Ben,

I did say it makes some interesting points, especially not being one to sit 
around on my a$$.

However, in my experience there are two types of people who get off their 
butts:

1. The Type A - primarily motivated by money, power, greed and the need to 
control. Bill Gates for example. As successful as he gets it will never be 
enough because money, like all material things, is an illusion. It will not 
fill the void, it will not make you happy and in essence it becomes a false 
and controlling god. These people end up with cancer, heart attacks, 
divorced, bitter, suspicious etc...

2. The spiritual person - primarily motivated by the higher good for all. 
Ted Turner, who I used to think along with Bill was another massive waste 
of skin, came to the realization that more money was just that and no more 
- but more money. He gave (is giving) 1 billion to the UN to assist 3rd 
world countries. The spiritual person is calm, knows that there is 
something more than this Earth, has infectious happiness and is willing to 
share the means of getting there.

If a person chooses to get of their ass for reason number one I would 
rather they sit right back down. Mother Theresa was far richer than Bill Gates.
