2. is there an echo in here?
my life is as fulfilling as it can be, under the circumstances.
I think I usually find your posts interesting and inspiring so I am not sure how that did not go over at the party. I am also not sure that I like the idea of people focusing on living good and fulfilling lives on the deck of the Titanic. Is that really a better thing than trying to warn of the frigging iceberg ahead?

I am reminded of a favorite quote from "Fahrenheit 451" which I cannot quote verbatim. The fireman is complaining that he made the people unhappy, and someone told him that they need to be unhappy because there is a war going on and people are getting killed. So they should not be allowed to escape into their soap operas, they should be agitated to the point where they will do something about it.

I saw 6 degrees about six years ago. It was quite interesting. I even enjoyed Will's "thesis". I thought it was kinda odd how he vanished at the end, that the woman was unable to find him. It was interesting how a stranger is welcomed if he claims to be the son of someone famous.
