He was obviously a very ignorant and apathetic person, to me at least. Explore your language and you will find potentially great things. I once stopped at 'superstring' when I was 12 or 13. To such a deep tangent has my way of thinking never been so bent.

On your potential growth idea, are you forgetting other things exist apart from human thought? There is a whole universe that influences our thought and evolution. There is no growth. There is only increase in number of things reflected.

You are a human in many ways. Like nearly all humans, you spectralise everthing. I apparently look down upon you. I am higher in a spectrum that you, again like many humans, create yet hate. A spectrum that those apparently higher within deny. Try explaining your opinion to the Buddha or indeed, in temporal relevance, the Dalai Lama. But perhaps, as a human, you'll respond with an equivalent to: "Ooooh, I feel so threatened by that pacifist bestard." Oh well.
