Questions That I Don't Have Answers

Heaven or Hell

I think heaven and hell exist, but maybe some of us just die. Not good enough for heaven, not bad enough for hell. Dying sounds better than eternal fire.

life is a kaleidoscope...

...and every time you twist the tube, the crystals of fate shift to a new pattern. Each and every damn time. O'Fortuna indeed!

If there is any coherent information survives after death, no one has presented definite proof.

So the world will go on spinning as each generation strives to avoid getting flung away.

There is the low-ordered probability of there existing a multitude of earth sized worlds (+/- 100% mass) in reasonably stable orbits inside the Goldilock Zone of stable, Sol-type stars (within temperature gradients) NOT located in regions of Gev level radiation sources. That have existed for billions of years.

Enough time to begin evolving proto-celluar life. And then another billion years to evolve simple, multi-celluar lifeforms. And then another billion years to evolve complex collective organisms.

The odds are infinitesimal that a handful of advanced civilizations, widely scattered among billions of stars, throughout billions of galaxies over billions of years, would ever bridge mega-light years to establish any contact in real time?

From complex organisms, it only took our planet a hundred million years to evolve what we smugly pretend is intelligence.

And it was tens of millions of years from the first proto-primate to the first humans.

Who, in honor of 19th century pseudo-science of Racist Eugenics, we pretentiously have named Homo Sapiens. When in all honesty, the correct species designation for modern humanity is Homo Anthropophagus.

No one is alive today, whose progenitors did not accomplish horrible, horrible actions, to live long enough to breed.

Our direct ancestors lived as primitive brutes for a hundred thousand years. Until the sharper ones convinced the stupid that the Sharpies are god-kings that the Dullards , as their chattel, should bow and grovel to in worship. That has gone on for more then ten thousand years.

Finally, for the last thousand years, we have come to the Age of the Machines. It seems as if their evolution doubles and redoubles every century. Then every decade. Now it appears the machines are visibly evolving every year and still accelerating.

The visible Universe is extremely hostile to biological life. The future of cosmic exploration and development of resources will belong to the machines.

In the long term (over the next billion years) it may turn out that the Great Womb Mother Earth's child will be technology. And we biologicals disposed of as the afterbirth. That in the womb enabled the machines development as the real baby.

Just what the doctor ordered to make my Friday tolerable but with a gigantic smile :)

I have been AWOL from Literotica while dealing with some serious health issues that along with the treatment and medications has brought on a case of the blues and I don't mean balls either! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Susan Jill Parker for getting out of my Friday Funk and able to concentrate on a story with the good fortune of being crafted by your talented mind. I was sitting in the room as you were asking the questions and wanted to shout out - In all my years as a mortician, I could never understand the pomp and prayers given to the dead with the sincerity that they were headed to Heaven, when just a day before as I embalmed their smelly corpse as the alcohol scented blood drained from their corrupt body before I made them 'human and whole' again. The amount of dollars spent on food alone for the funeral luncheon would choke a horse. The priest always made them saintly when in reality they were gamblers, drunkards and cheaters who were certainly headed to Hell's fire before there restoration. I have no idea if there is either place, certain religious beliefs will say if you 'sign on' with their flock, you get a first class ticket to heaven! All I know is when lowering the vault into the cemetery plot, it's so heavy it takes a winch and several men, there is no way you are getting out of there! BTW I was raised in Catholic School and Church until I was 12-so you know what was drilled into my head.
I watch a ton of educational and history based TV, read countless books and articles in magazines and newspapers. I'm in awe of what our predecessors have endured, invented and suffered with. At times I question who is the super race-the ancient Egyptians come to mind. I would have loved to have been aside Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill to name a few, how nice it might have been to experience the California Gold Rush or building the cross country rail system, that is after serving on the Pony Express. I've always wondered if there is life on the other 8 planets and what it's like there. Did the USA really go to the moon or is this some more government propaganda to coverup where money is really spent. What actually happened at Area 51? Where is Jimmy Hoffa, the list can go on and on.

While I love the female form and in particular, eyes on tall real blondes, I enjoy all sizes of breasts, bottoms and pussy. I'm much more into the minds and conversation, intellect and caring nature of a lady than anything else. If you have respect and love, the physical sex will naturally come along. I read literotica for it's literary values, good writing, plots and especially good authors who can write a feature without having some guy with a monster cock creaming all over a petite lady who is built like the proverbial 'brick outhouse'. Literotica has some really good authors and for my 2c worth Susan Jill Parker is one of the best. She can craft a real erotic story that is not only believable, but composed well and still have you with throbbing wood. On the same note, look at what she has written with this-and the sheer imagination and research done to give we the readers pleasure.

