Anyways, this is a bike forum. There are tons of boring posts on here everyday. In fact, I bet most people surfing this forum are bored.
You're assuming about a person's character again without knowing them. You certainly can't transpose the way you derive meaning in your life or your set of values onto another person so it's terribly short sighted to tell a person "I feel this way, and because I haven't given much thought to the interpretive nature of reality, I assume you must share the same value system and therefore you must have had different experiences to come to a different conclusion than the one I have". While the way you interpret your experiences led you to your conclusion, it's borderline ridiculous to assume that the only way to arrive at a different conclusion is to have had different experiences, or that your conclusion is the only possible one that can be correct. That's borderline ridiculous and if I were in your shoes I'd consider it a strong character flaw, but you're free to do whatever you want.
