The work of life is doing, not having. Even if having is what you’re doing, it’s the doing that matters. Life is process, not product. That process is one of contribution, I think. We want to leave the world with more than it had when we entered it. And with goods that are beyond measure or price. Goods which, like time, we can only give.
With the Net we have invented an excellent place to do that.
Let’s just say that the way the world is going/working right now is not really making me happy. Stuff doesn’t make me happy. Hope I find that something , that seems to be missing.
