Solomon had it right...nothing new under the sun...(Have you seen the ads SI is embedding in the posts now if you aren't signed in w/ high enough membership, ads targeted on key words in the posts like Money...something new ) Socrates said we will never be happy because our eyes and ears deceive us with desire.<g> " We shall never attain completely what we desire, that is, the truth. For the body keeps us constantly busy by reason of its need of sustenance; [66c] and moreover, if diseases come upon it they hinder our pursuit of the truth. And the body fills us with passions and desires and fears, and all sorts of fancies and foolishness, so that, as they say, it really and truly makes it impossible for us to think at all. The body and its desires are the only cause of wars and factions and battles; for all wars arise for the sake of gaining money, and we are compelled to gain money [66d] for the sake of the body. We are slaves to its service. And so, because of all these things, we have no leisure for philosophy"........or fishing<g> LOL, Old dudes have figured everything out a long long time ago. youtube.com
