Damn, Cleveland! I just got back from a rather stressful week away from home; one of many recently. Thanks for the much needed dose of zen.
Here's my first thought in that vein (no pun intended) Some people get themselves off on discovery or accomplishment or serving others or building a legacy or some combination. I'm not talking giving more than your fair share 9 - 5. I'm talking about pursuing this opus to the point of totally and utterly neglecting other concerns, like getting adequate sleep and nutrition, paying proper attention to a family (having a family to begin with), finances.
Those who become completely obsessed like this become elite surgeons. And some of the most obsessive among those remain on staff at hospitals as attending physicians, making a pittance of what they could make in private practice, just to get the hard doses coming regularly. If it were booze or heroin or some other medicine instead of medicin as a profession, you'd describe these people as totally dysfunctional basket cases and (some of ya'll) recomend meetings.
It's all in your perspective, really; what's important to you and to those who are important to you.
Question. If every cloud has a silver lining, would that include mushroom clouds?

If you happen to run into one of my brothers, would you try and explain that to him please? They won't believe me when I try to tell them.
All contemporary religions and churches, all and every kind of religious organization, Marxism has always viewed as organs of bourgeois reaction, serving as a defense of exploitation and the doping of the working-classes.

Antigen, I got to say some days I wonder if the fumes from the mushroom cloud have affected you in an odd way. Possibly its me, but I have a hard time following you. I still picture you in army boots & camouflage.(in my own mind) On one hand you come off extremely intelligent but you go off on these weird angles that on more than one occasion I can prove you wrong because I witnessed events or facts that you have totally
twisted or you have a totally unrealistic view of and I'm not trying to be cruel but you looked at these things from a young kids point of view. I know nothing of straight inc but I do know the Seed or at least 30 years worth. How old were you the last time you stepped foot into the Seed?

I'd love to. It took me 30+ years to figure that out, lots of therapy, many, many tears and a whole lot of other bullshit that I won't bother to go into. And yet, it's so simple. I wonder why others can't see it.
I expect there will always be people I disagree with. However, disagreement is sometimes only a matter of perspective. Like your example of the physician obsessed with saving lives. Does the result of the obsession make it any better? I dunno. But if I had to choose between the 9-5 guy who can go home and leave it all behind and not worry about my well-being versus the obsessed, driven healer, I'd pick the obsessed guy. But then, that's just me.
Thanks for all of your hard work here on this site. The explosion that has been my life over the past years is finally being sorted out, ordered and somewhat contained. The information, feed back and ideas here are invaluable and eyou are all doing a wonderful thing. Thank you all, again.

The above is directed to Antigen. I'll get the hang of the quote and reply methodology eventually.
