I like LJ because it can be anything you want/need it to be. Then again, I approach life as an existentialist. There is no point to anything. All the accomplishments and life you've had so far comes from your own rationalization/reasonings to make it worth while. You make them matter.

I grew up in a Buddhist environment. The first thing I learned as a kid is that life is pain. there is no escaping that. With that view, your main reason to live is to make your life as comfortable as possible, substituting one drug for another to make life more bearable. It's exhausting. It's a mind-set.

What's wrong with just BE? it's also a mind-set.

are you still flu-ing? Hope you feel better. I went out socializing at the club for the first time since being sick.
