Speaking of profoundness... one of the most profound thing's I've ever said:
(3:05:40 PM) Bob: And the reason I'm in the mess I'm in is that the world I constructed for myself is falling out of my control - I had my head in the clouds, sorta. You've always got two feet on the ground, so things don't fall apart for you like that...is what I believe.
(3:06:50 PM) Me: I'd rather fly than stay with two feet on the ground. Besides if you don't lift a foot off the ground every once and a while, you aren't moving anywhere.
(3:07:01 PM) Bob: True
(3:07:15 PM) Bob: But if you don't have at least one foot on the ground, you'll be blown away - that's me.
(3:07:32 PM) Me: Perhaps.
(3:07:48 PM) Bob: You know who you are and where you stand. I'm lost.
(3:08:09 PM) Me: But if you let the wind take you where it will, then you get there faster
(3:08:54 PM) Me: On the contrary, I know next to nothing about who I really am, but knowing that I know that gives me the appearance of knowing exactly where I stand.
(3:09:19 PM) Me: what I see and do is just the skin, there's much more to me than even I could ever imagine.
Note: the name Bob is not the real name, but to protect identities, I changed it.
