I understand what you are saying V3d4. I think questioning is a good place to starting finding personal meaning, believing something because you are told doesn't do anyone favours. That is a good view to take on it.

I think it's pretty cool you find so much personal meaning in the things you believe, and always, thanks for sharing that with us, regardless of who wants to listen, I am thankful to hear a story of satisfaction like yours.
