No worries about long replies! Part of what this platform needs more of (in order to attract more users) is *meaningful engagement.

My uncle Erik in Denmark was a Lutheran Minister, and he was fond of pointing out (in relation to people eternally striving for riches and material wealth) that "shrouds have no pockets." Maybe it's a trite and overused cliché, but at the same time it also holds a lot of truth... and perhaps more people would do well to keep it in mind.

Sometimes I can't help but feel that the (intended to be humorous) film "Idiocracy" was more prophetic than its otherwise silly nature would lead viewers to believe.
