TwiLight Zone, Outer Limits or Indelible Impressions of Talking Heads? Silicon Investor - Is it us, or are we it? "... enjoys seeing old thread mates kicking around." Any chance you know of a JACK on the GPGI thread, as not only is he still "... kicking around." but still "kicking himself in his rear-end in public." It was not until i saw some men years ago in the Middle East flogging themselves with chains of iron to show in public their allegiance to their object of worship, and through the pain they received in public they enter deeper into thoughts that they are now more worthly and closer connected to what they hold important. Seems to me that gold bugs would display lots of this type of activity, but as yet i see none done in public. On the other hand i have observed a tremendous amount of this type of self-flogging by those who invested into what was a sure-fire red-hot to the moon in a few short days or weeks opportunity to extract precious metals from dirt cheap desert dirt. We all heard & observed "misery loves company" but here it seems that a desert dirt type misery has a tendency for these folks to keep the company invested into as a place of permanent misery to continuously flog themselves in public. Something about one's honor being corrupted and only through a journey where one constantly exacerbates the pain might a callus form thick enough so that when thoughts touch this surface of false-hope no more pain will be felt, just a dull reminder of what not to do. In theory maybe, but even if so the JACK(s) have not the training nor the insight of others, who like those masters of martial arts where a hand can break a brick without shattering any bones, before the hand becomes hard and thick with a layer of callus at the striking point where the force is transfered from hand to brick, one needs to first allow the soft hand to receive what is a learning lesson to teach and allow time for soft tissue to firm-up a healtly foundation so that layer upon layer of protection can be obtained. My observations of JACK is that only layer upon broken layers of blood & tears have been allowed. Not good to kick oneself for making a mistake, as it prevents learning about the error when the new pain arrives as punishmint.

Maybe the first step needed before progress can be made is to understand that no progess has been made, and from this one should either do more of the same, or not. d:oug
