It doesn't sound to me as if you approached your life in a very sensible way. Always looking to someone else for "answers," foolishly spending money. What a sad story. And now you are full up with anger and resentment, like a child whose daddy didn't give him what he said he would. Poor Edg. I hope the local authorities where you live are aware of your propensity for violence. Yes Fester, it is stupid to think that TM and all its sundry add-ons was going to work isn't it? And spending so much money on it too! I suppose you never believed a word of it.... You miss the point Sal. You just don't get what Feste is saying. I could tell you that it is a matter of personal responsibility, that you are born alone, that you die alone, and that you are ultimately the master of your own fate > On 9/13/2014 7:05 AM, salyavin808 wrote: > And that, in a nutshell, is why people get involved with religious groups like TM that promise the world and yet deliver nothing.

If you are looking for a hand out in this world, then yes, you are going to be disappointed, and somewhat bitter, as you appear to be.
