Now, can you show me the 999,999 out of every million seven year-olds that you are claiming are in a state of existental crisis because their lives lack meaning? How long has it been since you played with a kid, anyway?
You really seem to be investing a lot in refuting this idea, KMO--that the state you're chasing so hard after may have once been something that came effortlessly to you. Tell me, are you getting a good return on that investment? What's it protecting you from anyway?
