See CP...it is not that hard to show your bias instead of hiding behind a facade of being nonbiased. Wink

Of course, I think it would have been more accurate to say:

Did I really?

I thought I said that "You can alter things but not change them completely" or something like that.

I do not remember stating wanting to change or alter things. So to answer your question "What do you want to change?" I guess I'll say: I don't know.

Maybe feel more fulfilled!

If I had a dime every time I've heard that.. I think I'm going to refrain from commenting on that.

?

You've made me curious now though. From what in particular?

If you're going to refrain from commenting then why did you comment in order to say that? - now you've made me all curious.

Ok, so why don't you feel fulfilled? If that's not a rude question (or too personal).

Oh yes that's right, I should have said 'you are the one who stated you can alter and affect things'.

Well I want to feel more fulfilled.

I don't aspire to be 100% fulfilled because I believe that perhaps there is no such thing, but even if there is - I'd rather never be satisfied so that I keep striving and never settle for second best.

I believe fullfillment = satisfaction.

I feel that I am about 97% satisfied!

Ok, you want to feel more fulfilled, but what would make you feel that way. What are you missing?

The point is to NEVER be satisfied!!

That way you are always striving for better, big, longer, harder, and any other ...er you could think of.
