Hello kakaboo, for me the answer is simple ... inspiration.

To coin the word of streetsanto "think tank" ... this is how i view inward quest as a big reservoir of living energy ... it feels a bit like choosing a tarot card, it stimulates the imagination and always leads to an enlightening path ... enlightening in the way of showing us when we are being negative and when we are being positive.

have fun :)

I used to read questions and answers here way before I ever created an account. I made one just so I could be apart of it and voice my own experiences and opinions. Sometimes, questions are answered much better than I feel I could have answered them. Sometimes, though, I feel like there's an answer that no one else is touching on... so I made an account instead of keeping it to myself. :) I've never done it for the reputation points... to me they're just an easy way to say "thank you" or "thanks for asking this/I wonder that too". I'm not trying to get points, but when my answers are voted it reassures me that someone found something valuable in it. But I also know there are lots of people who follow the site who don't have accounts but still find information here helpful, because I used to. There are a lot of great people with insightful answers here and I wanted to be apart of it and help people out.

Helping other people is always something that I felt the need to do in my life. If I can give some helpful advice every now and again, then that makes me a very happy guy. I definitively don't expect every answer I give to be the "a-ha" moment for the person who is reading it, but even if my answer gets zero votes and a random individual visiting the site for the first time finds something I said to be beneficial, then that is a very exciting thing for me.

I also only like to give an answer when I personally feel that its coming from my heart and not boredom. This website is different from a lot of others. There are plenty of other places on the internet to ramble on about things out of boredom or to rack up posts or points, but to me, this place deserves deep down well thought out questions and answers.

I am very appreciative of well thought out from the heart type of answers that I receive here, so I only see fit to do the same for others who are in need of some well thought out advice and opinions in return.

"we teach best what we most need to learn" says Richard Bach. I have enjoyed answering the questions that caught my attention on the site. I have never forced myself to answer any question. I just have fun at this site.

I had no road map, so I read and sucked up as much knowledge as I could. It has helped me out of some real situations. So I give back and it helps me too. It is always better to be involved, it stays with you longer and it expands ones awareness.

For me, I feel drawn to the questions that I have probably thought about or asked. In the past and was led down a path to search for a semblance of understanding towards. I may not always have the answer but I usually can share ideas that I've found or my own experiences in relation to or in support of the question being asked
