  In the West for most of us, life isn't a struggle. Sure, we have tough times - trying to find a job, pay the bills, escape from the WT, etc. but we don't starve or die of exposure. We have cheap food, heating, running water, shelter, etc.

  And then, with intelligence and human consciousness, some sensitive souls wrestle with the idea of "surviving" or trying to heal *whatever* is in their baggage is so against the odds and decide isn't worth it to pass along genes. Those who chose to opt--out and suicide... Is that intelligent decision to "throw in the towel" to concede to the fittest another way biology makes its dominance (or not) its way to the top to survive? Survive to what?
  

  Is reality then that weak people don't belong and they should just shuttle off? Damn, that's depressing.
  

  I'm looking up that book. Gotta find the author through amazon.

  ever hear somebody say, "trust your gut..."?.

  or, like obe wan kenobe: "trust your feelings...."?.

  have you ever followed that "little voice" that whispers to you that you should or should not do something?.

  That slick repackaging of old ideas can snag newbies at every turn.

  ...To the making of books there is no end....

  I do believe that effort and focus = results. But not in the magic, Ronda Byrne (Abraham-Hicks, and all other guest stars on the DVD) sort of way.

  The marketing and CULTure of The Secret and all its related branches of experts was a great learning phase for me.

  I will look into "The Selfish Gene." It sounds like a good read to help explain the new territory I'm exploring. Thanks for the recommendation.

  Cofty, but what makes them successful? Why do they exist and have a seeming mission to survive.

  Real, authentic wonderings.

  The more I learn about Prince Rogers Nelson, the more I wonder about the definition of eccentric.

  From there, if you are wealthy, your mental health is treated much differently from the average Joe.

  Ain't it all a blip?

  i had never heard of this woman, but given prince's jw connection and this person's identification as an evangelist, is there a jw connection that anyone knows about?.

  RIP

  Can't imagine her sufferings after the overdose.

  Hope that she found peace before leaving this life.
