Proper scientists like Sheldon would look down on sociology though as it's not a hard science

I agree though psychology and sociology are both fascinating. I love learning about human behaviour and being able to use science in a practical sense rather than simply theoretical.

Rather it pays or not if you learn from and are inspired from it - it's worth all the gold in the world.

If you believe in reincarnation perhaps your passion and learning of the subject will pay out the next time around.

Sweety, they'll all eventually find you in the end.

I've been alone most of my life and most of my time. All that mattered was that I found the love and reception of that which is all and everything.

Not to sound convicted with silly fundamental and popular religious principles but I'm happy to be with "god" no matter what "god" presents itself as or where "god" takes me as long as it never conflicts with my base principles of not harming others.

But from that loving and accepting understanding, there really is absolutely no desire to hurt anyone else any way.

If you reach a point where all are quite and peaceful yet you do not find many friends or lovers - you're just at a rest stop. Tariki has backhandedly suggested many times that it is the garden of the Buddah. Beautiful, tranquil and oh so peaceful.

Definitely not the final stop, I don't think, but be it Heaven or Hell it is a place that either worlds return to take a break and have a rest. =)

I realized I was too into my studies when I "diagnosed" Sheldon with Asperger's Syndrome and then wikipedia'd it and saw that other people had those thoughts too. Pretty good inter-rater relability
