Let's face it, my moral structure and balance have always had an aversion to
"feel good" stories like that. i dont know if it goes back to my dad telling me
"That's girl stuff - yuk" or my utter lack of respect for almost all the feel
gooders I have ever known. Perhaps it is the total lack of any philosophical
strengths of the people I have met who are "inspired" by such messages. At an
rate, I get a real suspicious and sometimes violent emotional responses to
stories like that. I always feel much better after twisting them around to
represent a more realistic or probable or nasty scenario.
Basically I accept, but do not fully understand, peoples need for stories of
this nature. I hold myself and only myslef accountable for my mental and
emotional state. i wake up smiling almost every single morning, and go to bed
happy. I have been without money, sick and homeless and I did the same then,
perhaps with a bit of concern, but I was still happy. I attribute this to the
Atheistic outlook i have on life: I choose to live it happily - and fulfill my
biological purpose on this planet - live, reproduce, and die.
i would like to embed a meme in it, but frankly, i was joking more than
anything. You have all seen Richards anti-dote to phony virus spam at
http://www.brodietech.com/antidote.htm well, someone sent me this one, which is
the kind of humor I am talking about:
