Reading your text feels really weird.
As if I was reading my own thoughts, just written down...
But that's because I've been working very intensively on this topic for some time now.

Have rediscovered an old drawing of me and then I digressed a little...^^
Exactly my thoughts on most of OP's posts but better written than I would have done.
