    :hello:Interesting & thought provoking.
    It matches with your profile quote :
    Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true.
    2. A little bit of slope makes up for lotofy intercept.
    3. But it is also said when you are in Rome ......wear a toga ...
    God can be felt if one cultivars positive values consistently.

    I had the opportunity to be in close proximity with people with radically different value systems most of my life from a very young age. It has helped me to introspect a lot in my life besides increasing my conviction of my values. The responsibility comes with the conviction on our values. These experiences are created for us to sort our values that might be conflicting within us as well.

    That was one my takeaways as well. The initial answers to the question of how far I was willing to compromise on what truly matters to me were surprisingly nebulous. It took deliberate thinking to boil down the essence of my convictions. Having taken the time to think through it I feel a sense of clarity that I didn't know I was missing. I wish could discuss the actual incidents but that would entail sharing more than I am comfortable with. Suffice it to say that the last two weeks were a time of fruitful self discovery. : )

    Ha ha! I agree with you. When in Rome donning a toga is sound advice but getting drunk at a Bacchanalia is where I'd draw the line. Actually that quite accurately sums up what the introspection was all about! : )

    This is a great update which I have been waiting to read from you.
    Kudos on finishing 66 miles ... It's inspiring to read that inspite of your setback in between you still made it to the race and successfully completed it. :banana::cheer:
    And good luck with Ph.D:thumbup:
