Transcript:
A human being is a part of the whole. Called by us "universe" a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us. Restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion. To embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. -Albert Einstein

Right on, Gavin Than! Even though your main character today is rather repugnant to look at, the message is spot on. May I recommend www.goodnewsnetwork .. (Good news is real news too…)

Ditto. E-mail and a phone. That’s it for me. I don’t have a big social circle, so that’s all I really need. I like the real world.
