    We exchange ideas here, angelica. In the here and now. We share ideas. It's always moving. It's never "me". Or you.

    You've decided "capitalism" is the evil, and it isn't. I suppose after a millenia of generations it will and can be equivocated with something like human sacrifice, like Mayans sacrificing virgins on the mountain top, but, I know that isn't what you're about.


    sounds like it was about "her"
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    I can't say that I apologize Che. I don't know why the responses to your quandary resulted in such a variegated outpour of nothingness. I would think, as you read all these posts that you will gather in the good, discard the whatever, and rock on, like you always do.

    My daughter's boyfriend is very intelligent, and he went out and became a trucker, so that he could work one day a week--four a month, trucking for a temporary service at his own bare necessity. He spends the rest of his time learning, learning, learning. His own mother is constantly on his case because of his "poor work ethic", that is drastically different than her own. He sees through the system and the idea of committing one's life to the purposes of others rather than one's own purposes.

    My boyfriend, who has a vast educational background in architecture and engineering, works a few days a week at temporary services, in labour jobs, when he needs to, in order to "survive" while spending the majority of his time working on creating his own workspace and business.

    I'm surrounded by open, aware people who are open to the inner voice and their personal calling. I personally don't think it's at all lazy to answer the call of life in one's self. I understand many do, but that's based on their own value system, which in that case is quite irrelevent as a standard in judging others. Someday the idea of uncovering one's dreams and goals and living as an extension of that will be normal. It's certainly healthy, if you can learn to manage the slings and arrows of those who don't understand.

    That's wonderful to be surrounded by so many people who are also intune with their inner selves. I look forward to the day when it will, indeed, be considered normal. Until then I will continue to enjoy your posts and the feeling that comes along when you know someone else gets it. :)

    I agree, Abook. Great post, Angelica.
