Scott Peck</a> would attribute it to dysfunction within the family when the person was young - improper nurturing damages the "soul" - leaves you unable to form deep bonds with other people. <br /><br />2) Going to thokofy my own personal opinion for this one: Do we really care if the soul is permanent? not me, I am ok with dying. Does the soul grow? it feels so, everyday we learn to do things we never thought we could do yesterday, acquire new ways of thinking, new viewpoints, our patience increases or decreases etc etc.. so the soul seems malleable like cheese spread. And regarding evil, refering to the lynchpinish question of the Mahabharata asked by Draupadi "Why be good?", here is what I think :<a href="http://blog.lithiumhead.com/2009/10/being-bad.html" rel="nofollow">http://blog.lithiumhead.com/2009/10/being-bad.html</a><br /><br />3) I think we will continue to exist until our existence (and our daily activities) fuels a rate of increase of entropy in the universe higher than what it would have been if we didn't exist. What seems to be a dynamic equilibrium could just be the Sun's energy diffusing through our planet and as this energy filters through us, it becomes even more diffuse (increased entropy). By energy I mean the scientific meaning of energy and not the kind that spiritualists refer to. <a href="http://blog.lithiumhead.com/2011/11/spirituality-vs-science.html" rel="nofollow">http://blog.lithiumhead.com/2011/11/spirituality-vs-science.html</a>Anurag Chughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15390575283968794206noreply@blogger.com
