I actually just found that book in a pile of unwanted literature here on the FOB. I am going to read it eventually. But he is correct. That is why I find it fascinating that so many healthcare professionals and fitness gurus shovel their findings down our throat "you won't live unless you take this," "You are going to die of cancer unless you read this book and," it goes on and on. I often used the prison camp arguement with people.
Look what they went through, without vitamins, without food and water, without the secret potion made from Shark fins, etc. They had one thing: the will to survive, and that was enough. Your brain is God, like Mr. Leary once said. Find your passion and your meaning and you will live a long and fruitful life, unless you are hit by a car or eaten alive by tiger sharks, of course. You get the idea.
Lookout123, take it easy. I'm sure the Jews even had laughter in their prison camps. It's what keeps us human. Dont' be so quick to take offense. We have to unlearn this state of constant offense that the Clinton adminstration instilled upon us. Let's start here.
