Had an "Aha" moment - possibly explaining my lack of interest in reading the forums lately.
I'm dumbstruck by how Neanderthal-like some of the posts are around here. Those regarding lust for money, women, and "power" are such a turn-off to me anymore. I can't help but shake my head at some of the lifestyles being lead - let alone worshiped - by some of the guys here. They even have fanboys kissing their hind ends everyday. I guess it's that way anywhere you go, though, isn't it?
I'm not impressed by jerks using women and lusting for "power." I think it's sad that I seem to be in the minority about that. I'm just a normal guy who wants to feel more confident on a path I find life-affirming, good, and ripe with joy, peace, and healthy relationships. I'm married, so I'm good on women. We make great money, so I'm good there too. My son means the world to me. Now, it's my only purpose to ensure the quality our interpersonal relationships, and that the love we share increases.
Everyone's entitled to live their life as they see fit. I'm just really glad I've matured beyond wanting any part of those types of lifestyles, and it feels great! Thanks EHPRA 2.0 (and Shannon, of course).
