John Updike had a very clever picture of a consuming ego when he said, "Celebrity is a mask that consumes the face".

It is said by teaching we are taught. I was taught by 12,000 therapy clients and surprisingly, the many former members of this forum now passed. I owe them a debt of gratitude for waking me up from a boring sleep.

Just as 'all fame is fleeting', so is the flame of life itself.
Get to it, getter done, just do it, do what makes you proud in 20 years or the eternal now.
My debt is paid, just don't contact the Bank.
