3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
I have a quality for which I am profoundly grateful, that has elevated me to a level of conscious few will ever achieve - curiosity. A social misfit from as early as I can remember, I found solace from the age of around 9 years old in the local library, at first mainly in sex education books and history atlases, but moving on to other fields. From then on I was always interested in resouece books and finding things out.

With the advent of the World Wide Web, all human knowledge is now open to me, and I have accrued sufficient wisdom and knowledge to contribute back into world's the collective database. This inherent gift of curiosity has led me to the blissful place I find myself in now. I have come to realize what a rare and prceious gift it is - so few around me are even remotely interested in anything beyong their immediate experience, wilfully ingnorant of the true nature of the Universe.

I have only begun to appreciate this gift which separates me from the masses. That which isolated me for so long has ultimately liberated me.
