"Almost all humans ... have strange imaginings. The strangest of these is a belief that they can progress only by improvement. Those who understand will realize that we are much more in need of stripping off than adding on."
So true! Like Lise and Lessing and other members of the 2.0 Club - the club of those who have started a new chapter in their lives, or released an upgraded version of their personal software - I've stripped a lot of hoo-ha from my life in the last few years. And I have to agree: The less baggage I'm carrying, the faster I move forward.
And in the interest of not adding more, for once . . . pressing "send" now.
