Yakuzza Lethecus: i admire you for your strength to share so much publicly! i think you made me and others think a lot lately, dash
Dash Earthboy: thinking is good :)
Dash Earthboy: i'm following the example of my role models
Yakuzza Lethecus: can you elaborate on ur role models ?
Dash Earthboy: they do not come from my family
Dash Earthboy: all top 3 died from a form of suicide
Dash Earthboy: my top 3 are Socrates, Jesus, and Vincent Van Gogh
Dash Earthboy: the first two advocated thinking & acting & speaking with integrity
Dash Earthboy: Vincent tried to inspire passion and compassion as well
FcSeeker Resident: somebody might disagree with the suicide concerning Jesus, but I agree with you Dash; he was offered to avoid ...
Dash Earthboy: he was a teacher and minister for awhile
Dash Earthboy: he specifically vandalized the temple and challenged the authorities there: like robbing a bank in front of police
Dash Earthboy: his was suicide by proxy
Xirana Oximoxi: why so you think 'suicide' is a value in the models you have taken, Dash?
Dash Earthboy: not sure Xirana
Dash Earthboy: it just is a common attribute for them
FcSeeker Resident: IS that a value why you've choosen them to be your role model ???
Dash Earthboy: i chose them for the example they set on trying to help make this world a better place for all
Xirana Oximoxi: I understand... and the three have been important in human's history:)
FcSeeker Resident: as well Marting Luther King was; he also did the suicide
Dash Earthboy: you think so Fc?
FcSeeker Resident: I see that it's been the desterny to most of the great spirits in the history who's been walking on the path of Love
Dash Earthboy: i didn't see his assassination nor JFK's as "suicide"
FcSeeker Resident: he got the warning, but he neither gave up of what he wanted to do; to go to the publick cuz people wanted to see him
Dash Earthboy: i see what you mean
FcSeeker Resident: as well it was with JFK
FcSeeker Resident: also with Olof Palme
FcSeeker Resident: ah...with so many other great spirits
--BELL--
FcSeeker Resident: hi Susan
Dash Earthboy: waves
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey susan
iwandertoo Resident: waves
Dash Earthboy: Tom Petty told us "You don't have to live like a refugee"
Dash Earthboy: i don't plan to be an outcast in my new community like I was at my home's location

Xirana Oximoxi: ah yes:)
Dash Earthboy: phones are getting close to replacing our laptops
FcSeeker Resident: to people with good fingers :)
Dash Earthboy: :)
Dash Earthboy: and thumbs ? :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: especially africa seems to jump from no communication directly in the world of mobile computing
Yakuzza Lethecus: due to so little infrastructure
Dash Earthboy: yes yaku
Dash Earthboy: they're working on similar problems in Brazil
Dash Earthboy: where the next Olympics will be
iwandertoo Resident: this was india 10 years ago
Yakuzza Lethecus: those country´s can really teach us how to be grateful with so little
Dash Earthboy: yes
Arisia Vita: The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
iwandertoo Resident: :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: just appreaciating ,,what is"
FcSeeker Resident: on areas without electricity
Yakuzza Lethecus: appreaciating sitting together with 4 other great global brains
Xirana Oximoxi: 5 :)
FcSeeker Resident: people can be more happy than living in big city with all possible
Dash Earthboy: one caveat: being happy with what one has is predicated on needs being met
Dash Earthboy: needs vs wants
Dash Earthboy: hard to be grateful when tired or hungry or sick
--BELL--
FcSeeker Resident: thinking that all knows how the little wound in the little finger can take all attention...
iwandertoo Resident: one may still be happy altho tired and sick.
Arisia Vita: The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved — loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves. — Victor Hugo
Dash Earthboy: hard to be grateful, let alone happy, when hurting: ask anyone giving birth naturally :)
FcSeeker Resident: <3<3<3 to both
FcSeeker Resident: but...who seekes for own happiness all the time...who dont
FcSeeker Resident: I think that on that it's much based how one can BE happy...
Xirana Oximoxi: maybe it doea not exist beeing completly happy all the time... happiness is something we can appreciate more because we have it just time to time... when, for exemple, we stop and think of all we have, of all we can share ...
Dash Earthboy: yes
Xirana Oximoxi: ans to feel loved and appreciated is very important to feel happy:)
Dash Earthboy: yes
Xirana Oximoxi: and respected..in all senses
Arisia Vita: Maybe when the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
FcSeeker Resident: thinking that to love is even more important...
Dash Earthboy: doors, windows...:)
Yakuzza Lethecus: maybe drama, contrasts, what is is making unhappy when it doesn´t benefit somehow, i guess the creation of unhappyness is good for progress on an economical level, survival of the unhappyest :P <- nothing i gave much thought to, but might trigger more reflections
FcSeeker Resident: life anyway is changes...movement...nothing stays forewer no matter what we do...or not
Arisia Vita: The winds of change are always blowing, And every time I try to stay, The winds of change continue blowing, And they just carry me away.
FcSeeker Resident: but imo we can always try at least to turn also the drama to be the benefit
FcSeeker Resident: and not only to ourself
FcSeeker Resident: ...well...imo there is no such thing than 'own happiness' anyway...but shared happiness
Dash Earthboy: and then there's the narcissists
Yakuzza Lethecus: i got to go
FcSeeker Resident: at least I've felt even bad if I've got some reason to feel very great happiness and not had opportunity to share it with someone
Yakuzza Lethecus: nice to see everyone
Dash Earthboy: bye Yaku
FcSeeker Resident: bye Yaky
FcSeeker Resident: Yaku
iwandertoo Resident: waves
