    But sometimes A grudge can weigh down even the best of men.

    If you could travel in time ... would you want to go back or forward ?

    Too easy: back in time. Before I left I'd just memorize a bunch of winning lottery numbers, sports scores, horse race winners etc., bet big and profit!!

    Speaking of time travel, Stephen King's newest novel deals with the subject and I thought he did a very good job. Check it out if you're a King fan, 11/22/63 is the title.

    The mark of the man of the world is absence of pretension. He does not make a speech; he takes a low business-tone, avoids all brag, is nobody, dresses plainly, promises not at all, performs much, speaks in monosyllables, hugs his fact. He calls his employment by its lowest name, and so takes from evil tongues their sharpest weapon. His conversation clings to the weather and the news, yet he allows himself to be surprised into thought, and the unlocking of his learning and philosophy. Ralph Waldo Emerson

    Would one accept as truth absolute the renderings of a madman who neither by his behavior believed or lived his doctrine ?

    Why do we accept the unknown as absolute but the proven as debatable ?

    Life is 10% of what happens to us and 90% of how we react to it.

    Every day try to achieve A true out of the body experience. Only in this fashion may we truly see ourselves in the starkest of realities. As we appear to others. As we appear to our mirrored image. Our true self. Will we be pleased with the outcome of this experiment? Each has to decide that for themselves. As for me, I long ago accepted that I exist as the only truly sane person in An otherwise insane world.
