With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy - I mean that if you are happy you will be good.
Too much sanity may be madness and the maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.
I enjoy paying taxes. With them I buy civilization.

My second day recruiting was not nearly as successful as the first. The only bright spot was that I realized that I can go online at the library during my breaks. When it’s 97° outside I need air conditioning breaks.
I did meet one really cool guy today. His day job is working for FedEx but he is also a bass player. He’s played with Ryan Adams.
When I got home I found that I had left my computer connected to the internet all day. I just missed an IM from Leah too. I really need a Leah fix.
I found out that I’m not going to be seeing Stacey , Gella, orMy Favorite , when I thought I would. That is so disappointing. They are three very special people.
The Strolling Saint got me thinking about one of my favorite topics, forgiveness. I always preach forgiveness but it is not my natural inclination. My inner self believe that maxim, “Don’t get mad get even.” I know that is wrong though. It isn’t just morally wrong. I know I’m much happier when I forgive. Letting things go is so much better for my mental health.
I’m having trouble with my email. I used to use Netscape messenger but Netscape Navigator doesn’t work too well so I switched to Mozilla. Mozilla’s mail program has real problems so I switched to Outlook express. I can’t figure out how to use all the features now. I can’t quote a message when I reply to it. Does anyone know how to do that?
Carey is feeling that she isn’t cool. If she is uncool how uncool am I? I must be like Death Valley at noon in July. **hugs**
The one good thing about having friends with self-esteem problems is that it helps prevent me from having them. I see how wrong they are about themselves.
People have been so nice to me the last year. I think being sick did a lot for my ego. Joni Mitchell said “You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.” I think people were afraid that I’d be gone so they appreciated me more. Not that made it worth getting sick. I’ve been feeling really good lately. I hope this keeps up for the next fifty years or so. Lets make that 55, I want to make it to 100. I’ve already invited people to my hundredth birthday party. Leah will only be 72; she’ll have to take care of the rest of us. Stacey you’ll only be 70. I don’t think I’ve formally invited you yet. Consider yourself invited.
Why are the entries I write at night shorter than the ones I write in the morning?
