Receiving an email from his ex wife, who had stated that she had a banger phone, as she made few calls, Norman wrote;
“If you have nothing then there is nothing for THEM to steal from you: unfortunately, the fact remains that you have nothing. I do not accept the philosophy of minimalism. I do not accept heidism either, but certainly being in an environment where one has to adjust downward is not really cutting it for me.”
” I do understand what you are saying, and I do acknowledge the practicality of it,but that is no where or way to live. Inertia is an incredible force to overcome.”
” Maybe you need to have a long hard look at where you are in life and make some decisions based in the reality that you are living in.”
His ex; Dee, replied:
“You misunderstood. What I am saying is that I don’t live on my cell phone. I make few calls. I live life. I talk to people I can have coffee with. My conversations are face to face. “
” I know people in RL not like the current generation who are
addicted to their cell phones.”
“I am one of those Be Here Now types where everything has become a social occasion. Every place I go, from gas station to supermarket to bank becomes a social event in which I really talk with people, not at them.”
“Only when I am physically at the computer am I checking email. Other than that, I am living my life in real time.”
How could he get it so wrong?
