It's just nice to know you're out there plugging away. Sorry I didn't get a weight in to you back on 9/3... it was our "Labor Day" and I was off work and didn't open my email. I'll be sure to enter the October contest! Hope you are doing well.Laura Nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07916626845812229646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-394387932096121706.post-58854346177295680802007-09-10T21:33:00.000+01:002007-09-10T21:33:00.000+01:002007-09-10T21:33:00.000+01:00Don't sweat it fella.

Beliefs certainly are: it's a conscious decision whether or not you believe in god, witches, magic or Father Christmas. Desires come from within to, and to a certain level are under your control. Even though they originate from the subconscious, you can usually analyse why you want to follow them and make a conscious decision about whether or not you do. <BR/><BR/>While I might desire to eat the fattening foods on offer because I know they'll taste nice, it's unlimately my conscious decision as to wether or not I do. <BR/><BR/>Therefore, I submit that your beliefs and desires, and how you choose to act up on them, are entirely under your control and your actions are free and entirely your own responsibility.IWBOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10232582442528343282noreply@blogger.com
