This is just more evidence of a very narrowed and/or short sighted field of view. When you use the word 'moment', then how long or how far does this extend for?

If it was noticed I am talking about human beings, and is how long their existence extends for the same as how long your "moment" extends for? If no, then I prefer remaining looking at and discussing what I have actually said, and meant, and not discuss some very narrowed perspective of things.

Thee actual Truth of things is not found nor seen in nor from narrowed nor distorted perceptions.
"At the moment" = "The present" = "Right now." Relative to human experience, that doesn't normally last more than a second or so.
So, here we are now with the actual PROOF of just how limited, how narrowed, and how short sighted your actual field of view is. If you are only looking at "a second or so", then you really need to broaden your horizon if you want to be able to look at, see, and understand what it is that I am talking about here.

Okay. If this is the extension of your field of view, then you never be able to see, understand, nor grasp what I am talking about and saying.

Nice proof that you didn't understand what I was talking about. You made an assumption that I was talking about something else and launched into an argument about it.

Did I?

What was the actual so called "assumption" that you are claiming I made here?

And, what is the actual truth then?

I see you didn't understand my post amidst the additional assumptions you're making.

You keep making these claims that I am making assumptions. But when you are asked to make clear what you presume these alleged "assumptions" that I am supposedly making, you do not back up and support your claims at all.

What are these supposed "additional assumptions, which I am now supposedly making"? Or, are you not going to clarify this as well?

I OBVIOUSLY just asked you three clarifying questions, of which you can not or will not answer and clarify. Yet you somehow perceive clearly OPEN clarifying questions to be some sort of "additional assumptions".

Maybe if you STOPPED making assumptions and just STARTED answering clarifying questions, then you would not get so bogged down.

Also, do not forget thee actual Truth and FACT; Human beings OBVIOUSLY do not need money to live.

You do not have a good track record so far of answering the actual clarifying questions I ask of you.

What can be clearly seen is you are just basing your own conclusion here off of your own observations only, and your own assumptions and/or beliefs about what is true.

Are you able to back up and support this claim? If you believe so, then do it. List some clarifying questions that you allege that you have asked me and I have supposedly not answered. Then we will see just how much truth is in your claim.

That may well be true if I actually did what you propose here, but I have NO beliefs, my own conclusion is NOT based off of my own observations only, and what assumptions do you claim that I am making here? Until you can show any, then what you say you can clear see is only a fabrication of your own making.

See, it is an OBVIOUS FACT that human beings do not need money to live, which you obviously have not been able to successfully refute, although you believe that it is not even true.

No. Did you say it directly to me, or to someone else?

If it was to someone else, then were you expecting me to see it?

Will you provide a link to where you said it, and thus to who?

Also, what will have become very obvious is when I have noticed you repeat the things that I say, and I ask you to provide evidence to back up and support it, you been completely incapable to do so. Whereas, when I say those things I am able to completely back up and support them, with evidence and proof.

Also, let us not forget; Human beings do not need money to live.

It's not about money; it's about loving and trusting someone and being massively betrayed in return.
