Rob I'm interested if you ever think our capacity to answer will catch up to our capacity to ask. It seems the more we answer, the more questions arise. "I don't know" is acceptable, but we will always seek the answer to those questions we feel are important to us. We can deduce an answer that seems plausible, but still requires more questions.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
