h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Following the example of two very wise men I know, I've named the thread so that all who may see it will know where it came from.

I really have to take a break from h2g2. As much as it is a haven for many, for what-ever their reason of addiction or personal infirmities, it's just far too banal for me to face now. Following three particular threads, one a journal, I am sickened daily by what is happening in the REAL world. And fool that I am for personal growth and knowledge, I have finally taken the time to do some research. Into some of the Jew/Arab histories ... Trying for as much fact and lack of bias. I have read so much, some covering as far back as about 100 A.D.

The upshot is that I have found angels, demons, saints, martyrs, and so much every every extreme. From every side of the multi-faceted crystal that is the region we often call the Middle East. No one has proven themselves any better or worse than any other. Not one country can honestly claim innocence except today's Lebanese citizens. The one's who have been fortunate enough to survive and hide. But what of their lives tomorrow?

If there was some magical way that I could again put on my country's uniform, and go to that region to somehow quell the mindless destruction, save a life, ease another, I would do it before another hour has passed. My family is well and safe and can get on well without me. Far more than can be said of so many others. But I know that anything that I could do would be as less than the drop in the ocean. It is going to need the intent and true heart-felt inclination of much larger powers to bring an end, and some form of resolution. Not just for today, but for the long-term. This much is finally being realized, ... that what is happening this past nearly three weeks is the catalyst of what-ever will end up being a very long-term state of being. For any fortunate enough to survive it.

Anyway, for myself, I am literally heart-sick by it all. And can not see myself flitting about this meaningless h2g2, seeing so many being mindless or careless of what is happening. The ego-centricity of so many here is nearly as gut-wrenching and bothersome as all of the rest.

And so I will be fully absent from here for a time. Anyone wanting to call, you already have my addresses, or can find one by the envelope at the tail of my PS. Until another day, ... perhaps ...

Nick

Gonna miss you

You know where i am

*not here*

Yes, Ladies, I do know where you are, ... and your real hearts. And so and

dont be gone for too long..
you do have a place here and we all value your comments and advice and help.

sorry

don't go. We need people here to help those who have nowhere else to go. Please stay. It takes all sorts to make a We need you.

Do come back soon, we wish you werent going to leave, But it cant be helped. hope to talk to you soon

Maybe you're all right, in a way. 'Hiding' from stupidities doesn't make them any better, or go away, eh? So perhaps I'm better off if I just avoid the <./>Info</.> page and the common forums, ... stay in my own little corner here for awhile.

And hope some sanity can be found where it's seriously needed.

To all, thank you.

as was said to me by a very dear friend

'if you stumble upon something and it's written by someone who you know is going to come upon your last nerve, then quickly close your eyes and turn tail and run'

Sounds like a wise friend. But my way has never been to run, ... I'm more likely to stoically try to ignore or bury the reactions.

And take a HUUUUGE axe to a tree stump as 'stress relief'.

Hi so your leaving?
Well Good Luck in what ever your doing!

Ooop's sorry pressed the wrong key lol.

I need some firewood keep it going nick

i could do with some wood..

the central heating is playing up and i cant get any hot water

Positive thought is always best: I hope you get it sorted soon

Yoikes !!!! Burning wood at this time of the year? A simple pot of water on the street will be hot enough for a bath in minutes !!!

the hot water isnt for me, you understand.. i can cope and work around the problem..
