TOPIC: Moment Please...
[Deep Freeze] Sunday, September 13, 2009 4:23:08 PM 
I apologize but I am completely confused by your post, my dear. Are you saying that I should measure MY success by what OTHERS think of me?? I must completely disagree if that is your position. I may perhaps measure the legacy I leave behind after I die by the thoughts and memories my family have of me but I certainly cannot agree that the opinions of others are some kind of evidence of my success. The old saying, "you cannot please everyone" comes to mind, however remedial it may be in this case. In all seriousness, I measure my success by how my life measures up to ME. Am I happy? Sure. Am I fed? Absolutely. Have I found love? Yes. Do I try to be a "good" person? Mostly. Success is rather subjective, I suppose.

Your question at the end also has me a bit befuddled. Are my thoughts and writings of my own independent thinking? Well, yes I am thinking it but I did not create the philosophy, if that is your point? I admit that.  So am I to assume that since I did not actually create this philosophy I am wrong in following it? Please just get me back on track as far as what it is you mean.
