The nicest of my random thoughts.

Random thoughts. I like random thoughts. To wake up. With a thought. Any thought. To prove that I am conscious. Goes back to the philosophy of I think, therefore I am. Maybe that's all I am. A collection of random thoughts. I create myself anew. Daily. By deciding what to think. Moreso than what to do. I have some control. Over what thought to bring to mind. Generally, I grasp for a reasonably happy thought. Because I want to feel good. Today, I want to feel philosophical. By thinking about the meaning of life. Why was I born? I assume it was to savor life. And life is thought. Awareness. Not only of myself. But my environs. And other people. And most of all, the ability to love. Maybe that's the nicest of my random thoughts. The loving ones. --Jim Broede

Have you ever, ever, EVER thought that you have a purpose to anyone else, but yourself? That you are here to affect someone else's life, and not to just make sure "Jim" has a wonderful day, or life??

Even with your wife, it seemed like it was all about how good YOU were made to feel, by whatever you were doing.

Sure, I feel good. And I have a purpose. Because I'm in love. My girlfriend makes me feel wonderful. And believe me, I make her feel like the most beautiful and intelligent woman in the world. After all, she is. We're both here to affect each other's lives. In meaningful and positive and loving ways. --Jim

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is good, that you are able to function on your own, with little interaction with the outside world. Good for everyone. Hey, good for the common good, right?

I'm a dedicated liberal. Working for the common good. I want to see the demise of capitalism. And more socialism. I want redistribution of the wealth. A narrowing of the gap between the rich and poor. --Jim

By the way, there's nothing wrong with feeling good about one's self. --Jim

I'd sure hate to feel bad about myself. --Jim

Funny that anyone would begrudge me a wonderful day. After all, I'm having wonderful days because I'm in love. With someone. And with life, period. That's far better than not having a wonderful day. And not being in love. --Jim
