~looks over Thrasher's thoughts and queries~
If that's "discursive or trite", I'd be no doubt blown away by your substantial effort.
Seriously.
I'll add something personal here. I originally posed the question because I am seeking answers to my life's questions. Some here understand that, others, not so much. It doesn't matter as people can say what they want in any way they want. I can put on my wading boots any time I need to.
Many would say, "why the hell ask here??". Because "here" is one of the few places I feel comfortable in asking. Yes, the anonymity helps, but it's more about like-minds and such, despite the differences we obviously have. My other asking option involves those who are very...defined in their responses. While I can appreciate their input, I also appreciate the outside-the-box thinking to be had here.
Thank you for your input Thrasher. You've given me even more to consider. (and I mean that in a good way)
