Hmm, you're very right. We all must stand our ground, the only way we know how. I think it's funny in a way, that you and I are on such opposite ends of this chasm, both looking to get closer to the other's side. Not that you necessarily want to give up these things, and not that I necessarily want them, but just that, in each of our own ways, we want to get down to what is really us, and let that be the person we try to become. At any rate, thank you. It is good to know you are not alone in this, and as you said, I will continue to stand my ground, in the only way I know how.
