![]() In light of the fact that perfection is a continually elusive quantity Sorry you find it so elusive. I found it last night....and with Suzanne this morning. Perfection is all around you. It only takes perspective and and open mind to see it. I hope one day you become mature enough to see this. RB 35s5 NY |

Maturity IS the issue, Bubbles. You lack it, therefore you see perfection where none exists. Your life might be quite satisfactory for you, but perfect?? Hardly. Are you saying that your boat is superior to, say, a Swan 64 with a crew of five to sail you around the Sound and serve you martinis while you and a Victoria's Secret model or two lounge on cushions in the owner's cockpit? Are you implying that LIS is superior to the Greek Isles or the Caribbean? My maturity allows me to know just what a great life I have. I love my wife of 34 years, and my boat is a fine, comfortable vessel with a great motion and a decent turn of speed. And our locale is beautiful and offers great sailing opportunities. But perfect? Hardly. Max |

![]() Maturity IS the issue, Bubbles. Clearly. therefore you see perfection where none exists. What a sad and child-like perspective you have. I guess you'll always have a feeling of inadaquacy in your life. Are you saying that your boat is superior to, say, a Swan 64 with a crew of five to sail you around the Sound and serve you martinis while you and a Victoria's Secret model or two lounge on cushions in the owner's cockpit? If that's your idea of "perfect" then go for it. It's not mine. A Swan 64 makes no sense here and I like to sail my own boat. I also don't like drinking. Perfection is subjective in life. I found it. Are you implying that LIS is superior to the Greek Isles or the Caribbean? I don't live in those places, so I make perfection here. My maturity allows me to know just what a great life I have. Yet you find holes that makes it less than perfect. How sad. If that's your idea of maturity I want no part of it. But perfect? Hardly. Sorry you haven't done better for yourself.. RB 35s5 NY |

I guess you'll always have a feeling of inadaquacy in your life. More correctly, your life will always be a delusion, which has been my contention about you all along.

So, you are saying there is nothing--absolutely nothing--about your life that can be improved upon? Bwaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Are you implying that LIS is superior to the Greek Isles or the Caribbean? I don't live in those places, so I make perfection here. Delusion is grand if you can pull it off, Bubbles. My maturity allows me to know just what a great life I have. Yet you find holes that makes it less than perfect. How sad. If that's your idea of maturity I want no part of it. But perfect? Hardly. Sorry you haven't done better for yourself.. You'd have to redefine (upgrade) your delusional definition of "perfection" if you'd done anywhere near as well as I have. Max |

More correctly, your life will always be a delusion, which has been my
contention about you all along. Since perfection is subjective in life, and everyone perception is different, I offer that everyone's life is a delusion. So, you are saying there is nothing--absolutely nothing--about your life that can be improved upon? This is why people like you and Doug are so unhappy...or at least sound that way. If you're having a "perfect" time with your wife or sailing or both, what makes it less than perfect for you? Do you sit there and think, "Ah, if only this was a Swan and if only my wife was Charlize Thieron? If that's how your mind works, always looking and knowing there could be something better, then you're doomed to a sad life. Who's to say the Swan wouldn't run aground and Charlize isn't a terrible lover? You may in fact have perfection for your life and not be appreciative. Very sad that you maintain this perspective and call smarter folks delusional. Delusion is grand if you can pull it off, Bubbles. Call it what you will, but few people would call my comments delusional. I had a perfect sail with my wife and she was perfectly beautiful that night. Is that delusion, love or just one person's perspective? It doesn't matter, but I maintain factually that you're missing something important in your life if you can't feel it. You'd have to redefine (upgrade) your delusional definition of "perfection" if you'd done anywhere near as well as I have. I wonder what you think "well" is. I have a friend who restored his Camaro, married a pretty Italian girl and had 5 kids. It's what he always wanted. He doesn't have a lot of money or a 35 foot sailboat. He loves his job and his life. I don't think he'd look at your life and feel you'd done better. But then he's not like you, so he wouldn't assume you'd done worse either. Maxi, it seems you have a LOT of baggage and a very sad perspective on things. My time with Suzanne this morning was beyond perfect. I can't stop smiling. If that's "delusion" I'll have another glass. RB 35s5 NY |
