^ Yeah, I respect that, that's some decent honesty. More people need that.Question is, what do you value? With such a stance on life, you sure as hell must be something close to an objectivist to be able to survive mentally. That is: do you rule out the suckers in life, minimize your external dependency and recognise the virtue in your personal goals? Because I seem to remember that's not really you either...
Of course not. But you're telling me that my own heart would feel comfortable with a fucked up reality. I disagree.

I disagree.When did I say your own heart would be comfortable with a fucked up reality? Let me try to explain it in a different way. A man can have billions, live in a mansion, etc... but if the conversation in his own head is not good, then he can't even sleep at night and he is miserable even though he's sleeping in a mansion.I think it was Yogunda that said, "Having material wealth and having no inner-peace, is like being thirsty while bathing in a lake".

^ You act as if there's no way to live without having to escape from reality... Isn't that exactly what you denounced earlier on?That's not saying you shouldn't consume alcohol or pizza's, but does it have to be a matter of escaping?
I never promoted escaping from reality. I denounced that, and rightfully so. I remember we had this convo about alcohol over a year ago in mIRC. Lol... what is your problem with drinking a cold beer and feeling good? It's not LSD what we're talking about here. Maybe I made it look like I'm an alcoholic or a depressive drinker and whatnot, but that is not the case.