I have no desire to cross dress or act out and really perverted fantasies. I do enjoy sex with water involved, meaning, shower, beach, swimming pool or hot tub, but then a very good friend operated a 'erotic spa or bathhouse' where everyone got a 'happy ending' and I was fortunate enough to be a 'special friend' who got to use the spa facilities being that they were open 24/7 and I spent a great deal of time in her area with my position.
I could go on and on, but for a great five star read, try some of Susan's stories-you will not be disappointed but well satisfied. Above all thanks again for letting me on my soapbox and run off at the mouth. My days could be numbered, but this is one of the the reasons to get up every day Smiles SJP :) jaybird

Crossdressing Males

I don't wear dresses, but I can see the attraction. Women's clothes can be silky, soft and sensuous. It is only on rare, special occasions that I see many women dressed like they mean it. Sexy but not slutty. Male crossdressers don't dress up in pantsuits like so many women do. They dress in slinky dresses and stockings and garterbelts. I contend that a lot of them do it because lot of women in today's society don't and the men are wishing the women would and dressing in women's clothes is the next best thing. I know a proud crossdresser. He looks better as a woman than he does as a man.

Myself, I love the feeling of silk briefs. I have gotten them from Fredricks, Magic silk, Mansilk, and a few others. The best brand I found was Iris Silks. Fit those parts like a glove but they stopped making them. Somehow, a pair of my wife's panties got mixed in with my silk briefs. I put them on with out realizing it until I took them off that evening. Needless to say, I kept them and felt sexy when wearing them.

As to your short skirt, no bra person calling the watcher a pervert for looking at what she is showing: That is just an exhibitionist absolving herself of all the guilt and responsibility. "Just because I get off showing my pussy and tits, doesn't mean you should look."

You have questions? I have answers but that is enough typing for now.

You raise some interesting points

This is a tongue in cheek piece which actually does point out several social and economic problems we have in the US for which there seems to be no will or solution to address or solve. I think part of the reason for this is because the country is so completely fragmented. The United States is no longer consists of a united people with common interests, culture, and concerns. The United States has become a balkanized nation.

So many questions...

1/ it's "Lester, Norma and I will"... Take out the other names and see if it sounds right... "I will" vs "me will"

2/ On the subject of heaven... I personally believe that there is a vast "pool" of raw consciousness and emotion. Think of it like a big pile of Lego, lots and lots of the building blocks for making something. When we reach the point of development where we can possess sentience we get a bunch of those bits to make up what people call the soul, and when we die that enriched essence merges back in to the pool. That pool is where the notions of heaven and reincarnation come from.
To be fair, I have no better proof of that idea than anyone else has of theirs, however it works for me and fits with all the provided evidence.
In any case, live a good and full life, treat others well, and then if nothing else you will arrive at your deathbed with a reasonably clean conscience no matter what comes next.

3/ Why us, here and now? The irony in this question is amusing... People wonder if our planet is special, if there is a reason for us being here at this specific world and time. These people overlook the obvious fact that we couldn't ask that question if we weren't here in the first place. The matter of a thousand years either way is actually pointless if you think about it... What matters to our reaching this stage of development is our ancestors... Shift the whole history of humanity a few thousand years one way or the other and we'd still be at the same point in our relative history.
In geological or astronomical terms a few thousand years is almost no time at all.
Remember that alien really just means "not from here", so to the perspective of another planet's life we'd be the aliens. I'm sure there is life out there, and at least some of it must be intelligent, but the chances of meeting that life form with time and space being so vast.... Well the chances are literally astronomical.

4/ reincarnation see answer 2. It sounds like you're describing an interpretation of string theory that holds that the universe we perceive is a 3 dimensional cross section of 9 (spatial I think) dimensions. That theory has a lot of loose ends though.
Woo for science pun!
As far as the supernatural goes, well just remember that we only actually know about a tiny fraction of what makes the universe tick. There's so much that we don't know about, such that any good scientist shouldn't write off any theory unless they can solidly and reliably disprove it.

5/ guns... Guns aren't there problem, the irresponsible morons who let other morons get hold of them are the problem. Better, saner gun laws are needed. Nuff said.

6/ not sure of the question here... Do we all want to be heroes??
I think most do want that, some manage to do it.

7/ Back boobs are a terrible idea, sorry. They wouldn't work... Imagine a cow with udders on its back, how impractical would that be? Also, having a suckling child in front provides an evolutionary advantage by allowing the mother to better shield the child while it is vulnerable.

