Is being at peace with your own company the greatest life skill ever?
I remember seeing a movie with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. I believe it was called Life. It wasn't that good of a movie itself but a part of that movie really connected with me.
Eddie & Martin were in a prison-like setting.
At one point their friends, fellow inmates, usually older, just began to actually fade away within a set frame.
Obviously, the film maker was depicting the rapid passage of time.
But those images, those fading images, really affected me.
Sometimes I try to imagine the multidimensional space, or frame, that I occupy at any given time, usually in the gym, and then I just try to imagine me fading away and the space still continues as if I were no longer there.
You really end-up as an exercise in just trying to stop your thoughts.
We ain't going to think our way out of this so I try to effect my being, my perspective of myself.
The result of this exercise seems to be unexpected moments of peace...
Nice to see you return here from that ilovephilosophy place, Bill. Maybe you'll spur things up on some of these dead forums, if for no other reason than provoking others to ask WAYTA.

I lurk at a lot of places, rather than posting / being registered. Including Philosophy Forums, Online Philosophy Club, SciForums' General Philosophy, etc. Noticed some people here at PN months ago wondering what had happened to you, and Lo! -- sighted you in ilovephilosophy later on.
