Sometimes I really wonder where the regular posters (FMF, twhitehead, RJH, googlefudge, RC, et al) get the time to post in so many threads so often - do they sit in front of their laptop all day?? Or probably stay online with their Blackberry or iPhone! I can't manage more than two threads at a time, three tops.
But only rarely is a thread really interest ...[text shortened]... was just wondering, has anybody else read this book? What did you think of it??
Well, I haven't read the book, but I have read similar literature, so I think I would be somewhat familiar with some of it's contents.
I get on here around an hour a day because I'm a single dad, and my kids school is just across the road. Thats my "job", being on the pension, but even the government people tell to just stay put and look after my kid (ie not to try to get maybe a part-time job), and these people are suppose to hassle me to getting work...
Anyway... I often wonder how some of my opponents move so quickly and so often- as if they were glued to their pc's, but hey, you cant fault people for moving quickly. But you do wonder what kind of lives people have.
At the moment I have like one friend within a 250km radius. Maybe two. But really I am just a "home-body" and have to be for a while yet 🙂
But practising "spirituality" , which I have been doing for some years now, you tend to find that you "rub" up against materialists quite often. (Some of this is because of where I live and the conservative nature of the politics here).
Basically it means that my spirituality comes first, and that any work or any activity I may engage in has to meet with my "spiritual requirements" , otherwise I go schizophrenic. But I've worked all that out. It took a while, but now at least I know what I can and cant do.
Basically I am sickened nearly everyday for the amount of waste that materialists discard everyday.
I think there needs to be a balance between "materialists" and "spiritualists" in any given society.
I often wonder why I ended up here, but then I am reminded : It's prolly to balance up the numbers with the materialists.
Cheers for the OP, I really believe that if I were born about 30 years earlier I would have had several beatings and possibly murdered just for talking the truth to people.
Peace
