I feel the emotions and effects of events and things very deeply, sometimes to the point of illness.
I have had some vivid and extraordinary experiences which could be called psychic but not as in some stereotypical Jo-jo-the-idiotic-sellout-psychic-manner. Dreams and visions I've had sometimes prove to foretell the future, even when the outcome is not good.
I love the forest and the natural world without people imposing upon it. I need that to "regenerate" as I do music and the love of my child.
I seek to help cultivate the "natural world" within people, seeking the garden within people's lives, not put-up like some facade or cement building but seek the natural truth.
I have a structured mind, trained also in engineering and seek logic and rationale in technical problems.
I live to help people, to solve problems and to be creative for good purposes and to share learning for good purposes. Money is an awful motivator for me, I only wish to be free from want and not be rich by the white man's corporate definition (no racial commentary implied, I am also white).
My approach to life - what is your problem is also my problem (and in a perfect world I'd hope for reciprocation).
I wan't going to reply to this one because anything I could say good about myself is tempered by an understanding that I could be wrong. :-)
And that's IT! That is my best quality, no internalized need to validate my existence, and a (graceful?) balance of humility. Knowing that the more I know, the less I REALLY know and the more there is to learn; an understanding that I am **NOT** the center of the universe and there are far brighter stars from which I can learn much more; in action, this equates to helping everyone as much as possible, but never assume an air of authority and keep an open ear to new ideas; to do otherwise leads only to lonliness and isolation, both personally and professionally.
And I know how to PLAY. I look around at other adults, it seems their backs have all gone stiff (metaphorically) and they don't know how to play. I think that's the one thing my wife sees in me, there's still a snot-nosed, dirty-handed little kid in here with a frog in one pocket and a ball of string and decoder ring in the other.
So what do I win? We know this is all about me, right? :-)
I am also endowed with a special gift called, "Encouragement" meaning, that no matter what happens in a persons life to discourage them, I can encourage them.
I also wear a hat called, "Peacemaker" so there's always smooth sailing through rough waters.
And I have an unusual ability to keep calm, when everyone else is frantic.
However, with all of these good qualities, I have failed to make friends my entire life. I don't have any friends, have never had any friends, and no seeks to make a friendship with me. So... I'm pretty much a loner.
I've never been one to follow a crowd, yet in a crowd, I'm easy to pick out.
Anybody ever take a Personality Quiz before? The results said that 12% of the population in the world has a personality like mine.
