A rush? Don't flatter yourself, Mike. I just think people -- particularly people like you who enjoy giving smug assessments of others -- should be held accountable for their own flaws. And I just so happen to be good at accomplishing that.
Make no mistake: I am as subject to criticism as anyone else. I don't shy away from it, and I don't try to disguise my identity with some pseudonym like "Joe Humble."
I hope you find that explanation satisfactory.
Sounds like you're a real joy to be around. Do you have kids? They are packed full of flaws so if you don't you might want to consider it.
But you're not still a child, are you, Mike? Do you ever plan to become an emotionally mature adult?

And to them your opinion might even matter! I bet you can get all excited inside just thinking about it.
I'm excited that the children I raised have all turned out to be reasonably well adjusted adults.

Do they lift?
All of them have been taught. Whether or not they practice it is up to them. Many young adults are too busy with other stuff.

Yeah... It's common to hit middle age then suddenly realize you are beginning to fall apart, then hit it hard to try to get it all back before it's too late! <lol> -- Om.
