracefully & clumsily; entering through doors & climbing in windows, and we didn't come this far to be considered transmogrified lawn gnomes that are cute. Please don't work in a comprehensive care home, ever, if you feel like treating older people as something whimsical and diminutive, with that annoying & condescending voice that sounds like a child is being spoken to.

[@jonathannixon8652]

Wow when he said I'm out of my mind I thought of Apostle Paul when he was speaking about what's above in Christ Jesus. Paul said it too "I'm out of my mind" As others maybe thought of him. But Paul said it about himself because he was a witness of the truth in Christ Jesus the Lord.

Who else thought it was about someone dying because of sin and not dying to actually sin

[@garydunn3037]

According to Romans 6 v 14 it says "Sin must not be master over you" How did humans inherit the sinful, dying condition that plagues us all? The bible explains "By the trespass of the one man (Adam) death rules as King over Adam's descendants (Romans 5 v 12, 14 and 17) Happily though, we can choose no longer to be ruled, or dominated by sin. By exercising faith in Christ's ransom sacrifice, we place ourselves under the rule of God's undeserved kindness (Romans 5 v 20 & 21) Even though we remain sinners, we need not resign ourselves to having sin dominate our lives. When we do give in to sin, we will ask God for his forgiveness. Therefore, we come under the rule of undeserved kindness with what result? Paul explained: "The undeserved kindness of God....trains us to reject ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live with soundness of mind and righteousness, and godly devotion. (Titus 2 v 11 & 12)
