Paradise Island

[Angel One]

We had this discussion a long time ago on an old forum, but we have a lot of new people now, so...

Wouldnt it be great if we could go and live on an island? As in buy our own island? They can go for around 100 K for a small one. We could have our own spring on it for water, grow our own food, have some kind of a generator for power.
Wed have everythign we needed, and we would be able to just leave all the corruption and control behind. Wed all be able to do our own thing.
We could bring computers and phones for contact with the mainland, have some kind of satellite uplink on the island.
Who would go? Im probably going to do something like this one day, if I get enough money, just wondering who else would go...
We could also set up our own country, but the island, and annex it, set up our own seperate country in the eyes of the law. Our own laws, our own rules... (Or lack thereof ;D ) We could legalise... certain natural products

that's really cool idea, not impractical, it is possible. However will your vision or image of this island in your mind be same as real experience? Paradise is with you at this time, and was always with you, it is open to you, yet you chosoe not to experience it. Let go, and feelt he moment, live the moment, because we can only live in the moment. Doing becoems being, thinking becomes being, without thinking becomes nothing, just original being. Breathe in, thank you air, breathe out thank you lung. Life is paradise man.

peace

I remember this post from before!

Huhm....

Life is paradise man.

lol, you made me remember a part of one of the Animorphs books....
No, two books....

lol, the Ellimist, the second most powerful being in the universe, is trying to save Earth *because* of it's natural beauty. And in another book, one of the Yeerks say that Earth is the *only* planet with beauty like that.
