MB - I hear a lot of talk about who's doing what but with the end game I had you'll find your entire life and the way you live it everyday is devoted to that end game. There is nothing you do that is seen as extra or special but maybe I should have clocked on a lot earlier when other people told me I was doing special things where all I had was a career and a car and a house for my children/family :? which was simply laying the foundations towards the end game.

Now you know what I mean about getting high on trivialties i.e. it's trivial in relation to the size of your end game. But it's like religion, it's ok as long as everyone is practising the same one.

What we are doing is the impossible, telling ourselves we are contribting to the cause but all with our own rules of personal comfort. This I refer to as the shattered windscreen approach where we get all these individual pieces of glass of which some can and some can't see they are supposed to be working together to form a single pane of glass and each piece thinks they are the centre with the pane being held together by them.

With no common protocol we rejoice that at least we are still holding loosely together. And with the wrong protocols, like money and sex, each piece feels they are doing their bit which for the most part is for no other reason than to give them the right to say they are not the cause for the pane failing to hold firm.

Indeed I feel it's embarassing that as a people we 1) even debate these things 2) ask questions like the one heading this thread and 3) even worse be at war over them.

If my observations are anything to go by then the majority of us see life as 'This is as good as it gets', so after years of revelling in babylon we gain comfort in saying anything done now must help as the revelling didn't make it any worse than it already was.

It doesn't take a genuis to know it just takes the wind to blow to see a shattered windscreen is not fit for purpose but each fragment is content knowing worse case it can cope on its own.

In practial terms this is where I see we are at so by all means embark on endeavours to put back in as who knows, in years to come we might even be able to hold back a force 10 gale...but that all depends on the size of your end game.

My end game? Hmmm...I think I've said enough about babylons daughters, overnight militants, hypocrites and parasitesniceone.gif
