3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
In an occurrence of synchronicity, both Son and I found it hard to generate some online attention. I am waiting for ALL FOUR proof-readers to come back with a review of the first chapter of my new book and online readership was low yesterday, whilst son found himself ignored online by his "friends". While my morale is more robust, Son has had his self-confidence considerably undermined.
I know exactly what he is going through - I have been there. Loneliness is a crushing feeling. Though it's been a long time since I have felt it, I will never forget it. Unfortunately I cannot go through it for him. At least he has a father who understands behind him. I know that it will pass and that it will make him a wiser and more appreciative person in the long run. In the meantime there is nothing I can say to comfort him, so it's a case of keeping a silent watchful eye.
These days I am fulfilled and self-loving, so do not need the reassurance of social adoration, although I do enjoy the utter adoration of Missus. My external focus is on making a difference where opportunities arise, be that with clients or sharing my wisdom online. I am now fully at peace with my benignly sociopathic nature, probably because ultimately I see myself as the universe made conscious - the character I play is merely my observation platform - in truth I am everything and everything is me.

8.TRIVIA
A few centuries ago, the ladies of England and France would rub their own urine into their skin to give it a fresh glow, caused by the urea in it (chemical formula NH2CONH2). In modern times, most beauty creams contain urea.
9. ZEN WISDOM
Iron, when heated and pounded, becomes a fine sword. Likewise, our true
strength and potential cannot be forged without hardships.
