Sail around the world and your problems disappear
I want you to know that I have spent all night mulling over that question you presented to me so vehemently yesterday. This may sound off the wall... but have you ever sailed a boat? Well... it doesn't matter, you can learn as you go. Basically, I think you should sail around the world. All of your problems will either evaporate or drown. One or the other. Of course there are no garantees. Wait... Hold on a second... consider what I am saying. Remember, when you judge quickly, you are screening out information. Right. Good. Now listen, you gotta learn to suspend judgement. Exactly. You got it. There's alot of good that can happen by you just sailing away - like in that Christopher Cross song. Look, it will take you about 3 or 4 months to circumnavigate the world and the whole press thing will have blown over. Believe me, you don't want to pull a Sean Penn and declare war against the paparazzi. I picture you with the wind glancing off your face and Crosby Stills and Nash's Southern Cross playing on your boom box. All the crazy lust-filled women will be a million miles away from you in this gentle time leaving space so your heart can heal. And when you make it back, Brad, you'll be able to make 30 mil a picture instead of that measly 20. Trust me... It''ll all work out. Go get that boat, hit the bow with a bottle of wine and scram. Oh yeah, don't forget to wear a life jacket. Your welcome. Bon voyage.

Hi mike,
The way u paint the world things appear simple. We r at peace when we look at the sky- so boundless, so expansive, so much space , so little conflicts. We r at ease when we sit in silence nd listen to the chirping of the birds or see the artistic twist nd turns of trees. And when we see around us so many invisible hands working for their own interest but in totality they r contributing to the larger good nd construction.
But life has a beauty bcoz it has an other side too….. that other side where by choice or by compulsion we’ve to take a stand. Where we’ve more questions from ourself than the answers which we r seeking from any other outside source.
I wont say that these phases don’t ve any beauty , they do ve which we realize after a time lag.
May be it is that only beauty that is driving u on to contemplate nd to write !
Ruchi.
