Alrighty, ready. Good morning, my friends. Good morning, good morning. Welcome to your Sunday morning

philosophy chat and happy to take questions, comments, issues, challenges, problems, criticisms,

whatever is on your mind. I'm happy to chat about. What I did want to talk about a little bit

this morning was the question of me plus. Me Plus is an idea that I introduced to the world

many years ago on the death of expert comedian Robin Williams, that Robin Williams, I guessed or

imagined or felt or thought, had to be himself plus making people laugh in order to be worth

something.

And that's kind of exhausting.

Now, I like to make people laugh. I have a reasonably

decent sense of humor, but it's not like a compulsion. Have you ever known those people,

like the compulsive jokers? They can't not make jokes. It's kind of a desperate plea or

requirement or demand for them.

So those people can be fun, kind of a little exhausting.

There are people who always have to be doing stuff for others.

There are people who have to have a lot of talent.

There are people who have to bring a lot of talent. There are people who have to

bring a lot of money to relationships in order to feel that they are worth something, that they

are worthwhile. And all of that is kind of exhausting. It's like this endless treadmill that people get on, that it seems almost impossible for them to get off.

Women do this too.

I have to be myself plus makeup.

I have to be myself plus great hair.

I have to be myself plus a hot body. I have to be myself plus a RBS attitude.
