..... continued from previous page..... or go to your local house of worship and try going once a week for a month.... I have been involved with Bible Study fellowship, albeit with periods of absence due to travel, moving, illness etc... since Dec of 1999. I got interested in the bible due to reading WD Gann's book "Tunnel Through the Air" and he said to read the novel 3 times and then read the Bible 3 times and he said that one would see it was the greatest book ever written..... So I got interested in the Bible for the Crassest , most callous of reasons... so that it would teach me the secrets of time and price cycles and how to make money out of the markets.... Nothing Noble about it.....It was straight out of Jerry McGuire... "show me the money" along the way I learned way too late that it's not all about the money.... We all need money..... when we or our family and loved ones get sick.... it can take a shitload of money to try to get our health back.... but Wealth, Money and Fame do not absolutely lead to a happy fulfilled life.... In fact, a number of famous people and several of my friends I went to school with were ill served by having it too easy and having a trust fund.... or parents that substituted parenting, spending time with their kids and providing love, support and role models .... and just felt that money would ameliorate the situation and expiate any guilt the parents might have.... Kids who have rich parents have to live with the put downs and pervasive talk that Daddy got him his job and his family name is responsible for anything positive in their lives... Look at the innumerable people who have had drug and alcohol problems and committed suicide and yet they were rich...... OK.... Yorikke... so now that I have really been up on my soapbox.... I will yield the floor.... I was more of an adult at 15 and 22 than I was at 35 and 40..... I feel that I was pretty old by the time I truly became an Adult and by that I mean a responsible, accountable someone who is able to be honest about all of my endless string of screw ups.... But I believe that when and if one does reach adulthood... then their is no turning back... peace be unto us, John
