Well spoken, and agreed to on all counts. Perhaps I have more to add, but am too sleepy for that.

I like making a point of the last bit- that you are more likly to take risks and that people will help you.

Yes.

Whether it is in expression, art, learning a new skill (in my case stilts), trying a new experience (for example, a halucanegen), or even a new take on sextuality, one's persopnality, etc., you are supported and helped in that, without being pressured in any way. You could fall, you could look stupid, etc., and there is an acceptane of that, but also the sense that people will help you get up ( ... )
