I've read your posts for a few weeks now @pinacle.

At first I was upset that your vote-buying had pushed other content away from the top of the #philosophy tag. I rarely agree with what you say, but disagreement doesn't normally make me angry. Either way, my anger has passed.

Then I was curious, trying to work out if this was all just a way to make money, or if it was a way for you to try to make sense of your life at the same time as seeking validation from others. I think it is all three; these things are not mutually exclusive.

But there's more isn't there? Each post is a clue - like a trail of breadcrumbs for those smart enough to follow. Like those TV criminals for whom avoiding arrest is a game, and that deep down they hope to be caught, so the world can finally acknowledge the genius of their art.

Your photos indicate to me a certain level of wealth and security. But they are so neat, so empty, and a little sad. You might not be like those people who lose all their money in investment scams/disasters. But you strike me as having lost something, or someone.

There's some kind of disconnection to the people around you too. Did you feel lonely standing in line at TJ Maxx, even though there were all those people there near you? For what it's worth, you aren't the only person to have ever felt something like that.

You are guarded. You want us to see the world through your eyes. And yet, we never see you.

Perhaps some questions are better left both unasked and unanswered.

Anyway, I have other things I should be doing - other goals that I want to achieve that aren't advanced by writing a comment that you might never even read. But I did want to say, from one human to another, I hope you are doing OK, and that you find whatever it is that you are looking for.
