"You sure are on a writing tear this week. Like Ashley's teacher friend, not everyone is ever going to be open to anything other than what they were raised to believe. Snake-oil dreams and a life for "other people" is what most people see. Whether you go the Ferriss way, the passion plan or some other variation of something other than the norm, preaching to or at people is a good way to tune them out. If they want to ask questions, I'm happy to answer them. I am too busy enjoying life to need to convert anyone they can live another way. They already think I'm a nutjob because I don't want a McMansion and a Mercedes. My last name means boat captain. You knew more about sailing the day you first considered living aboard than I do now. I'm not sure that's relevant in any way, but there you go :-)"

@jameskysonlee The body is amazingly resilient in its ability to repair itself, yet shockingly fragile at the same time.
"Of course. There is a large bit of programming most of us get from day one that is tough to overcome. People genuinely believe o lot of the stuff we're fed all through the various institutions in which we are indoctrinated. A lot of people would just rather take the blue pill."
