sg1bc: IMHO, the people of this planet need a strong since of belonging to the human race.. a strong will to advance the race, and to keep innovating, learning, gaining knowledge, sharing knowlege, exploring etc [00:22:38] sg1bc: we always think too damned small. [00:22:43] Shannon O'Reilly: Greed. [00:22:48] sg1bc: exactly. [00:23:01] Shannon O'Reilly: mostly born, ironically, from a fear of poverty and/or even poor roots oneself. [00:23:33] sg1bc: indeed. [00:23:33] Shannon O'Reilly: Often fueled by a lack of realization that one can be poor and happy; those who seek money without internal peace are still unhappy. [00:23:36] Shannon O'Reilly: ^^ [00:23:45] sg1bc: yep [00:24:14] sg1bc: I seek no sums of money, I just want to fix things where ever I can [00:24:34] Shannon O'Reilly: exactly. [00:24:44] sg1bc: I am a hacker, and I follow most of the hacker methodology. [00:24:55] sg1bc: which is basically those five things above [00:24:57] sg1bc: and then some [00:25:25] Shannon O'Reilly: And I would go a step further and say that most people have forgotten what "love" really is: an acceptance, an enjoyment, a commitment, and something that you can, and should, give to the world, not just to one person. It's glorious and it's utterly selfless and completely fulfilling. [00:25:26] sg1bc: (we do like to have enough to solve whatever problem we are solving, or do whats facinating for us...) [00:25:40] sg1bc: YES; [00:25:44] sg1bc: omg yes [00:25:50] sg1bc: folks fail at the love game [00:25:58] sg1bc: SO. MUCH. [00:26:22] sg1bc: I love and care about almost all of the folk I know [00:26:42] Shannon O'Reilly: Me too. I may be frustrated with people, or I may be angry with them, but I generally do love them. [00:27:00] Shannon O'Reilly: and I've had an incredibly hard time actually reconciling this with the general, societal definitions of love. [00:27:22] sg1bc: yeah [00:27:32] Shannon O'Reilly: But after peace camp, where I realized that if I wanted the kids to listen to me, respect me, and love me, I had to love them... it's not really an optional thing, once you learn how to do it. It becomes so easy, and also so incredibly enriching. [00:27:44] Shannon O'Reilly: ...although it's still hard in places. XD [00:27:59] sg1bc: yeah [00:28:39] Shannon O'Reilly: aaand I'm headed to bed. [00:28:48] sg1bc: another thing that I can't seem to get across to people, is that Im always willing to discuss, to talk about pretty much _anything_ [00:28:52] sg1bc: mhmkies. [00:28:54] Shannon O'Reilly: yeah. [00:28:55] sg1bc: night then [00:28:55] Shannon O'Reilly: Sorry, this has been lovely. [00:28:57] Shannon O'Reilly: <3 [00:29:00] Shannon O'Reilly: goodnight.
