Are You ‘Top Drawer’ Or ‘Bottom Drawer’?
Some people have ‘Delusions Of Grandeur’ and think they are ‘Top Drawer’ others think they are, ‘Bottom Of The Pile’.Where do you think you come on the Grandeur Scale? Top, Middle or Bottom?
Do you know people who think they are really special and above the rest.... when in fact, they’re nowt?!!

I have a few friends who put the voice on..... well they didn’t talk like that years ago. You’d think they were one of the Windsors!

Re: Are You ‘Top Drawer’ Or ‘Bottom Drawer’?
I am nothing Artangel. I long since realised that a key part of life is to realise that we are nothing, we don't matter and we are born into a body with ego which serves initially to help us survive and establish our ground but which ultimately has to die if we are to progress forward.I don't care particularly what I look like. I am not the least bit vain. I don't have tattoos or anything like that.
I realise that just as we went from being babies to kids, from kids to teenagers, from teenagers to young adults and from young adults to older adults . . . . that life obviously operates in stages and it's up to us to keep with the pace. If we don't we end up in adulthood with teenage behaviours and so on.
Part of my giving up work was the realisation 2-3 years beforehand that there is more to life and I was wasting much of it sitting in an office in front of a computer screen. I wasn't keeping up with the pace of life but slipping behind.
I was on the treadmill which serves only to trap people.
So I broke free. A leap into the unknown. I have never ever been out of work so it was a slightly daunting prospect.
However I never looked back.
When you cease work, you have a most precious gift. . . TIME
You have time to sit and contemplate. To think about who you are, why you are here, where you are going and what you should be doing.
You have time to appreciate Nature around you. Not in a fluffy unicorn way (i.e. that's a lovely flower) but rather you start to look and see how Nature operates and realising that you are also a product of Nature you begin to appreciate how you operate in tune with Nature's processes.
In short I have absolutely no self allusions at all. The path to understanding who and what we are is, imho, hidden until we set aside our selves and realise that we are nothing, just a part of Nature. Once the path is revealed we can begin to explore it.
