<<Choose altruism.>>

Ugh. None for me, thanks. I'll take Objectivism for the time being. Are there areas in which the intellect is not supreme, yes. Do these areas apply in mundane, everyday life, no.

I think you need to take lessons from moonbean on making meaningless pithy statements that at least sound intellectual. As it stands you sound like a generation whiner.

<< no one says what they mean, or means what they say. >>

<< in the new millennium love is dead. >>

I tend to agree with boths of those, and it's a real shame.

Mwilding, out of the mouth of babes. It just so happens that you addressed that 'meaningless pithy' statement to somebody who found a great deal of pith in meaninglessness.

The goldsmith carries a touchstone.

Everyday life is not mundane. Without telling a story or using my typical esoteric rhetoric, I will say that to ignore the obvious sacred and to deliberately choose sleep requires a person distant from beatitudo, or alternately, love.

Cheers ! :)
