Commandments

[topum]

Imagine that you get to visit another planet with a civilisation about 3,000 thousand years behind ours. What commandments would you give the people there if they asked you? Assume that they will try to keep them. You are not allowed to teach them how to make things, share technology, etc.

If this is so then I must have been a very very lucky guy. I always knew I was but this would be an additional reason to consider myself super lucky.

Yes, I think you are lucky and special (I don't flatter, I just think it), and many things of this "big bad world" passed by without touching (= spoiling) you. And it's OK, it doesn't make you a dreamer, just a healthy person. Not every experience is worth experiencing...

(I was a sort of lucky too, I didn't have envying or abusive parents. But in my adult life I met such things a lot. And now, when I teach youngsters, it's a pain to see the "bruises" of parents' envy on them.)
