" VOLUMES OF WISDOM " MY PHOTO, ©

No, my child, our soul is not a " tabula rasa" as some men of learning want to make us believe for our Lord has written on her volumes of His wisdom, that life's experience, helps us to retrieve! © Demetrios Trifiatis 27 January 2020 * Tabula rasa is the theory that our soul is a blank sheet of paper that our experience writes upon.

i believe our fate is already pre written and we are meant to follow the course until our end comes...some of us have longer journeys then others but they are all supposed to be as intended... good write my friend.... hugs

Certainly our path has already been mapped out for us. Of course we have to live our lives as he has said to stay on the path of righteousness. Tom

My friend, Tom, what you say is not that self-evident to the many! That is the reason I wrote it!