8/ cross dressing, now there's a minefield. Some do it for comfort, some because it's liberating, others because it feels more normal. It's like asking someone why they like a certain type of music, there's no single right answer.
Also remember that there are plenty of dual role individuals who may dress because they want to be a woman on a temporary basis but go back to male later. It's very complicated.
And besides, have you seen the junk men have to wear? Women's clothes are way nicer.

9/ cars just aren't made like they used to be made. These days they are either boxy, blobby or trying to look like something that just left the F1 track. No character or beauty in any of them.
Give me a classic caddy, a t bird, an older convertable... I want a car that is as much art and style as it is transport. Bring back the fins and chrome, dammit!

10/ Celebrity endorsements are easy... The more you earn the more you spend. Not like they do things like saving ya know. After taxes, property upkeep and staff costs they have surprisingly little left. Being rich ain't cheap.

11/ can help much there, I'm totally in to redheads, sorry. I think some men equate blonde with easy and/or dumb and thus blondes get away with more and get dates easier. Some women change their hair colour because it makes them feel more confident about themselves.

12/ people are hypocrites.
Some women dress provocatively because it makes them feel good... There is something to be said for taking a moment to just enjoy the feeling of being alive and "vital" (as in vitality).
Some women dress to attract attention but in general they only want attention from their target group of men.
Then again, a lot of guys need to learn how to be a gentleman and respect a woman's body, privacy, boundaries, etc.

13/ that's called racial profiling and it's bad. Not every Muslim is a terrorist, most Afgahies are nice people.

Enough ?

You can tell I was really tired writing that comment... The word my spellcheck mangled in the last answer was Afghanis.

Also I missed the last question... The answer to that is "corrupt people are corrupt"

T'was fun

Have you ever noticed how often people who claim to be reincarnated were either famous or connected to somebody famous in a past life. Such as Julius Caeser's dog or Shakespeare's ink supplier. No one ever claims they were a grocer in Birmingham.
As for breasts on your back, then perhaps vaginas should be on women's shoulders and penises on men's index finger, so you could tap someone on the shoulder for directions and have fun at the same time.
One question I have: if heaven is people sitting on clouds playing the harp and hell is a bacchanalian orgy, then is heaven hell and hell heaven?

Yes, Susan, Heaven is for Real

This was just what I needed on a dreary day--tongue in cheek humor. I love the story/letter/lecture(?). As far as your Heaven/hell question, read "Heaven Is For Real", a non-fiction book written by the minister father of a boy who experienced Heaven and lived to tell about it. The boy who had the experiences he told his father about was between 4 & 6 yrs old.
My name isn't Lester. I don't read all your stories on Lit, but I do read the ones that sound interesting--and usually are. Thus, I have read a majority of your postings on Lit. and given them 5*.

Just a comment

Dear Susan,
I won't pretend I have answers to your questions. I do want to say that I love your mind. The way you think, the things you think about. Ultimately there are only questions, answers come and go. I realize that knowing brings comfort and feeling secure, so the motivation is leading not the question. And within our motivated mind there are a lot of directions, all leading to the same......namely, more questions.
So, dear Susan, without answering any of your questions I want to thank you for your wonderful writing.
Take care, Thomas

I Know

Instead of just asking questions, why don't you just figure things out for yourself? I have. My only problem is when I start telling people they took me to Gotham City and put me in the Arkham Asylum. where I now wonder where are my shoes. Can someone help me find my shoes? Damn where is Batman when you need him. Uh-oh, they're coming. I have to go now. Bye

so many questions....so little time

Answers in no certain order. Black man vs rich guy...rich guy hired better lawyer. Guns....back in the day we needed gums for protection from England, indians (the term before native Americans), outlaws. Also needed it for hunting food. Nowadays it's still for hunting and protection from them terrorist you talked about. Though I am for gun ownership, I don't see the need for civilians to carry machine guns. Profiling...liberals cry foul at profiling so you will continue to be groped and delayed at airport screeners'. Tit's on women's back...I'm for it hehe. What happens when I'm dead? Creditors will curse me, worms will love me. My soul? Uhhh.....i guess I'm not the know it all some people say I think I am. Btw...if you do get boobs on your back, please give me a hug!

Correction, a class of 3 ;)

I read out of knowing you took the class.

Some very interesting issues raised (I was tempted to say 'points raised' but ever the British gent...yea right!! :)

As to the very last one with the news flash, sadly, that sells more than the worlds problems. Don't figure, huh!?

With the fear of sounding very selfish, please NEVER stop writing as you truly are gifted, (guess some small amount of praise should go to David Cassidy too for getting you going ;) I meant, started.

Thankyou Susan xx
