The following is a reply to my last post, from a lovely woman who’s been active on the integral forums and in life for a long while:
Bob my friend,
Decline, decay and resignation you say. I rise to their defence.
Decline: can be wonderful when it serves diminished ambitions cause then you can see how pointless most of them were.
Decay: of body, mind, possessions can be amusing when not extreme and taken as part of being human.
Resignation: can be priceless when she becomes the delightful acceptance that THIS (whatever is happening) is IT (life in full) and we get to chew the darned carrot of every moment, juice dripping down our jaws.
The defence rests. Munch,munch.
