Rabbi Zusya said that on the Day of Judgment, God would ask him, not why he had not been Moses, but why he had not been Zusya. ~Walter Kaufmann

"Most of the luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. The very simplicity and nakedness of man's life in the primitive ages imply this advantage, at least, that they left him still but a sojourner in nature. To be awake is to be alive. Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. Every man is a builder of a temple, called his body, to the god he worships, after a style purely his own, nor can he get off by hammering marble instead. We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and blood and bones. Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man's features, any meanness or sensuality to imbrute them. Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."
-Henry David Thoreau, Walden, 1854

Well, kudos to you for doing your best to improve yourself. I hope that your efforts yield fruit, and that you have the opportunity to mend those relationships as you desire.Menolly wrote:Thank you both, but you misunderstand.
Neither of you have IMd with me.
I am the same on Messenger as on the boards. But in such concentrated form, I tend to be very self-centered as well. And others get tired of that.
I've had a long conversation with a caring board member regarding it, and I acknowledge that everything she said to me is true. I am working on changing many of the things she suggested. But...it is too little too late for many I have on my Messenger list, as I no longer see them online to chat.
It...gets lonely.
