love or money?

[Lucy Chambers]

actually Lucy it is only through our interaction with others that we come to learn about ourselves..so..you can find yourself in another....we only become conscious of ourselves and our self through others...you also make it sound like you can only fall in love once but each time we fall in love it's different..or either that as the poet said "last time we fall in love is the first time"..............etc etc

I don't agree. I believe that our collective urge to be 'as one', and therefore fulfilled, is a by product of social and religious conditioning. I also believe that if we, as primarily animals, could accept that the natural condition is to be alone we would save an awful lot of depression and misunderstanding.

Nice post though. I love love too, I am just a little jaded to accept it is the holy grail.

Money doesn't buy happiness, just a very temporary reprieve from boredom.

Sounds a lot like the E-I forums.

I think you come here to talk to me anyway. Hardly Mensa, but bloody good fun.

Actually Rodders, on a serious and most unlike me note, money makes no difference at all. You just end up unhappy in a beautiful cage that you made for yourself. Money doesn't buy happiness, just a very temporary reprieve from boredom. My two cents, anyway. I am an unusually happy person, and I find that within.

Once again you're spot on Luce, you really do have a wise head on young shoulders. But without money nobody would get have fun with you

Has anyone mentioned my fan club to you yet? There is a very interesting initiation process.

What does make an escort to leave the job? the same thing that made me leave the previous jobs. From the moment I am not happy anymore, I am not getting the fulfillment I expect, when I don't feel appreciated anymore, I will stop. Very simple. For me it is like any other job that I had. I am leaving from at the moment that I wish a new challenge, I hate routine, same things over and over, so challenges keep me going.

Wouldn't it be great if everyone could live their lives this way, where they follow their instincts and take on new challenges to keep themselves happy, sane and fulfilled. Unfortunately it is not the case and so many feel trapped where they are due to whatever responsibilities they have.

well lucy i never said anything about a "collective urge to be 'as one'"......and there is no "natural condition" some argue that man is a social animal..but well some people like to be alone some don't..aloneness will always be present perhaps.......aloneness and loneliness is our condition but that state is not contrary to being in a relationship....as Heidegger said we realise our individuality through our own death...we die alone.....I also never said that being loved or loving will ultimately fill the emptiness at the core of the human condition...what I was taking you up on was the notion that because you've done something once doesn't exhaust the possibilities when a similar but not same action is done again

I would argue that man is a social animal through an evolutionary lense at least
Man on his own is pretty much shit and tends to die, whereas nin a group we beocme the most dangerous animal of all
Heidiger hit the nail on the head there with that
