Paige's Question

 Now you have to understand Paige is my niece and she is just 13 so even though she is very bright she has very little experience in life so when she posted this question on her facebook Page I was impressed with her cleverness at first then as I thought about it her innocence became apparent. Here is the question and her answer. If you were stranded on a desert island what one thing would you take with you???? and her answer was a boat to get of the island. that is clever but then I thought to my self what does the island represent.
 I was standing on a dock in Kemah TX one time with a friend of mine we were just killing time waiting to go  sailing on Galveston Bay it was a beautiful Nov. day not to hot not to cold just perfect so I turned to my friend and asked looking out over the water what does that scene mean to you and with out a moments hesitation
he said freedom this is one of the reasons he and I were such good friend we thought alot a like.
 Well now the island is the same thing it is freedom. No job no money no people no law no responsibility
you live or die off your wits. the last thing you would want is a boat to get off the island.
Civilisation is like a prison you live in your house you go to your job you pay your bills you  have relationships with other people you live you love you die. You are alway preparing for tomorrow so you never live now you are always planing for this for that its never right now lets do it now lets have fun now
lets play now lets be alive now. That's the way life is suppose to be lived but not here in a industrialized country there are rules and regulations and political correctness it is stifling. So the freedom of a desert island you don't need no dam boat just someone to enjoy it with.....
