Hi Mike, reading through your piece I thought that your are just confirming the long held thoughts I've had, so wasn't going to comment. Upon reflection I find myself with questions which you have the right to not answer and I shall respect this. Just call it my curiosity and desire to understand but in a compassionate way. You speak of things you have done previously and in my previous comments to one of your earlier posts I've spoken about identity and a need to belong. So my questions are who are you now as a person and where do you belong?
I've asked myself if I should ask these questions and concluded that the worst thing that can happen is a no response by you. I hope I am not causing offence or being too direct.
Who I am & where I feel a sense of belonging is fluid. I sat with these questions for 24 hours to arrive at this astonishing insight, cringing at how pompous just about any answer would inevitably sound haha.
UMH. ok a fluidity is fair enough and sounds pretty 'normal' I would challenge your comment on being pompous, as whilst there may or may not, be some elements of this. Some of the things you write are definitely not pompous and indicate a sense of sensitivity and compassion which equals, to my thinking, that you can't be all pompous. I have met many pompous arrogant people through my life and I don't see you having their level of mastery on this. If you would prefer me not to keep commenting on your posts I can always evaporate!
