A couple great "responses" to the issues raised in my last post:

‘"I surrendered my youth to the people I feared when I could have been out there loving someone. Don’t make that mistake yourself. Life’s too damn short.’  Armistead Maupin said this, wishing that he had "come out" as gay earlier in his life. But the comment might apply just as easily to lots of us who conduct our lives in fear of what other people think. Life is short, and then you die. No rehearsals."

"No one should abandon duties
because he sees defects in them.
Every action, every activity, is surrounded
by defects as a fire is surrounded by smoke."

(Bhagavad Gita, I8.47)
