The desperate quest for certainty is a consequence of the simple fact that most people are truly and deeply terrified of freedom. Freedom implies responsibility and a surprising number of people spend their lives trying to deny and avoid responsibility at every turn. One way of looking at the notion of karma is as a realization that responsibility and consequence are unavoidable because freedom and choice are unavoidable.

I have no hidden message, and my post was merely an awkward attempt at saying, "You may be better at this than I". Just an honest assessment, not trying to be snide. Just to simply elaborate a small bit, I am trying to convey that FOR ME, and only speaking FOR ME (because knowing about others on the Internet are inherently limited, as these back-and-forths are unfortunately tending to show) FOR ME, the scales of asset/debit re posting are tipping toward the negative. For you, they are not, and I am pleased to hear that. No "schadenfreude" or mockery, or spoofing, or any "hidden" message. I read your personal assessments of posting and what it has done for you, and I hold you in high respect, and I say, "Good for you >(Solon), man!". Simple as that.
