That is a very insightful quote! Sometimes its hard rebel against human nature since we usually want to be social creatures and want to please/be accepted by other people. And other times its definitely not worth the effort for those people who land in the "some people" category. Most of the time I can say that I don't really care what other people think though... most of time  :P

Wow, so very true.  After I quit trying I felt a lot better!   ;D

Yeah, it's amazing how much less of an effort life is when you stop walking up the down escalator :).

...I think for most of us it is a futile effort to try and put this genie back in the bottle once she has tasted freedom...

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.  :angel:
