You have a body.

• A body is made of matter and runs on energy.
  • You can only move your body, directly. you can only make your choices. #free-will
  • Your body can move other bodies, and your choices can make others' choices.
  • time slows down and mass builds for matter as it accelerates. #relativity
  • Your body will grow and hurt and heal and eventually disintegrate and become food. #pain #pleasure #death #law-of-return

affinity governs existence.

• Like attracts like into union.
• Difference repels when close, attracts when far.
• The more connected you become, the better you will feel. this is emotion at work, moving us together back to unity
• Union, community, epiphany, reuniting, birth, marriage, Shared joy/mudita and mutual bliss/orgasm bring us pleasure, which along with fear of pain, fuels our drive.
• The more separated we end up feeling, the worse you will become.
• Division, isolation, discombobulation, dismemberment, divorce, and death are painful, separating experiences you will want to avoid. #pain
• love is the answer.
