Forever and Ever....

It has been forever and ever since I have posted anything.  It was one of the many projects I'm involved in that got totally sideswiped by pressing events in real life.  But I would like to write this thing.  I think the topic merits discussion and attention.  Who, after all, are we?  Why do we choose to be what we are?  There is poetry in those decisions.  

In reading back over the comments left on those old posts, I am struck by those that say I'm trying to "make" avatars conform to a particular standard.  I am completely flabbergasted by that.  I don't see how that could be further from the truth.  I just want to know what motivates people, what influences their decisions.  What makes you who you are?
