Guess we didn't escape this.
Human beings are crisis oriented. That means if your shoes fit well, you are unlikely to notice them. If they hurt you, you take note and assess the reason for the pain.
Hence many people know what makes them feel good but are unlikely to talk about it. Not surprisingly, this is encouraged in our society - put a positive spin on it and anyone will listen to your bad news. Tell it realistically and your audience will vanish. the exceptions are: 1) when you have someone who is feeling needy in terms of wanting to be wanted. That person wants you to have problems they can solve, and 2) rubberneckers who want to see what kind of car wreck that was.
I'm going to guess that this is why the nightmare thread has more reads than the dream come true thread. Also because when you post you automatically also get a read.

Its been hours since my second prodding.

I was thinking that maybe iy would be a challenge to people to submit more dreams if it was put out there the way i had.


Meaning it as a kind of a challenge.
And i honestly expectedpeople to answer more positive and slant the results.

Its even worse than i imagined. people are afraid to dream, or at least act on their dreams.

Even the typical underdogs, arguably the membership on WP, didn't stand up for the underdog post. And it cannot be blamed on traffic, because there have been a solid number of members logged on.
It could be me, people are bored from the drivel. they see SB2 last post and the realize it would be a waste of time. So all hope is not lost.
I will try again another time on a different topic, in a different way. But i will use an alias, or recuit someone (popular like Sophist) to do my dirty work.

I am way to curious.
