Exactly. What would be the point of IGK humor if there was no one appreciate my posts? |

Self-interest? Curiosity?
If you appreciate, and are in return appreciated, you become rational. And a rational person, JP, lives in this world without self-guidance and most importantly, importance. |

| there's no harm in deriving pleasure from others appreciation just as long as your happiness doesn't depend on it. |

How about you? are you for real? you live in the middle of nowhere with a golden retriever, being a awkward no getting sounding like sylvester the cat fag from whatever red neck county you reside at. I know you're for real, but where I'm from you wouldn't be looked at as real, but that's over your head. |
lol this is precisely what i was referring to. this is what all your posts sound like. the previous did not sound like anything else i've ever, EVER, seen you post before.

Read one of her books, The Fountainhead. Cool stuff.
Maybe its all in my head. I have never looked at a woman on an emotional state. To have sex? Course, but hey, genes are a bishh.
I have never had a son-mother connection. Never considered my friends trust-worthy. Never enjoyed any one's success. I question my motifs only to find them completely irrelevant to my goals in the future. |

I'd be inclined to agree with you, and I do indeed think this is the right path, but I just have my reservations towards the word "true". I reckon I need a full-working brain to have an aptitude to work with languages, for example, but since I at some point must have made a choice to work with languages, I'm not sure whether I'd ever call it a "true talent", for example. |
That's the beauty of this - it's up to you to explore life as fully as possible and discover your talents. It's a nice, philosophical way of telling you to get off your ass and try different things. :D |
