[QUOTE="Jeremy Ackerman-Yost, post: 1391952, member: 4720"] Don't know if this is helpful, but here's how I see it... You ever meet anyone with an unusually strong presence to them? Not necessarily charisma, but just an air of... significance, for lack of a better word. I knew a guy once, he was actually sort of mousey, and he was a substitute teacher at my high school, a rather unassuming job. He was also a very pleasant, gregarious fellow who seemed to remember everything about every person he met, with a penchant for handing out newspaper articles he thought you might be interested in. He could even be called a bit odd. But you just always felt like there was more to him than you saw. And even the kids that made fun of every teacher (and especially substitutes) seemed to show him an odd sort of respect. And no one knew why. Turns out he was about 10 years older than he looked, he had been a philosophy major in college, worked the pipeline in Alaska, worked his way all over Europe, climbed Everest, and had returned home to take care of his ailing mother, which is what led to the substitute job. And that just scratches the surface of what this guy had done with his life by the age of 35. I like to think that he had a couple levels of Human. He had personally experienced so much of life without nailing himself down into a niche, or any specific role. Hope that helps. :) [/QUOTE]
