That was somet...Rick, heck of a last sentence man. That was something. I loved that part.<br /><br />I'd still love to get some thoughts on this some time (its a quote from a prior comment of mine):<br />“I honestly think (even in its purest form and without being a secret play for immortality) that a few people can get genuine CURRENT utility out of contributing to something they love which will outlive them.” And we get that utility merely because this too taps into some instinct we have from natural selection. This is a subtle point, but I think its real. There is a way to live in the moment, purely, aware that life is temporary and without Meaning, yet unselfishly building something for the future, not because it Matters, but because sometimes that's just what we are, what we do.<br /><br />M Mel, no probs because you're right that there's rarely anything new, but these things take repeating huh? One thing I've noticed about Rick, he's damned hard to insult. Here, watch this: “Hey Rick, you're ugly and stupid!”<br /><br />Also, yea, I love to think, and hence I love a place where people don't mind things being thought through. Thanks mucho for supporting that mode. <br /><br />On the other hand, sometimes its pretty simple. I just am this thing that I am. There's nothing else to say.<br /><br />ArthurAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26036650874725191.post-77996424883472610322010-03-06T16:55:08.252-05:002010-03-06T16:55:08.252-05:00Oh, and thanks for the D.P. story, other Anonymous...Oh, and thanks for the D.P. story, other Anonymous person.
