There's a little thing called maturity that improves with age. Compare our situation awareness from down on the street, or hacking through the bushes, with how the same scenes would appear if we could find a higher vantage point, like a building, to look down from. The greater vision and persepective explains many things that didn't make sense at a lower level.

The same is true of our social perspectives. The ego laden strutting of our younger years, narrow focused on self, gives way to realisations like: good solutions do not come from conflict; that you don't heal things by bashing them with a hammer; and that most people won't participate willingly in a brawl.

This forum, or something like it, is important to the community. It's a shame to spoil it.
