It is interesting how everyone is looking, needing, searching, trying to find, hoping for, etc. something. And, without these extrinsic needs, this forum would, in all likelihood, not be very popular or at least, not like it is now. And, this phenomenon is just here in the US, but it is global in nature and in impact...
My comments certainly pertain to those who are seriously but also to those who are not serious but want to be a tangential member to the group... again, the need to belong......
And, this author, considers himself to inside the throw of things as well, but certainly not like someone who posts 8-10 a day for the last 2-3 years; nonetheless, the experience for me is enticing, alluring, sometimes spell-binding, and more-or-less addictive or else I would not be coming back......
But, like the character in the play who sits on a park bench waiting for Gadot, Gadot never arrives. And, while this play is Existential in nature, it does have implications here because even though most of us are waiting for Gadot to arrive, we can experience the joys of meeting new people (even superficially) who supposedly share similar interests, or so we may be led to believe. And, regardless of whether or not it is true, we make it true, to satisfy our need to belong as well as our need to be cared about.
SO, I "SALUTE" this forum and all its participants, regardless of your fetishes and/or desires and/or needs because we are all part of the same global community....
And, if anyone really wants to get to know this old hippie fart, 60's survivor, and attendee at Woodstock, I will be more than willing to "roll one" with you - symbolically of course, and we can go on some kinda cyber high taking this virtual reality experience to a whole new level.....
And, therein lies the truth for which we all seek.
Peace be with you....
