Moridin, some great quotes!

I passionately disagree with number 4, however, 'I don't know why we are here, but I am pretty sure it is not to enjoy ourselves'. That goes against everything I believe in, but everything!!

The writer of that must have been the most profoundly miserable git. What are we here for if NOT to enjoy ourselves? (If we believed that we were here to enjoy ourselves, we might perhaps think it was worthwhile keeping the world beautiful to enjoy ourselves in.) Personally, I think that particular quote and associated way of thinking is actively dangerous. The opposite of enjoying yourself is NOT enjoying yourself, and god knows there's enough of the world doing that. Follow your bliss, I say!!!!!
