Socialism is like life in a pandemic

I'm surprised not everyone knows what the ideals are.

 

well let’s just go with your ideals. Not going to read those books to become zen. I am already zen. Don’t need a book to tell me how to myself and compares me to a motorcycle that tells me I need maintenance.
What ideals do you believe a country should adhere too, what mechanical maintenance does the USA citizens need?

 

Yes morals and ethics by the way

 

I read that forty eight years ago! You making me feel old!

 

I'm not sure but seem to remember it was published in the early seventies?

 

I think we'd be surprised if we got to the actual roots of civilization.

 

But anyway, one American ideal is that a family of three shouldn't be living on the street in a tent.

 

Thank you. I knew it was sometime during the 70s. I've never read Lila, but knew two Arab-American women by that name, from around south eastern Ohio.

 

I have never figured out what brand his little motorcycle was. I kept thinking it was a small BSA, or Triumph, or maybe even a little old Honda 350? I was never able to look at a big disgusting Hardly Dangerous motorcycle again! I made the trip from Minnesota to Bozeman in my Ford Hippy Van, but on a bike.

 

HOW? How did you find out? I remember from the story that his son used to stand on the back of the bike and look over his father's shoulder at the end of the book. I thought is was some form of enlightenment. The son learned right along with the father?

 

Oh no! That's horrible. I just found all that info on the web and saw the pictures. I just loved Zen & Motorcycle. I am going to read Lila. I'm curious about any symbolic stuff with Middle Eastern wisdom. I saw Pirsig lived in Banaras India. I studied lots of Hindi and Zoroastrian stuff because of one special prof I had at Colorado State.

 

Hey! That sounds fabulous! I'll order it from Amazon today!
