being cynical about the merits of truly honest efforts to transcend oneself is unwarranted.
some here are actually on a quest, and are clearly making detectible progress,
really yup!
this percentage thread is not showing the "right" kind of encouragement, unless you are actually concerned about the spurting of moon fluid.
(good thing it is in S&P and not somplace with more extreme nazi like management)

Who said I was cynical about honest efforts?

So this post is not a right wrong judgment, although it could be easily taken that way. I just wanted to see if people thought about it and what their views are.

progress is slow but the garden grows in many directions at the same time. (Chauncey Gardener would have said something like that I think)

Mental masturbation is when you fail to deprive yourself of something. The more you deprive yourself, the more of a drive you have to accomplish what you need in life because you increase your willpower. If you cant concentrate on one thing without getting distracted, you'll never get anything done.
It's non-doing that really counts, Icelander...
