I'd love to have someone to talk to, but at that same time I'm undecided. If I did what I wanted, I'd move to a deserted island far away from any people, and wait for humanity to destroy itself. My brother asked me recently, "if you don't believe in Heaven, why do you want to save mankind, what is in it for you?". Talking to people like this just seems like wasting time, that I don't have to waste. I can spend my time talking to a brick wall, if I want to, but good does it do me?

I understand and am always willing to learn from people, but how much can you expect to learn from people who are completely incapable of learning themselves? How much can they offer, when they've closed their mind so completely?

I believe all life on Earth is basically made up of love. Our souls are made of love. This is not romantic love, but the love of caring for others. The more we shut this off in ourselves, the more dead we are. I'm not trying to live for eternity in Heaven, but I would at least like to be alive while I'm here on Earth.

I believe romantic love is for fools. It is usually purely selfish, and selfish is not love. If I want to talk with you and spend time with you, because you make me happy, it does not mean I love you. If I stay away from you, because you are better off without me, that is love. If I make myself a better person, so that I can be worthy of having someone, that is love.

While I often feel a desire to have someone to talk to, I fear I might get selfish, and take to much time away from my plan to save mankind. On the other hand, to little talking with people is also bad.

Hi Brittany, I've been thinking recenly that maybe I can find a way to reduce my hours and get more done. I saw something recently about a woman who died from being over worked, after logging 159 hours of over time in a month. I'm sure I've exceeded that many times. Average for me is probably around 80 hours a month.

I really don't want to work this much, and never did. I don't do it for money, nor do I do it because my work demands it. My problem is I have a plan that will end poverty and bring about World Peace, and even worse, it will prevent the extinction of mankind. This means, I'm absolutely required to work, and there's no way out of that responsibility. This, however, is very bad for my health, and I am having some problems from that. Very bad digestion.

The one thing that I believe can be changed, is the fact that I work 40 hours a week on a regular job. If I could trade this in for maybe 10 hours a week, that would be great. I would still work probably an extra 24 hours a week on my world peace project, but at least I'd take Saturday off then. So I'd work around 40 to 50 hours a week on my world peace project, instead of about 26 as I do now.

I'm a self taught engineer and basically an expert at just about everything. There is very little I don't know how to do, and even if I don't know how to do something, I can teach myself how extremely fast. 'Course, I'm talking anything mechanical, electronic, computer related, programming, and stuff like that. I don't know so much about plants, but I'm not totally ignorant about them either.

I do kind of like propagating trees and other perentials. I would kind of like to have a small garden to play with as well.

I would like to have internet, but it might actually be a whole lot better for me to go without it. I waste time talking to people online, which tends to be an energy drain.

Not fond of the idea of cops being there, but I can put up with it. I'm not fond of dogs either, but I'm assuming those are well behaved dogs. If they are larger attack dogs, and running free, I'd be somewhat uncomfortable with that, unless they are extremely well behaved and I feel I can trust them. I actually get irritated when I see dogs kept alone in pens, living an unbearibly lonely existence, but I'm sure you don't do that.

I do not do drugs, of any kind, and don't even drink. That makes a lot of people uncomfortable. The world peace thing also makes people uncomfortable.
