Since Naomi will not give me the ****ing key I have decided to follow Jesus and be a Christian just like Theland. I am ashamed of my past history here so I'm going to devote the time I used to spend on ab to reading the Bible. No question really because I no longer care about what people think. I'll get all my answers from God from now on thank you.

Awwww shucks Theland, I never knew you cared. I always figured it was Naomi and her bobbles that did it for ya!
I think Mibs must still be trying to think of an unmasked superhero.
I would jump off the end of the Pier Head for you my China, but how can I assuage my guilt at stealing you from Mibs?
His mourneful wails on the Mibpipes echo throughout my soul.
He loves you China.
Maybe you would be happy with him?
He plays Mah Jong!
No one should play with their Mah Jong in public.

Anyway, no stealing, I wish to be wooed, where's my flowers damn it?! I want a bit of romance and less wool swimming costumes.

Can it match my stripey pants and chastity belt (I have to wear it when in here) please? My favourite colour is claret.
Bez, you found your way to the crypt! Good!
There were more of us, but some got lost in the labyrinthine passageways.
It's easy to lose your way in the Temple Of Reason.

China, claret? To match the rings around your eyes?
Go fetch Mibs and tell him it's time for his lecture.

There's often a hero. where you least expect one.
Question Author
Theland, Here�s my long anticipated lecture . . . hope you like it:


Unmasking the Ultimate Super-Hero

So who is the Ultimate Super-Hero?
They are many yet all one in the same. These heroes are at once identical yet unique to each Individual.

The mask behind which they are hidden is not their own but one that we hold between them and ourselves out of fear of the dependence upon their existence on which we rely for the survival of and value we must find in our own.

Rub the lamp of reason and illuminate the alternatives thereby presented with a light that enables you to understand which to choose. Only you have the power to summon the hero within and unlock the potential to pursue and achieve a happiness over which others who have abandoned their own claim to hold the key.

This hero does not demand faith in empty promises they have no way to deliver on but rather arises from your acknowledgement that you alone are responsible for and capable of remapping a path to arrive at a destination you yourself have chosen.

Look into the mirror of your soul, seek out and reveal a hero truly worthy of your worship and admiration, the one that determines the ultimate value of all that is you.

The Ultimate Super-Hero is your creative vision of a world more worth living in, conceived out of an indestructible and unstoppable will to make it real. Ultimately, how super this hero is depends entirely on and is limited only by the extent of your desire and the success of your efforts to materialize its existence. If you are now saying to yourself, �This will never be me�, don�t be so sure

Perhaps the greatest abundance and best examples of heroic feats are attributable to the true unsung heroes who considering causes and working to prevent a catastrophe rather than waiting for the inevitable to pick up the pieces, go unnoticed and unmentioned. I aspire to be nothing less.


Oh, and let�s not forget all the fine contributors to AB who seek no rewards for the information they provide other than the opportunity to learn something new themselves in the process and to derive the benefits of living in a better informed world . . . Super-Heroes All!
Mibs, Yes I liked your lecture, or rather, your friendly lecture.
Here, tucked away on page two of R & S I feel more comfortable away from the public gaze to bare my soul.
Why? I don't know, I'm not trying to win converts, that's for sure. Maybe just conversing with a friend. I hope so.
I tell you Mibs, I tried to be the hero, getting told down the years that I was always doing too much, especially in the days, not too long ago when I worked 12 hours per day Mon to Sat and 20 hours on a Sunday, a 92 hour week, doing a very physical and mentally demanding job, maintaining plant and production lines and meeting deadlines, continuous stress and exhaustion year after year.
(continued)
(continued)
But do you know, I was literally fighting for my family, not giving them luxuries as such, but just a decent home and standard of living. Trying to do right by them.
One thing I was always careful of, and that was to never do anything that shatter their illusions about the world we live in.
If they saw the world through rose coloured spectacles, or as a reflection of true reality, then that was fine by me.
You see, up to the age of seventeen, I too had illusions, but never realised it at the time.
How does anybody know that they living an illusion until the mirror is broken, and reality comes storming in?
(continued)
I was in my late teens when I started taking drugs, to be more precise, smoking dope, and tripping on L.S.D.
For some strange reason, after about seven times, I actually began to keep count and I lost count at about forty four.
No wonder they call them mind expanding drugs. They are. God forbid that anybody else should take them, but they will of course. I just hope it's not my kids. The most precious thing thay have is their illusions. L.S.D. shatters illusions, and cold hard reality is not a very nice thing to have to live with.
(continued)
(continued)
I could give you example after example of how these drugs messed me up, and how I turned to alcohol to try and restore some semblence of illusion, to no avail.
It's like society trying to return to a time before the atom bomb, trying to forget what has been learned, because the new knowledge is so damaging and painful.
That is where I am. Trying to disinvent the wheel, and I have been failing for the last forty years.
It has taken its toll. I could always see through situations that others missed, they living in the confort of their illusions. Illusions are a treasure.
I am very tired now, not in the sense that I'm ready for bed, but in the sense that at only 57 years of age, I am tired of living.
I live only for my family, and those in need who I may be able to help, but of this life, I want nothing, only for it to end as painlessly for those I love, as possible.
(continued)
(continued)
Don't be alarmed. This is not a suicide note. As long as I have my faculties, I shall never consider suicide as an option to end the pain of living.
For two reasons, those being of course, my belief in God, and also the pain it would cause those I love.
I will soldier on until my time is up.
(continued)
(continued)
I'm amused by the assertion that our reality is only experienced by our five senses, plus the wonderful instruments we have invented to go where our senses fail us, because I have experienced the the heavenly bliss, and the hellish torture of true reality, something that cannot be adequately described through mere words, cannot be articulated in any way, but must be experienced to know this higher reality, and as blissful as it can be, it is itself an illusion, but of a higher order, that carries within itself the seeds of abject misery!
True wisdom would be to find a way to forget what we have learned, for knowledge carries with it a sting, like the scorpion, that is self destructive.
(continued)
(continued)
Do you remember the old film, "The Magnificent Seven?"
Of course you do.
The true heros there were the poor Mexican dirt farmers, struggling day after day to grow a crop and feed themselves and their families. That was taught by one of the, "seven," to a young Mexican kid, to illustrate how the true hero didn't carry a gun, but fought day in and day out, to tame the land, and somehow, in his ignorance and with his illusions, tried to survive and make some sense of his reality.
Oh to be a Mexican farmer, but living in peace, preoccupied by the weather, and the progress of a crop of corn.
I hope I haven't rambled on too much, Mibs, but I just took advantage of the fact that your thread, or as I like to affectionately call it, "The Temple Of Reason," has now been slipped out of sight on to page two.
Don't be offended, but, God bless you, Mibs.
