RE: We are larger than Life

I like that you said 'reaction', because 'reacting' basically means repeating patterns of the past and transferring them onto the current moment. The word 'reaction' hence is kind of opposite to 'responsibility' which is the ability to respond. The former implies that we give the current moment meaning depending on the meaning we gave it in the past, which is shutting us close to new solutions, while respond means that we see that the current moment itself is meaningless without drag to the past or future, thus allowing for new solutions. :)

Thanks for your comment! Always appreciate your contemplations!

uff, deep stuff. I never saw it this way but now it is obvios. So I will try to respond to events and not only to react

Haha, yeah. Whenever I hear someone say the common phrases: 'we have to react', 'we have to show a reaction' I cannot help smiling because this means that whatever the reaction looks like it will be rather calculable and predictable.
