Hi James et all, Just got around to reading your blog post, James. Interesting perspective and, I have to say, a reflection of some of my own inner dialogues from time to time.
I keep writing a response and then deleting because it's all just about myself. but then again, what else have we got to use as our template for evaluating the world about us? Keep on as you are, for as long as you can manage it. The ten years I worked as a hodcarrier/labourer contained some of the best thinking times of my life. I never read and applied philosophy or literature more clearly to the world about than those years. And then I sold my soul to the devil!
