Just one little observation here in your wise response: When you quoted 'Mother Theresa' you said/typed " We *can* live the life of Mother Theresa, " whereas in all your other examples you stated we *cannot*. Was that a typo or a Freudian Slip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Dear David, It was definitely a typo when I wrote, " We can live the life of Mother Theresa " . I meant to write, " We cannot live the life of Mother Theresa " . The reason for that is that Mother Theresa was meant to live her life just as David Bozzi is meant to live his. Anyway, I just can't see you as a Nun David. Just after I sent the message and then saw it I saw the typo and had to smile. I knew that from the context people would figure out that it was a typo. I don't worry much about " dream typos " :-). I suppose I could have written an immediate correction to my " dream typo " but then it would have been a " dream correction. " :-). Ah yes, typos in a dream....and then making corrections in a dream! I think you get the gist, the dream gist, I mean. :-). :-). :-). Love to all Harsha David wrote: > Yep you're right.

Not that being liked is the goal. But I find that the less I speak the more people like me. The Wisdom that appears obvious from this observation is, I am a major asshole.
