Not only the ugliest car ever made, but a stealth bomb that almost brought Ford Motors down, like, terminally.Thought to be the ugliest car ever made!
Book me a room with a view, yes?So rather than the usual attempts to address the neurological issues we have in our brains, my thoughts have turned to moving to a universe in which brains are not necessary!
Have you read Final Exit?the next spurt of energy I have i want to use to arrange things so that I can pass if I need to... meaning get some affairs in order, and , well...

Not necessarily. It's possible to find a new professional focus of some sort if we can heal enough, and maybe the frantic climbing-of-the-corporate-ladder part is over, but the contributing part might be just beginning.realize that the days of a career and getting ahead are behind us.
9 years later...Why do so called spiritual people think that they have karma and afterlife all figured out? Why are they so sure about these supposed "laws of the universe" that they often refer to with such certainty? Why are they so quick to jump on board with believing and following these "laws?" Is it fear that's driving those decisions to have certain answers for the ultimate mysteries of life? Or is it tradition and the need to feel included? Is it something to do with one's particular brain chemistry? Or is it just an unconscious choice?
What drives people to believe what they do has always fascinated me and it's more interesting to me than the beliefs themselves.
