[QUOTE="The_Observer, post: 179624, member: 9972"] I'll be straight here. Some of what you say makes sense, but a lot of it seems to be hyperbole. The stuff about your HS boyfriend makes sense. He was going to die, and by you telling him, changes the series of events. He's still going to die but in a different way now. Was his death inevitable? No, it just had a higher percentage chance of occurring due to other events you haven't linked. Perhaps they are past events prior to your wanting to tell him he's going to die, so there was nothing you could've done anyways. The stuff about God and Death and these other mythical or deity-type of figures are where the hyperbole comes in that sort of discredits the information that seems to have hints of truth to it. I'm not saying the God and Death parts aren't real to you, but in my reality they are only explanations for something larger we haven't been able to comprehend. Religion to me has an underlying truth behind all sects because all religions have eerily similar basis. That underlying truth is hidden in euphemism for ancient humans to better understand.
