They may also not be cast in stone. We are all also full of contradictions and even though Joni has excellent friends she must marvel at their contradictions as she is blinded to her own perhaps. At such times her dog may seem to be her greatest blessing. Somewhere in Malka's book Joni speaks of going it alone and thus having no support system when things go wrong. "Wrong" probably not referring to something like this illness-I imagine that Kilauren and her grandchildren are of huge comfort to Joni. I do think that life could be more happy organized through some more sane system. If technology can take over your job it should be a reason to celebrate. People could find more passion and meaning and purpose in life if they're twiddling their thumbs and being directed by their own souls. Einstein said something to the effect that real intellectual contribution happens in such an environment. I do wish that Joni wil always retain her wealth and her property and her property rights. I do wish too that people were living in a more meaningful way and being more playful and creative and solving problems truly relevant to themselves. We are very distracted from our creativity hustling and bustling about. I do not think that people are senselessly engaged if that are not kept"busy". We live with the internet which is an accomplishment of scientific thought and labour of all kinds. We could be voting on a daily basis. There could be far more accomplished from idleness and creativity and connectivity than through an outmoded system of trying to procure cash because it is the essential enabling substance . I am not deliberately being boring. I wish people were not so distracted. That's all... for now. Anyway, get well Joni. It is wonderful that Malka is trusted by Joni and had access to the thoughts in her book. They are most entertaining.
