Know the movie Great scene great movie. French story originally. Your right too about how humanity is released / increased thru suffering. In the end its the Journey that counts Mon Amis. Lets face it the wick of righteousness is low right now. When they drop you off on the beach (PD diagnosis) they get away pretty quick. Some people are so intent on the end result (which is usually material) they will trample all over you to get it. They forget on the journey to tread lightly and respect others.

OK. I can say this now. Im getting off this Island. I dont care for the pills and rations they deliver.

I say this with all Honesty. PD has a very strong Will (thought and or mind) / Heart (feeling and or emotion) component.

Its like anything if one goes to fear and or loses heart, the games half lost already.

You are ahead of the curve on that and there is enough anger and cynicism lying around here to keep you pumped.

I like your Nietzche (sp?) quote. A similar theme that appeals to me but that I have been scolded for before is from a movie (Pappilon I think) where the protagonist has been banished to the horrors of an island leper colony from which there is no return and no contact with the outside. Forcing him onto the beach, the ship beats a hasty retreat as the lepers approach. Turned out that the lepers were a damn sight more human than the rest of society as they welcomed him and helped him make the change to the new reality.

Welcome to the colony Jak.
