Personal mission?
Re: Personal mission?
It's why I wake up everyday and thank God I'm not Leonardo DiCaprio.
Re: Personal mission?
Why not both?
God recommends Soma instead, but ok:
Those who study the Vedas and drink the Soma juice, seeking the heavenly planets, worship Me indirectly. They take birth on that Kingdom of Heaven, where they enjoy godly delights.

Re: Personal mission?
I’m never on reddit. Do people speak frankly about value systems there?
Maybe there’s too much color commentary for some but where else are you going to find the intersection between the high-falutin’ and the bawdy?
Shakespeare, for one.
Sure, maybe Augustus was a little bit sanctimonious when he called out celebrities for not being more like Richard Branson, and maybe Kriegsspiel flamed a bit much in response, and maybe Jason and I admire the female form a little butt too much, but we can appreciate beauty without objectifying can’t we?
We could clean the boards of this and end up with a non-offensive non-denominational Christmas song by Philip Glass.

And nothing against Glass! Dude is legit.

Go back and read the first page of this thread. How useful is it? How well do the replies give insight relating to the thread subject? Consider this as haven taken place as an actual, in-person gathering, in Jacob or M741's living room. Folks are gathered, sitting around, sharing very useful information on a subject important to them. Respecting each other. Considering one another's inputs and being thoughtful to reply in useful ways..
And look at this third page. How useful is this? Again, imagine this occurring at that gathering in M741's house. Some new folks come into the room making short, snappy comments, some only tangentially related, some about asses, freddy mercury, and Serena William's panties (?!). None of them useful, or even funny, really.. culminating with one guy wheeling in a TV, putting a DVD into a player, and blasting out a song from a South Park album with a literal piece of shit on the cover. The original members of the useful conversation have now either left or have been silent for a significant time. It's devolved into a frat party.
