those put a smile on my face, but I am troubled >>>>>
an SI friend who only infrequently posts anymore left me an email this morning that disturbed me
he may be pissed off at my bringing it to this Porch
but here goes, since I am somewhat pissed myself
my thoughts in reply are in brackets
but I have not replied, except to say just a couple things
like I try to learn as much as I try to teach
and loneliness is a dagger that pierces many lives
curious about other people's perspectives
thanks for any comment, Jim

You are smart for which I respect you. But I don't want to talk to you.
[ok fine, he is not 100% serious, an old line used too often]
You are a gambler who utilizes your excellent writing abilities to influence your personal motives as a hedge on the Jackass Porch & SI.
[I try to learn much more than I try to teach or influence;
for every message I post, I read 6-8 messages, except for my frequent one-liners;
I have learned a tremendous amount from other websites, and from other people who post;
there is always an element of needing to influence others in order to justify one's existence or views within oneself]
These microcap miners can be moved tremendously by one member of SI including yourself.
[total bullshit, market is 1000x larger than any one person;
and tinycap miners are 100x larger than any one person]
That's not nice & I don't want to be part of that. [fine]
I only know how to make money the old fashioned way. Hard work.
[go for it, but be careful it doesnt blow away in storms, frauds, cycles, or whatever]
Call me stupid and any other name you want. [only playfully]
You may end up rich, but you will end up lonely and in shallow relationships.
[could be, dunno which I would prefer if I could only have one and not the other;
money would allow some freedom to explore new avenues with a sense of self-worth beyond the spiritual realm]
That's not the life I'm seeking. [ok] |
