Stay cool good people!
Dear friends ,
.
I'm quitting QLSG for good.
I'll still be on QL site.
.
I want to illustrate my decision with a story, and to illustrate the illustration, I'll use a story from my life.
.
Because even if I don't know you, I know what I'm about to describe has happened to you.
.
You are at a party, and you get bored.
You say "This isn't doing it for me anymore.
I'd rather be someplace else.
I'd rather be home asleep.
The people I wanted to talk to aren't here." Whatever.
The party fails to meet some threshold of interest.
And then a really remarkable thing happens: You don't leave.
You make a decision "I don't like this."
If you were in a bookstore and you said "I'm done," you'd walk out.
If you were in a coffee shop and said "This is boring," you'd walk out.
You're sitting at a party, you decide "I don't like this; I don't want to be here." And then you don't leave.
And then, another really remarkable thing happens.
Twenty minutes later, one person stands up and gets their coat, and what happens? Suddenly everyone is getting their coats on, all at the same time.
Which means that everyone had decided that the party was not for them, and no one had done anything about it, until finally this triggering event let the air out of the group, and everyone kind of felt okay about leaving.
It's obvious that there are no groups without members.
.
But what's less obvious is that there are no members without a group.
.
Because what would you be a member of?
.
Damn you, Darude!
.
Peace to all of you and thanks for supporting me and letting me support you.
.
Stay cool good people!
