Timy vs. Gur

Dear Timi, Regarding faith in God. It is quite possible that in this case, we used the verb "to believe" in different senses. However, this does not relate to the essence of our dispute. You say: "by the term 'relaxation of nerves,' I meant the pursuit of perfection." Fine. However, this absolutely changes nothing. Perfection is a need, and prayer and the subsequent relaxation of nerves are merely means of satisfying that need. Similarly: perfection is what you treat as valuable, and meditation and the absence of feelings are means of achieving what is valuable. I, however, do not treat perfection as valuable and therefore do not take any actions to improve myself. If I were to love self-improvement, I would make an effort to make myself more perfect. Sincerely, Gur
