Ha-very funny (sarcasm). The book is Awareness by Anthony de Mello. You should pick it up and read it, you might learn something. I'm assuming you stopped your philosophy education after your freshman year (or did you even make it that far)! Just kidding. 🙂
Besides, it's based more on spirituality and psychology. He's got some strange theories, but it makes for interesting reading.
Putting all that aside, de mello is a good guy. i'd like to reread that passage in the context of the book. anyone who is trying to bring the spirituality back to christianity is a-ok in my book.

lol, "I'm not trying to date you, beautiful, I'm just trying to kiss you". In virtue of this line I ended up happily married. 😲
Slimey : 'You are a thief'
Me ( bit taken aback ) : 'No, why?'
Slimey : 'Because someone's stolen the stars and put them in your eyes'
If he hadn't been so ugly I'd have given him the time of day for the sheer guts of it.
Anyway, carry on with your thread 😉

In the end you may find no guiding subtle light,
no ancestors, or friends.
no judge of wrong or right.
just eternal silence and dormancy,
and a final everlasting peace.
I like it, makes sense to me.I was gonna do the whole thing but that turned out to be way too much effort for me.
Ps Awesome pickup line bbar 🙂

In my limited experience women like a man with a bit of courage, also they seem to prefer specific comments, if you say that they're beautiful then it won't go down too well. However, if you compliment them on their hair or something then it usually works, unless she's really not interested then you go down in flames. (try to avoid the eye's, unless they really are nice, as its alittle corny and oft used).

P.S. sorry, this is a little of topic.
