Hello Sean,

 DD>> Jim sometimes exhibits an inflated opinion of his own self-worth and
 DD>> seems to think his opinions should be chiseled in tablets of stone.

Each and every one of us are our own little gods.
Pretending to be bigger, or smaller, than we really are.

 DD>> Sort of like he's balancing the problems of the world on the tip of his
 DD>> nose. Other times he's a decent sort. Don't imagine for a minute that
 DD>> his non participation is your fault. It's almost as if he has male PMS.

Some of us are able to solve the world's problems all by ourselves.
Others need help. But either way, all the world's problems get solved.
One way, or another.

 SD> Don't get me wrong, I like Jim.  He's always supported me in here and even
 SD> sent me a CD of his entire MM database.  It was just off-putting to me when
 SD> he said there were no more "engaging" conversations in the echo.  Sometimes
 SD> you have to start conversation to enjoy it...in any case, I'm here and not
 SD> planning on leaving unless something terrible happens.

Who wants to live forever? Freddie Mercury certainly didn't. So why
should any of the rest of us? Death is a part of life. So embrace it.

 SD> I just feel bad since the echo has lost so many people recently due to death
 SD> and other unavoidable circumstances that someone would up and leave.

Why feel bad? Jimmy Carter chose hospice care rather than trying to
stay alive by staying in a hospital with few visitors allowed. Refusing
hospital care and/or meds is a choice he made - a pro-life choice -
allowing him and his loved ones the time to be together during his last
days on earth.

 SD> I guess my having nearly died three times last year has made me acutely
 SD> aware of some things.

One day you will succeed. So shall we all.

For Life,
Lee
