    You are awesome. THANK YOU...Sometimes I lose perspective, you don't. A small victory I suppose, to see there are still nice people out there, that care and do something about how they feel.

      Do you think I never lose perspective? A few square meters of canvasses have had flying lessons over the past months. And the evenings talking to myself, anticipating on problems that might arise, but never will. Or those times I was so locked up by bureaucracy that I had no other option than comply, eventhough there were plenty of other possiibilities, but ruled out by that same bureaucracy. Yeah, I lose perspective sometimes, but I know it is part of life. Many people have problems, because they set their goals way too narrow. It is better to start all open and see what bubbles up, all the while adjusting and adapting to society. It looks like a life of being unlucky, but it is more a life of good and poor choices.

      Actually, how does one lose perspective? Because it is a personal view and experience, you can never lose it. It's in you.

      Being nice is what brings happiness. It is the hardest, but most comfortable way of surviving. It is hard, because people. It is nice, because people. ;-)

      Yes, you are a warrior, and you conquer what most of us never have, our own fears.

      Hahaha, no I am not a warrior. Except in Command & Conquer. Then I reign supreme! :-)

      The thing I fear most is myself. Nothing else, actually, because when you go, you go. Without being reckless, that is. :-)

      And you are humble. True leadership qualities.

      Well, clearly you have never been in my house while I'm discussing competition. Or, to be more exact, give theatrical monologues, not free of a grand variety of cusswords and self-proclaimed glorification of my brushstrokes and can-control. Then humility is not found in quite a large area. That's where the other jobs kick in, to take a distance, fire up (and train) a completely different set of neurons. It adds, but also relaxes. ;-)
