    He is laughing at everything, why single this absurdity out? If everyhting is life is absurd and it makes you laugh why condemn that which makes you laugh? Maybe he isn't laughing at us, maybe he is laughing with us.

    Words cannot convey feelings, not in the truest sense. Words do have their own inherent energies associated with them, but when one energy field senses the same type of energy field, they will become one energy field. That will call up laughter. But taking the energies of the words as indicative of the person is like taking the reflection of the moon as the moon itself.

    If those who know silence do not speak, will you then say that because no one has spoken, silence cannot exist? If those who know no-mind then use mind to speak, will you condemn them? If all you have ever seen is hate, will you say that love does not exist?

    I see... Care to explain what you understand by it? Because I'm pretty confused.

    Maybe you're not supposed to understand -- that's the point -- though the point isn't a point at all -- because the mind isn't a mind at all -- so a point cannot exist
