On the whole people are thumping bores and I have little interest in them.
As I said in my earlier post, women have been bored with men for thousands of years. And, as Miles has so convincingly stated, vice versa. Reason? Like sheep, most are caught in the "baa" syndrome. Follow the leader. Don't know why they are here, don't know where they are going, don't have a clue as to their potential, and usually have stopped caring.
Have you heard the story about the little lion that was found by the shepherd and raised with the sheep as a pet? The lion grew up thinking he
was a sheep. One day a big lion came out of the jungle and roared. All the sheep scattered and the pet lion did, too. The lion from the forest saw the pet lion hiding and asked him why he was so afraid. But all he could get out of him was "Please don't eat me". The wild lion decided to do the pet lion a favour, so he took him to the river and told him to look down into the water. The pet lion did, and saw a magnificent lion reflected back at him. He realized what he really was, not a sheep but a lion.
There is truth in this story for those who have an eye to see it. Find the teacher who can show you who you really are, who can show you self knowledge, who can show you what Socrates meant by "Know thyself". Otherwise you are going to bore the pants off everyone, including yourself.
