I just made a very short entry "Life As Error" and I truly would rather be a non-committed person, a fence rider, than someone who only does things for their own betterment, without ever thinking of another. Everyone has burdens. It's those decent souls who lighten them I see as warriors in life. Thanks for the post, Patrick, very inspiring.
