What was confusing for you?

I just thought it interesting food for thought.

It strikes me as philosophical twaddle.  "Existence" is wasted on those who do not appreciate it.

 

[Canine]

I agree with Lee.And I don't even know what twaddle means.

 

[LeeRevell]

Just a quaint way to say "BS".

Nobody had to teach me the difference between ugly and beautiful. It was pre-loaded, its in the DNA.
Ditto bad smell and good smell.
Ditto in tune and out of tune. Chordant and Dischordant.
Ditto love and hate. Happy and unhappy.
Ditto right and wrong.

Amazing gifts. Amazing potentials in the offspring for parents to build on.
Faith and willpower are more DIY perhaps.

(sounds all very.. like I smoke weed, but I don't, I'm a grandfather and can give opinions about most things).
