Re: quixotic & cast-away

Doesn't it just boil down to you create the belief system you need, when you 
need it to survive, get through, live whatever the circumstances at hand?  
Kind of the theory "life is what you make it".

Someone mentioned the wings and the pretty lady - again, you hang on to what 
you can to get you through.  A song, a thought, a picture...anything as long 
as you assign some value and belief to it.


"We who lived in concentration camps can
remember the men who walked through the
huts comforting others, giving away their
last piece of bread.  They may have been few
in number, but they offer sufficient proof
that everything can be taken from a man
but one thing; the last of the human freedoms-

To choose one's attitude in any
given set of circumstances, to
choose one's own way."

Victor Frankl


just some thoughts....
