And makes me glad I'm a 'Nose' (Member of The Holey Order of the Septum.)

So many people say this is their last life. They don't wanna come back. Yet still they breed.

Was it in the Emerald Tablets, or the Kybalion? Food and sex is what keeps us trapped here. The two things the Cathar Perfects were allegedly supposed to avoid as far as sex is concerned, and keep to a minimum as far as food is concerned. (I also read the ideal way for a Jain to die was to starve to death.) But that's what we seem programmed to live for. The Cathars had it right, so we can't have that; and they were all but wiped completely from the Earth. Not quite, but there's not enough now to make a difference.

Then there's the 'willful ignorance' factor that so many cling to. DON'T TELL ME! I DON'T WANNA KNOW. Ayuh, that 'tude is gonna help ya live so much longer. . .NOT! Not that I see why anyone would want to, but that's just my opinion. (When the tsunami comes, I ain't leavin', and when the ICBMs come in I'm more likely to drive toward ground zero. I expect very little traffic, and can finally find out how fast my Toyota can go.) So many comfort zones are so. . .I don't think there's a word strong enough in the English language, so I'll just say 'EVERY EPITHET IN THE BOOK'!
