:0) the net is dangerous i was just thumbing through my e-mails and reading the various attachments, including one news letter titled "WHAT I LEARNED THIS WEEK ® - December 24, 2008" that referenced the national geography cover story on gold. as mentioned, i rushed out to get a physical copy to better feel the power of gold, the one elemental and noble metal that rules over all metals. no obsession here :0) after acquiring the magazine in paper form, i continued to read the 32 page news letter and read the following ... Damage by Josephine Hart, is a novel of a fatal, erotic obsession. It tells a story of a very powerful and wealthy man who falls in love with his son’s fiancée, a woman who exerts a dangerous control over him. As the son’s marriage approaches, the father plummets into the abyss of obsession, destroying his life and those of many others. We quote: I had opened a door to a secret vault. Its treasures were immense. Its price would be terrible. I knew that all the defenses I had built so carefully - wife, children, home, vocation - were ramparts built on sand. With no knowledge of any other path I had made my journey through the years, seeing and clinging to landmarks of normality. Did I always know of this secret room? Was my sin basically one of untruthfulness? Or, more likely, one of cowardice? But the liar knows the truth. The coward knows his fear and runs away. And if I had not met Anna? Ah, what providence for those who suffered such devastation at my hand! But I did meet Anna. And I had to, and I did open the door, and enter my own secret vault. I wanted my time on earth, now that I had heard the song that sings from head to toe; and known the wildness that whirls the dancers past the gaze of shocked onlookers; had fallen deeper and deeper and had soared higher and higher, into a single reality—the dazzling explosion into self. What lies are impossible? What trust is so precious? What responsibility is so great that it could deny this single chance in eternity to exist?” like, whoa, what incredible writing; and so ordered on-line same same. stocking up on reading material for 2009. already downloaded all sorts of new maps for my on-line unreal tournament gaming. love the net, just fantastic. cheers, j
