Hi RKN
I liked your story and analogy.

(This does not mean that I will not defend my point of view, which I have
spent a lifetime developing.)
This reminds me of a story. Please note that this is just a story and not
meant to offend or challenge anybody:
A man in his 60s was enamoured of a temple bull, particularly its circular
horns. Every morning the old man would gaze wistfully at the mighty horns
for
hours and ponder what would happen if he shoved his head into the circle.
But
he never had the guts to test it.
Years passed. The old man, now in his 70s, one day found the bull lying on
the
floor in a relaxed manner. He couldn't resist the temptation any more.
"It'll
just take a second," he thought and gently put his head between the horns.
The
rattled bull sprang to its feet and started running, with the old man
forked
between the horns.
Some astounded bystanders ran after the bull and managed to free the old
guy.
He escaped with a broken collar bone and a few bruises. "Hey, how could
you do
such a thoughtless thing?" someone asked.
"Thoughtless?" replied the old man. "What do you think I've been thinking
of
all these years?"
Mario's points of view, which he spent a lifetime developing, remind me of
this story. :-)
Cheers,
RKN
