works. We learn from our failures, more often unfortunately than from our successes. Makes life a tougher road, but
there you are.

Do you really think we do? Or are so many human beings destined to keep repeating faulty and failing behavior?

Of course...If we never touch a hot stove, how will we ever know it will hurt when we do it... It works for
everything just about in our sensory system. we learn how to judge people, we learn the forshadowing that
is in given situations, and then act the other way when confronted with something that turned out badly last time,
under the same circumstance..
I can say that is how I learned to play pool, and cards, and any other endeavor I had to learn the right and the
wrong of.
And yes some are destined to do that. But you are too smart for that. They are the kind that just flow along
and allow their life to just drift without direction or thought....They definately do repeat past behaviors, until something
makes them stop and realize what they are doing to themself. Too bad some never do learn....

Christian: You know, I thought you'd be a little more reticent
Aaron: Well... I'm already going to hell for kissing you so...I may as well take the scenic route
Christian: What God do you believe in
Aaron: It's not just God... it's everything... this... you... tonight. I'm just... turning my back on it all. But you know I guess... a guy like you really doesn't
know what that's like you know... to be completely cut off
To me this speaks more to the nature of hell - being alienation from God and family - instead of the fundamentalist Christian idea of a burning hell - than it does to the nature of God. Tell me more what you're thinking about...

Yes that is the line I was thinking of, and I guess I can see what you mean. Aaron is talking in terms of he is going to turn his back on all he was taught was good and holy. I think God is in everything, everything is a part of God, good and bad. One door closing and onther one opening. It might not make sense up close, but if you step back and look at the big picture, it does.
