In the process of backing stuff up and partitioning my hard drive to run Linux.
My wife has the bad habit of uploading 300 MB of pics and then not erasing the camera so the next time they get uploaded again along with the new pics.
Of course they get a different name and windows won't recognize them as doubles (I've found 5 or 7 of the same picture).
I've gotten rid of 6 gigs of pics in the last couple of days and 3 gigs of video.
Whore semen (you'll see)
And now, here it is folks.... your moment of Zen.

I agree with Mark in that you have exposed your opinion succinctly and clearly and in such a manner as to avoid misinterpretation.
That one MUST suffer to achieve or to be strong is crap. I know this keenly. As artists we are often told we must suffer for our art. It's hogwash. Many artists have achieved great things from great prosperity. One of the greatest works of art I have ever seen, the golden death mask of Tutankhamun, was undoubtedly created by a trusted and very well off royal metal worker, with access to so much riches and no need for any more for himself. This is arguably the most importal and most priceless piece of art in the world.
I don't believe the Bush's suffer and they do well enough. They sell you on your need to suffer to keep you satisfied with being down. It cuts both ways. The same is true for the likes of George Clooney, nephew to the famed Rosemary Clooney. Both achieve through position and contacts.
Employing only selective thinking I too could come up with examples to support my world view, but I find it more enlightening to view my surrounding from a place of neutrality and hypothesize from that.
That there is suffering and will likely always be suffering is indisputable. We differ on how much is "necessary". We also differ on perception somewhat. I do not say there is suffering because it is needed, but because it is there.
XTao Te Ching - Chapter 13
Accept disgrace willingly.
Accept misfortune as the human condition.
What do you mean by "Accept disgrace willingly"?
Accept being unimportant.
Do not be concerned with loss and gain.
This is called "accepting disgrace willingly."
What do you mean by "Accept misfortune as the human condition"?
Misfortune comes from having a body.
Without a body, how could there be misfortune?
Surrender yourself humbly; then you can be trusted to care for all things.
Love the world as your own self; then you can truly care for all things.
~ Lao Tzu

EDIT: I just put you in my Iggy-box. I highly recomend that you do the same to me. We're just going to end up pissing each other off.

My intellect has nothing to do with how smart I actually am or am not ...
