Ourcellves? (Identity)

GATEKEEPER: But I don't think we have enough information to have it as clarified as we would like. That causes some of us to be uneasy, unsettled, maybe even a tad anxious. It does me anyway.-The good news is that this "uneasiness" motivates us to keep looking. "Q" from star trek comes to mind for me. The unknown may give some "A purpose".
-Your remark about not having enough information puts into a nutshell my own feelings about virtually every subject we discuss on this forum, though I'm sorry this makes you anxious. I was anxious when I was young, but now I am simply fascinated and sometimes even excited by it all. I only become anxious when the fundamentalists of whatever persuasion attempt to belittle or even eliminate those who do not share their beliefs. Fortunately we have had very few on this website, and they have swiftly departed. The fact that we all keep looking is for me one of the most heartening and most admirable traits of our humanity ... and I have found this shared quest wonderfully stimulating and enlightening. Of course those with firm beliefs may find it frustrating too!
