In a busy park there is a place where children like to play. In that park are also bicycles, dogs, joggers, lawn mowers, walkers, etc etc.
We are the children. Our elder brothers have simply put a fence around where we play so that we can play and learn without being disturbed by all the other goings-on around us. It is not to hinder us; it only helps us.
Thank you my friend for advancing the discussion !!!
I am in complete agreement that this arrangement might be helpful for the kids playing activities and safety from the strangers. But they are now fenced in. They are safe but are they truly free? That is the point I am trying to integrate.
What the heck is this free will they keep talking about? Now if one of these kids in the park falls down and break a leg- does he has to ask for specific help for a leg specialist? what if he does not know what a leg specialist is and just cries for pain to go away and the big brother is just standing there waiting for the right words to be uttered. Hey ! you did not ask the right question so we will not respond, first ask it correctly. This kind of stuff will not fly on planet earth. it is kind of funny to think about it. LOL!!!
Coming to think about it- They don't volunteer information like we on planet earth do when we are helping a friend or a neighbor. We will even say things that are not being asked specifically as we know the intention of the question and not the wording of the question. While confederation sources seem to take things/questions Literally...
What am I missing here? I just don't get it.
