Rambi, thank you for your very kind post. And looking at mine, I do see that the phrase "some of you out there" sounds unduly personal. I was writing in haste, and really wasn't thinking. (I am having house guests this weekend, and should be cleaning and shopping!) In any event, I was not talking about YOU. Sorry to have given that impression. As for Karma, I think he cleared up what he meant, in one of his posts to you: I in no way support the abdication of responsibility to the family in order to follow one's dreams. I'm talking about abdicating slavery to societal expectations in order to live a life that is meaningful. For every family you know that has been wrecked by a dreamer, I'll bet there are 4 who've been wrecked by workaholics who thought giving their families material wealth was more important than emotional wealth. Screw my damn the torpedoes hyperbole. I just wish more people would live the lives they truly want (and can have) rather than the lives they feel are expected of them. When Thoreau said that "most men live lives of quiet desperation," he did not mean that they were living in material poverty, after all. Joan
