    ' You know, I've had some mother****ing trouble with that wanker before. he's such a ****...' Etc

    Gosh, interesting what the censors don't pick up.
    Silas. You came to LitNet from your mongering forum, trying to recruit our people. It's all on record.

    Oh, do you mean Zero State perhaps? I was involved in it, but I have been losing interest in it, as I don't feel that personally it has much creative appeal for me now. I'm still good friends with many people there though.
    'Came to LitNet from' there? Oh no, I was on Litnet much earlier. I keep coming back because I like it here.

    'Recruit our people'? People do what they want to do, cafolini. Some people like to write rude snarky comments about people online too.

    When miserable, many people seek company, either through real company, whether online or in person, or through the prerecorded company of music and DVD movies.

    Yes, it was Zero State. However, that people do what they want to do is not the subject here. People always do what they want to do regardless of anything else.

    Yes, misery loves company but I am not one to give it fuel. I would have to agree that when someone is miserable they want company and I believe it is only cuz they need someone who can support them and bring some light into their darkness.

    Everyone finds himself in the world where he belongs. The essential thing is to have a fixed point from which to check its reality now and then.

    I think that's an important point. Even if people tend to lean towards solitude when they are miserable, most of the time they still end up relying on some form of company.
    “the sense of being which in calm hours arises, we know not how, in the soul, is not diverse from things, from space, from light, from time, from man, but one with them and proceeds obviously from the same source.... Here is the fountain of action and of thought....
