I have noticed people are getting more shallow and dumber. They remind me of the filth I went to high school with staff and student alike. I have always had hi standard of character for the people I hang around with. and I have never compromised that And have spent most of my adult life single because of it. I stopped dating when i was 22 after more drama and loss than any one should have to deal with now i'm 38 and trying again and it has not changed for the better, infact it gotten worse or is it just me is there hope or should I tell the world to piss of and go hermit in the woods for the rest of my life. I have never been good with people and the hermit in me wants out. I might just listen to him sigh

I am thinking the same; tell the world to go piss off and go hermit in the woods. Just a damn waste of my time personally to play this silly dating game.professor

No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

John Donne, Meditation XVII
English clergyman & poet (1572 - 1631)

Ha, ha, ha! You are funny!

Earl Nightingale (March 12, 1921 – March 25, 1989) was an American motivational speaker and author, known as the "Dean of Personal Development." He was the voice in the early 1950s of Sky King, the hero of a radio adventure series, and was a WGN radio show host from 1950 to 1956.Author of the Strangest Secret, which economist Terry Savage has called “…One of the great motivational books of all time“. (wikipedia)

You will note, not a dead poet.

You seem so bummed out, that some motivational quotes might very well help you out. It's real life today too, you know. Great men and women throughout time have commented on your plight with much wisdom. You sould be greatful to pull on this wonderful knowledge and put it to good use!

BTW, Nightengale, the company, continues on today with motivational tapes and books that can be purchased on line and probably in book stores.

To read more about Earl himself, see:

Have you considered its not others that have an issue, maybe its you dunno Your post shows that you are somewhat "Rigid" in your thinking. It is not my aim to offend, simply respondin gto your post.

PS, Have you considered researching "Aspergers Syndrome".........

technically, one must be a monk to be considered a hermit.

Whoa. Uh, since you asked at the beginning, after reading this last little blip, I would say "yes" you might be broken. I can see why you may view the world dimly. (s i g h ). we become what we do not like, if we dwell upon it, it seems. I wish you happiness. Seek that, and you will be more content.
