@zhjuan,

I'm quite proud of some professional achievements but nothing competes with my kids.

@OmSigDAVID,

Since those rights are so important to you, what do you do with them every day?

@Green Witch,

I think I understand the rest. Would you mind explain what 'Living amongst' means?

I argue to expand and strengthen them, by weakening the domestic jurisdiction of government,
and I have fun with them, in the absence of government interference.

@zhjuan,

If one follow my link to the archive, they will discover I have achived things others said impossible, however, I feel I am a failure in life.
The work in geometry and language were stepping stones to a goal which it seems is now out of reach.
Since I was a very small, I just wanted to be a good husband and father. Nothing special, something I think is very basic.
Well, I don't see that I have anything at all to take pride in except the fact that I am still making free audio and ebooks.

@NoOne phil,

I totally understand what you mean...

I wish you all the best. I hope you can find your way to happiness in a very near future.

I hope everything is going well with you.

Give me a shout if you still looking for reasons why things is not as you feel and that the reasons why you are fine as the way it is.

You are not alone.

Thank you for sharing!

'Living amongst' means to live in close contact. I live surrounded by nature.

Could one also live surrounded by other things?

@zhjuan,

Yes, you could live amongst dirty and pollution like in a big city or you could live amongst war like in the Congo. You could also live amongst love and happiness as in a caring family. Whatever you are surrounded by, either physical or emotional, is what you "live amongst".

@Green Witch,

actually there is a way to avoid this notion that we are alive at all, by a strick application of the definition "life" itself.
Two sources, that I know of, do make the distiction by strick definiton, Plato, in Gorgias, and Scripture--it is why man is called either asleep or dead.
