"Eternal truths."

Later today I see a specialist to find out what is wrong with me. At this point I'm getting rather nervous about what he is going to say to me. Its a shame that it isn't tomorrow, because by tomorrow I will know what he said to me. And I will know what he said to me for the rest of my life (providing I don't forget). If this evening my specialist tells me what is wrong with me then that fact will be the truth for the rest of my life.

Hold on though. If what he tells me is the truth tomorrow, then isn;t it also true that what he tells me was the truth today as well. And if that is true, then it was also true the day before that, and the day before that too. In fact, it must have been true the day before I was born. In which case, it has always been true and will always be true.

It doesn't take a great jump of reasoning from here for me to realise that this is true of any event. In which case, everything that is going to happen, was going to happen since the beginning of time. (if there was a beginning of time, something else that I'm struggling to get my head around).

Does that mean then, that everything then is predetermined. It must do surely. And this makes me very uncomfortable.

Boss "hey Ros don't bother running back"

Are you stupid? This is quite possibly the most insensitive thing I've ever seen anyone commit to words. Ros says she is seeing a specialist to determine whether or not she has a terrible affliction which could effect the rest of her life, and you come along talking about "lady problems".

You utter mong.

Go for a run, I find any kind of exercise a great way to relax.

Calm down Ros - I don't think Money_man was being serious there.

Thanks :D

I'm sure everthing will be fine. I'm a little edgy at the moment though, just need to relax a little.......

Hey look we've all been blabbering on and have forgot some basic decency. Well I hope that you don't get bad news later today, destiny or no destiny.

Whats happened to this place. I can't post anymore without someone making some comment about me. Its not just me either. I see all sortd of horrible comments being made about people for little or no reason.

Each of us a person, we are not just machines that have no feelings, and we should all think about that before we post things that might upset people.

Which is why I hadn't started a thread for ages. But I built up the courage to try again today. I'm starting to wish I hadn't bothered.
