Adam Smith's Pro Skater
I've been pondering about why church is so great. Yeah, it is. And I don't go anymore. It's a place which used to, pretty much, force people to get together to hear stuff they could read about in their own time. But it was a bit like forced socialising. Societies were formed from these buildings. People who didn't like one another had to come together, possibly in each other's hopes that they could reconcile their differences, or at least had to tolerate one another. Now, we can just avoid enemies willy nilly. And hang out with friends. But no! We need good and bad in our lives. Like the whole Buddhist way. If we had it all good, we'd start finding fault in the things 'less good' in the things 'more good'.
AND THAT WOULD JUST PLAIN SUCK. RANT OVER.
