And I think this is ultimately one of the very backward lines of thinking, at least in the context of like maybe zen, buddhism, and strange american notions of gratitude?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the purpose or point of life?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> First, simply you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to be bored, it is virtuous to have fun to explore to conquer to explore, to expand your world mind soul and the planet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The new aristocracy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Certainly you cannot be everywhere, all at once. Your own physical human flesh bound body could only inhabit one spot at a time, and there are certain limits to luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really tell nothing by looking at a map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> I think this is also a very very big thing; often before you travel or during your travel or whatever, we will cross reference maps to get a sense of a place. But unless you get a POV point of view, first person view in the flesh, you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t tell nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"
