Tarnicus: We are the same people who you see in your offline world every day :) This phenomenon occurs offline too, people just generally get too guarded from negative experiences and there is too much focus on the shit in life. A smile can do the same trick passing a stranger :) These forums are the cumulative effects of conscious positivity being shared <3
mobeck: "conscious positivity" I like that. I'm going to use that phrase more often.

"In the Worlds before Monkey,
Primal chaos reigned, Heaven sought order.
But the Phoenix can fly only when its feathers are grown.
The four worlds formed again and yet again,
As endless aeons wheeled and passed.
Time and the pure essences of Heaven,
The moistures of the Earth,
And the powers of the Sun and the Moon
All worked upon a certain rock - old as Creation,
And it magically became fertile.
That first egg was named Thought,
Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha,
Said, 'With our thoughts we make the world.' Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch,
from it then came a stone Monkey.
The nature of Monkey was irrepressable!"
