I feel we're born around the same time and feel that the world is dramatically changing (and not in a positive way ), I'm way NE of where you live, but still relatively remote...... anyways, please keep up the good work!<br />Thanks.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-68416377474330979162014-02-16T16:02:53.032-07:002014-02-16T16:02:53.032-07:00I've been watching PM prices (silver especiall...I've been watching PM prices (silver especially) like a hawk, Brian, and I agree that things are indeed becoming "interesting". 2014 may finally be the year when things really go down the shitter and the PMs, ultimate safe harbors that they are, respond by delivering a startling upside performance. We shall see.<br /><br />Thanks for the heads up on that book by Tolle. I never heard of the man or his musings until you mentioned him, but I'll make it a point to get a copy of his first book ASAP.<br /><br />One last thought. I agree that it's sometimes best to let nature take its course insofar as to how others conduct their lives. You just can't teach some people (a lot of people, actually) a damned thing, so the best thing to do is just stand back and let them go their own way. If that means they stumble head first into an open sewer or take a few up the wazoo, so be it. It's the only way they're gonna learn (provided they're smart enough, or humble enough, to learn).Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06784002654652573172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-69179911388581228922014-02-16T11:09:09.885-07:002014-02-16T11:09:09.885-07:00Thanks for swinging by Marcus!

One of them gave me Tolle's first book. Since then I have remained pretty conscious and cognizant and every time I try to help someone in the same boat and they refuse- I accept it. I am in awe that so many people must do what they do- but they do. Lmao. I would have too- up until about 7 years ago.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009623520148094685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-30506644873581862342014-02-16T10:05:48.374-07:002014-02-16T10:05:48.374-07:00At least you're cognizant of your own ignoranc...At least you're cognizant of your own ignorance/dysfunction, Brian, which puts you a lot further ahead on the path of wisdom (most people cannot or will not admit that their perspective on things may be a little, or a lot, messed up......in other words, they're ignorant of their own ignorance).

I don't know that we should stop trying to help those we see who are in trouble because of the life decisions they made along the way. You're right that most of the time they will reject our offers of help. But, I believe that every once in a while the right message does get through. I remeber the exact moment int ime when the right message got through to me.Jim at Asylum Watchhttp://conservativesonfire.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-9937900912315885072014-02-16T07:16:46.389-07:002014-02-16T07:16:46.389-07:00Brian, Have you taken advanced psychology classes?...Brian, Have you taken advanced psychology classes? You have summed up what any good therapist would hope to accomplish with any dysfunctional patient. It took me six years of school and many thousands of dollars to learn what you know.

We're too collectively fucked up as a species to merit that kind of attention and would trample underfoot any pearls of wisdom bestowed upon us like the swine we are.
