If you feel inclined to help her, and I wouldn't suggest that you shouldn't, follow your convictions and go for it.

Devote the rest of your life to her, like so many who attempt to magnetize attention, and who I've seen have perfected the art of being the social equivalent of a celestial "black hole." Light goes in, but never comes out.


I can't devote the rest of my life to her.
That is reserved for my wife and children.

Love is the polar opposite of that black hole that you described.

There is an infinite supply of love that can continue to replenish what goes in.

With enough of us helping her, the love goes in so fast that it overfills the blackened void where she has no other choice but to give some back.

You/others are very quick to judge her. That's simple.
But, have you ever tried to help her?

It doesn't take much.

Simply a message of kindness.

That's all I'm saying.
It's effortless and fills the giver with an equal amount of good feeling.

As a group, their is nothing we can't change.

Peace.

Hey Selectric ... you're absolutely right.

Following one's convictions is very important.

Particularly to whom one chooses to devote the rest of one's life.

Perhaps we should narrow that global perspective down a bit -- to the 'purpose at hand,' on SI investing message boards per se -- to 'one's investing life?'

VERY meaningful, IMO.

What say you, Selectric II?
