Beats the shit outa me. Maybe it's to learn to play nicely with others without understanding the "rules" of the game. :-) > It's real to me that I'm on a planet called earth that is not > in very good shape.

It's set in Hell. Two devils are talking in the foreground. In the background, this guy is pushing a wheelbarrow full of rocks, eternally. He's sweating like a pig. But on his face is this enormous, shit-eating grin. He's whistling. He's actually *enjoying* pushing the wheelbarrow. One of the devils is saying to the other, "We've got to watch this guy...he's got a bad attitude." Sometimes all you need to escape from a "trap" is a bad attitude. :-) . . . > If there is a way out it should be well taped.

If the universe is smart enough to create a world of individuals, each of them completely unique, it should be creative enough to figure out an equally unique number of Ways for them to figure out who the heck they really are. That's my theory, and I'm stickin' to it. :-) > I don't think it's a "you gotta figure it out all > yourself from square one" proposition.

If you haven't figured it out by now, it's not like I have any cosmic answers. I don't even seek them that much these days. I am far too entertained by the question to worry about finding the "answer." :-) Unc To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
