A few minutes before - when there were two thread with the same title and content, I've thought:

"Well, are you so crazy, are you so crazy to say everything twice, everything twice?"

Frigyes Karinthy (25 June 1887 – 29 August 1938) was a Hungarian author, playwright, poet, journalist, and translator.
This evergreen is from his literary parodies, called "That's How YOU Write" (Így írtok ti) parodizing Ady Endre, a poet, who liked repetition.

Unfortunately, most of his language plays can not be translated. Like my jokes.

I wish I knew more languages. But sadly I do not. For some reason I just can't break through and learn a new one. Oh well such is life.

It does bring up an idea of a common language or method of communication. Maybe some kind of sign language. We have so much in common in emotions and the physical body that it seems reasonable to seek more commonality.

I believe in a greater reality than what we can perceive with our physical senses.

I believe that there is a purpose to everything.

I believe that the Creator of this universe has given us messages over time.

I believe that there is light and darkness.

On what grounds do you hold this belief?

why would you ask this question?
what possible motivation would you have to "want to know" why he believes what he says he believes?

on this matter there is but only one answer....and Franktalk would be wise to ignore such facetious and disingenuous inquiries.

Any questions?
