But then people are different, and that is a good thing. I think that you made this is a good thing, and tried to pass it on. Mine was smaller, I used to send $10 or $20 or what I could borrow or make by not eating and send it to artists and writers and people who were facing having to move back with their parents and said, "Do something to remind yourself you are a free being, and thus, you deserve to have choice. In this society, that sadly means, money, so here is a choice, go for a meal, see a film do something that is not a necessity."<BR/><BR/>Probably less profound. But when I play these lists in my head, the word at the end is VERY different (it is like a therapy word association huh - neat). <BR/><BR/>So for example: 'When you are giving up: dig' is 'When you are giving up: risk everything' - because for me, utter failure, splatacular failure is something that can be survived. Trying, but not knowing if I tried enough, that I can't survive. Just different points of view. so interesting.Elizabeth McClunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03627373214555333537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-49278061491266372242008-07-20T00:12:00.000-04:002008-07-20T00:12:00.000-04:00At last, instructions for living.

Seriously, your list is very thought provoking and I will have to go back over it and ponder how I might put these ideas into action in my life. Some of them I have not thought about for a while.
