Damn, that sounds just like my father in 1973 giving one of his "your brain needed a little washin" speeches...all the while studying my face for signs of treason.
Nam, so sad for you that you think that way.

Whoa NAM !!
Sounds like your compass is working...
So's mine except that here in the SouthEastern US the declination factor doesn't let mine point directly North... Some ill-timed nooky and two marriages will atest to that!
Your compass analogy, however cute, is dangersously obtuse and flurts with taboo ideas.
If your point is that people are bitching about the treament they recieved and not moving on, I tend to agree. I sense there are some tree huggers here. BUT, regardless their perceptions and memories, they were left with confusion and pain to resolve that "a good talking to" just won't fix. Sometimes, deep wounds never heal.

I think it is missing the point a little. How can we know exactly how the past influences us? It's taken me a lifetime to understand how my family influenced me.
I know that the Seed had an effect on me. But I feel that it was a detour, rather than a whole new life (good or bad). I am the person I am today that I probably would have been without the Seed. I didn't get a 'new compass' installed or the old one taken out; or if I did, it was only as long as I was there, imitating Seed behaviour.
If I look very carefully, I can see that either I am a very slightly better person for the experience, or very slightly worse off. I did gain a new understanding of the limits of human behaviour, mine and others. On the otherhand I put my life in a straightjacket for 7 years.
But that is me. Maybe some were profoundly disturbed and/or helped by the Seed experience. I don't see it that way really, although it was a powerful experience I emerged pretty much the person that I am and always was. That's what I think.

To me, it seems the seed advocates are the ones that can't move on. Hell, most of them still spout seed sayings and truisms they learned 30 years ago like "the seed was about love" "I needed a kick in the ass" or "The seed saved my from my path of inevitable destruction" or some variant of that.
Perception is everything, perhaps.
