What irks me are all these threads focusing on the past and Ricky bashing. Most of our opinions are formed about people based on our lives and what we would do in the same situation. If your not in somebody's shoes, you don't REALLY know what they're thinking. Ricky is eccentric, extremely intelligent, poorly understood and probably on a higher level of thinking than all of us. Most people who throw around allegations and insults are just professing their ignorance. He has a very eastern thought process or philosophy. Just cause we don't understand it doesn't mean we should condemn it. Read a book or two on Buddhism, Taoism, or Yoga and you will see whay he answers questions the way he does. He lives in the now. The past is the past and cannot be changed, and the future distracts us from the now. If you focus on the now and ejoying, fulfilling and taking advantage of the present; the future will take care of itself. Western philosophy has alot of catching up to do with eastern philosophy. The traditional western response to this is "FRUITCAKE". I disagree. It just takes more time and more effort to truly understand it and ourselves, so it's must easier to make fun of it and then try to better one another instead of trying to make ourselves better.
Wholly crap, Where the hell did that come from. I think I was possessed by the Dali Lama
