George Santayana
Philosophy is a more intense sort of experience than common life is, just as pure and subtle music, heard in retirement, is something keener and more intense than the howling of storms or the rumble of cities.

More From George Santayana

• eating disorders are addictions. you become addicted to a number of their effects. the two most basic and important: the pure adrenaline that kicks in when you're starving—you're high as a kite, sleepless, full of a frenetic, unstable energy—and the heightened intensity of experience that eating disorders initially induce. at first, everything tastes and smells intense, tactile experience is intense, your own drive and energy themselves are intense and focused. your sense of power is very, very intense. you are not aware, however, that you are quickly becoming addicted.
Two Smell Numbers
We have a common enemy. we have this in common: we have a common oppressor, a common exploiter, and a common discriminator. but once we all realize that we have this common enemy, then we unite on the basis of what we have in common. and what we have foremost in common is that enemy - the white man. he's an enemy to all of us. i know some of you all think that some of them aren't enemies. time will tell.

Did you hear 'bout ticklish tom? he got tickled by his mom. wiggled and giggled and fell on the floor, . . . . and all the more that he kept gigglin', all the more folks kept ticklin'. he shrieked and screamed and rolled around, laughed his way right out of town. through the country down the road, he got tickled by a toad. . . . . giggling, rolling on his back he rolled on the railroad track. rumble, rumble, whistle, roar- tom ain't ticklish any more.

People look at things differently. imagine going to a village in southern sudan and try to explain to someone there the concept of life insurance or retirement. go to vietnam and say retirement. retirement in another country is your body is too racked with pain and your hands are too arthritic from the life in the rice patty fields, so you can't work anymore. so you move in with your son and his new wife takes care of you because that's how families work there.
Country Retirement Pain
I do believe if one keeps busy it's very good for a person. in fact, people are always rushing into retirement and we read in europe that people there are talking about their retirement age and moving it to 67 or something. well, back when they started retirement funds and everything, the average age was 70 or 60, and then all of a sudden now it's 80, and so. [...] and so you keep in shape, you keep yourself mentally in shape. and if you keep yourself mentally in shape, chances are physically it will follow suit.
Retirement Moving Believe
When a man is forced into early retirement, he is often being 'given up for a younger man.' being forced into early retirement can be to a man what being 'given up for a younger woman' is for a woman... why do many men get more upset by retirement than women do from the empty nest when their children leave home? when females retire from children, they can try a career; when a man retires from a career, his children are gone.

If you do not have at least an eight-month emergency fund, and you think there's a probability you could loose your job - and it's not just losing your job; you could be in a car accident, get sick - continue to pay the minimum on your credit card every month. everything beyond that needs to go to establish an emergency fund. and if you have an emergency fund saved, then fund your retirement account before paying down credit card debt.
