One of the advantages of being officially a nut-case is that one spends a great deal of time learning about the way one's mind works. We've only known each other a short period, so you were spared the few years in which I was bat-shit crazy, and I like to think I've come a long way since then.
I've been doing a lot of very quiet inner work in the past three or four years (or possibly even five, I forget), and it's still not done. There's a reason I've entitled this LJ "Work in Progress."
I figure that even though no one is perfect and by nature human beings will always be flawed, it would be a mistake not to continually strive to be a better person. Self-improvement isn't a goal, it's a journey. :)
I've enjoyed reading your posts, too, although I rarely comment on anyone's LJ these days (mostly due to lack of time). You have some interesting insights, and a perspective that, having never been married and having never had children, I don't have.
