Two states existed: One in cyberspace and the other engaged with humanity. In the past, I have had a capacity to be content within my own thoughts, but I realized this was not possible for many others. People have confessed a feeling of depression when forced to be alone. I had no trouble with this and questioned whether my pursuits were actually a mistress beckoning me away.

Now I understand, as support of parents and a woman have left, that there is an importance for defending your finite existence. Fulfilling my own needs now beats stronger within. The dissecting the world needs to be applied directly to the acquisition of power, money and love. Good fortunate gave me an advantage in this struggle, ideal geography, physical stature and mental dexterity.

Along with these advantages there are unique weaknesses of an individual. Success requires the supreme application of every capability. My readings have leaded me to an appreciation of Darwin’s theories. He discusses, life evolves not only by adapting to your environment, like killing off saber tooth tiger, but also by attracting the best mate to ensure your prodigies success.

Getting the best mate is what made us human. The brain is not a calculator but a sexual ornament capable of lyric and deception. No matter how hard we try to be rational the mind will automatically conspire to meet its needs.

The corporate arena beckons me back. Past work was achieved in pursuit of perfection of thought. Truth as the foundation of an efficient system and that quest for it sometimes diverged from the job’s requirements. Now tempered, I understand that achievement has to be difficult, for we all are reaching for the same goal. And the ones that will succeed will apply every capability.
