LOL I was just making a whimsical joke. But here, try this: If your role in life or with a certain person is to be a pain in the butt, it's going to make your social relationship a bit touchy, ain't it? Funny, yet also true, in some spiritual relationships.
That's funny cause I started a thread a few weeks ago asking the question whether we could remember the future (that's the thread title)... I didn't realize Carroll addressed this very issue in his book.
If you remember the future, it would be obvious and not a question of "Can we? Well, if we can, then...". Seriously! : )
