Original Message 1/11 04-Mar-03 @ 07:53 AM - REMINDER: Enjoy life
Basically, upon reflection of my own philosophies with other people, it has been drawn to my attention that I can appear rather negative at times. I won't get into specifics, but it made me realize that when we focus on our ideals, at times it is easy to get rather gloomy when considering the fate of the world. And it can be difficult to factor in other people and our interactions with them when developing one's personal belief system. The tendancy is to delve into oneself and lump the rest of the world into the "illusion" category.
But interaction is all we have. An isolated individual has no frame of reference in which to place themself in the universe. They are a pointless void with no purpose to the betterment of the human condition. Don't fall into that trap! (Yeah, i'm talking to myself!)
People, we have music. We have love for each other and respect for what we do. We have millions of people around the world saying "no, we don't want any more wars." Most days when you wake up, the sun is still shining. Just think... you can think! Think about it!
And come back to this thread when you forget. That is my hope.

"difficult to factor in other people" that could be an understatement Psy. I mean I do not know myself and if people respond to other people then this dynamic has more variables than participants. Of course there must be generics when propaganda works and futurists pull salary...
"lump the rest of the world into the "illusion"" -it is at least reliable.
"An isolated individual has no frame of reference in which to place themself in the universe. They are a pointless void with no purpose to the betterment of the human condition" You are weak Psy. This is all we ever are and will be. All of the gods and pseudo gods (love, family, technology, belief etc) are just systems to sooth our minds from the despair of lonliness. I am not lonely but i am alone

we are born of something somewhere....and though this may be the case...we may very well die feeling alone.
a little isolation from the collective can be a good thing....and though art film literature can espouse and reflect many a warm fuzzy feeling...yes!
love! yes!
a little isolated experience can broaden and
sharpen the senses......just as some time away from the dank can.
everything in moderation.....
but not too moderate.

Talk about weak. Being an Isolationist is just about the weakest, laziest, choice any human being could make. It's the ultimate cop out to human responsibility. I don't blame you cheddar. I can understand why you would choose to remain alone. No one will ever be able to blame you for making decisions that might change the world for the good or bad, you just simply exist. If something bad happens you can never be held accountable, and if something wonderful happens, you'll never be in the spotlight. What a wonderful grey world to exist in. But, I don't believe you. You are not alone.
