    Anyone who does not agree with the above has been blinded by the so-called
    cardinal virtues of faith, hope and charity.

    Where do you get that? Theology for the congregation?

    prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance.

    A long time ago, in a galaxy far away (okay, back in the '60s)
    I read a Readers' Digest[*] bio about William Beebe, creator of
    the Bathysphere, in which he was quoted as saying something to
    the effect of: "The greatest sin is boredom."

    Tom, back then us cool kids were into the Apollo 11 mission.
    The guys that were into deep-sea submersible stuff never
    really scored with the hotties at school.

    Just an observation of mine, don't spend too much time
    worrying about it.

    How do you know?

    Okay, I won't.

    In my day, the guys who /really/ scored with the hotties
    at school were into Arts classes. The Occies
    (Occupational/shop) guys who were a step away from being
    relegated to Vancouver Tech were at the bottom of the
    social barrel.

    The Acedemics were just nerds who had no idea of what was
    going on in real life as they memorized the Mendelev
    Atomic Chart. The Artsies sold the best hash. The Occies
    could get your Vauxhall working again, at least enough to
    get you home -- sometimes. And the jox wanted to kill you
    during a boisterous game of Rugby. Basketball was considered
    a girl's game. At school assemblies we had to sing "O Canada
    at the beginning and "God Save the Queen"[*] at the end.

    Then there were the Bible readings & reciting of the
    Christrian prayer at the beginning of every school day.

    cheers,
    Tom

    [*] A lot of people don't even realize HRM is also the
    Queen of Canada, albeit in a formal sense.

    All of the above is only too true, but even so other people can be
    incredibly boring, especially when you can't escape their presence.

    Yes, it's quite true!

    Quoted message said:

    Frankly,
    I am never more alone and bored than when I am with other people. When I am
    by myself, I am NEVER bored. Go figure!

    Haha. I understand! I however enjoy the company of others but I
    wonder if the company I'm keeping is so FABULOUS that when I return to
    this key area of my life, everyone pales in comparison...
