stevenaia Michinaga: I try to fill in for Sylectra now if I can
Alfred Kelberry: 7 pm, not sure about fridays
A question of "Enoughness" offered by Alfred (My word, his topic)
Alfred Kelberry: do you guys feel like you need a bigger house and a bigger car?
stevenaia Michinaga: no, actually
druth Vlodovic: why?
stevenaia Michinaga: would love smaller "things"
stevenaia Michinaga: sometimes it;s simply enough
stevenaia Michinaga: and more get;s you very little
stevenaia Michinaga: most of the times more is a way to impress others
stevenaia Michinaga: or go a bit faster
stevenaia Michinaga: (lacking patience)
Alfred Kelberry: good to know, though rather expected answer given enlightened members of pab :)
stevenaia Michinaga: everyone has their own answer, what's yours?
Alfred Kelberry: most people are drawn into "more" and "bigger" though, it seems
stevenaia Michinaga: perhaps shinny things?
Alfred Kelberry: stev, i like things to be cosy :)
stevenaia Michinaga: not sure there would be any more satifaction in that
Alfred Kelberry: despite the size
stevenaia Michinaga: but cosy can be very small
Alfred Kelberry: or big
stevenaia Michinaga: more pillow just gets you lost
stevenaia Michinaga: not more cosy
Alfred Kelberry: ah, cosy and functional - there
--BELL--
stevenaia Michinaga: I live in a small house in a big neighborhood
stevenaia Michinaga: but it's just fine
stevenaia Michinaga: roses and birds make it quite complete
Alfred Kelberry: lovely :)
Alfred Kelberry: i hope there will be a shift to roses from greed in peoples pro-capital mindsets
stevenaia Michinaga: I remember someone said that you never get "full" with more money, so you never have enough
stevenaia Michinaga: if that's what you want
Alfred Kelberry: true
druth Vlodovic: maybe it's the appetite switch thing
Alfred Kelberry: it's just that your bar is set up higher
stevenaia Michinaga: exactly, you know when to stop eating
druth Vlodovic: missing something- so you try to "fill up" with whatever you can lay hands on
stevenaia Michinaga: no, but with some thing there is a built-in limit in your mind/body
Alfred Kelberry: i think until the social guides are altered, the context we live in, it will only deteriorate
Alfred Kelberry: occupy was a good attempt in awakening
stevenaia Michinaga: it is not over
Alfred Kelberry: yes, hopefully. it gave a lot of thought to people. sort of opened their eyes on possible alternatives.
druth Vlodovic: protesting isn't enough though
stevenaia Michinaga: I have always found optimism tends to energize change, pessimism is the easy and less creative way out
druth Vlodovic: you have to do something, figure out what you want, plan it out, and implement it
Alfred Kelberry: how is the tea party doing? do you think they have a chance to become the 3rd political power?
Alfred Kelberry: stev, true
Alfred Kelberry: read an article on it, actually. quite profound.
Alfred Kelberry: druth, yes. it was not very structured. but did move the ball nonetheless.
stevenaia Michinaga: always hard to understand how a following is created
stevenaia Michinaga: sometimes it's a word, other times it's simply a the right moment
stevenaia Michinaga: but moments change too
Alfred Kelberry: stev, could be an interesting topic: how following is created
--BELL--
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, we seems to enjoy "following' PaB in it's ever changing forms
stevenaia Michinaga: any thoughts on that ?
Alfred Kelberry: um...
Alfred Kelberry: oh, i can hear the ball :)
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: time to go, it;s been a long week
druth Vlodovic: bye steve
stevenaia Michinaga: night Druth, Boxy
stevenaia Michinaga: as they say on the radio, I;ll take the answer offline
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Alfred Kelberry: poof
Alfred Kelberry: guess the meeting is adjourned
