before)
No.
I prefer not to believe anything, I'd rather know.
I don't know the answer, but I like to guess.
First, I find it hard to separate the whole into parts (or roles).
Humans may have value as guardians, explorers and lovers.
These 'roles' don't cover everything, but seem to be important.
Like any good question, this one leads me to more questions.
What does the universe need and want?
Does the universe need protection?
Does the universe want to be discovered?
Does the universe need to love?
Does the universe want to be loved?
When the answer is yes, I know from personnel experience that
it is very, very significant, I hope the universe knows this too.
and my love
who am I?
"Ah, a wordsmith."
a little more
Right now I sit typing at the computer, wondering how long its been since I
first thought, I can't make you do anything. Oh sure I could make a joke and
you might laugh, but I won't take any credit for the sounds that come from
you, I just thank you for sharing.
Or I say something and you become sad, maybe a tear appears and falls to
the earth. Am I gravity? Causing you to rain down below on the soft parade.
I don't think I can take the blame, but just as surely I will try and make a
joke and may you laugh again, to share with all the world.
maybe a writer does make their readers want to read what is written, some
call it "a page turner".
in general

"No!" some other replied. "That's not fair because the majority will win!"

Labels
By definition an atheist can not be intolerant of someone who believes in
something that does not exist.
Now Jesus may have disagreed, but someone who believes in god, by
definition can not tolerate someone
who does not believe in god.
Just goes to show what definitions can do, or rather not do.
Labels are good for the buffet line.
I don't even know if the definitions are true. I prefer not to believe, but rather
know and understand; actually my aim is to
know through peace and love. I love God. Tolerance or intolerance has no
role to play. When Others have love, then there is peace and some
understanding, in other words, 'All you need is love'. In a truth I do know, I
don't quite know how to react to others that are without love. Flee perhaps,
go screaming to the hills. There are non-violent ways to fight, which require
an incredible amount of skill, such as explaining, persuasion, argument, even
charm and humor sometimes might work, my own tendency runs to some
tom-foolery, which may disarm, but over-all not terribly effective. I kid
because I care.
There are two places. Call them stores. In one store there are many rows
with many shelves; on every shelf in every row there is one item,
all the same. Your first time in the store, you might try to walk through every
row, look on every shelf, but before you can you will get tired and want to
rest, then you are....."At rest in the One"
....later, you wake up, hear a sound, grab One and go see what the ruckus is.
meanwhile the Other store waits for your arrival; with many shelves and
many rows; with many different items, no two exactly alike, you might try to
walk through every row, look on every shelf for the One, but before you can
you will get tired and want to rest; this time you remember where the One
was and you go back to the one store.
What happens to all is not exactly alike; even when at rest with the One.

watches snow not falling,
floating where it lands,
drifts waving, weaving

some live, some die,
some thrive, some survive;
divided, in the fall;
some break, some bounce,

Writer's Block Party
I don't have writer's block, or even a street where only writers live, either I
write or I don't and do other things that writers do; live&learn, love&be
loved, feed senses, read, take walks, look at people, look at sky, eat,
drink&be merry, be with friends, make plans, change plans, listen to music
inside&out, feel wind&sun on face, stop&contemplate about the space&time
We're in for and out of, seek adventure, new friends, new loves, and
remember to think, daydream, take care&give care, feed all hungers and
remember to talk; you know the usual stuff and think about writing.
