orchidsoul - With that being said, I would like to answer MacGuffin.
You said - "Interestingly enough, many peoples lifestyles revolve around "just a story". Most notably any religion." - I challenged you to give an example given that all the major religions were living the lifestyle well before their "story" was written. That said, this is off topic so it's best we agree to disagree.

littlepet - Hey Macguffin, I think we may be talking past each other.Yes and no. I will send you a pm rather than explain here........oops looks like I won't - never mind we broadly agree anyhow.

Ragoczy - I, for one, would like to see a bit more of the original purpose of this thread
Apologies for being off topic. I don't know enough about gorean philosphies to discuss them so I'll just follow the thread for a while.
