[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 664153, member: 18958"] Cedar, I think their must be some biological imperative to this. I mean, if a culture, or species even, has their superstars hiding in a cave, the species will atrophy. The role of the talented or the most fit of a gene pool is to push the limits, to blaze trails, to test their superiority in the harshest environmental conditions. And this has advanced the species. Think about it. The problem now is with drugs (or even computers, etc) we are dealing with something outside of the natural realm. Can even our brightest and strongest survive a test with a chemical adversary or artificial intelligence? It makes one believe in science fiction, of which I was never a fan. It scares me. How wise. I agree with your father, Cedar. I have been thinking about my time in Brasil, especially. I gave up everything to go. Work. Home. Stuff. Money. How in Rio I lived in the present. In the moment. A physical life. An emotional life. I want it back. I was alive there like I am not here. I wanted to stay for the rest of my life. But I cannot go back for an extended period as long as I am with M. Or things change. Cedar, what specifically about your father's words freed D H? Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose. Nerf in a post wrote about beginning to ranch at a time she had nothing left to lose. She (and others too) write about this space as fertile ground for the self to be revealed. I will write on another thread about where I am with that today. [/QUOTE]
