Almost everything I tried out for I pretty much got. I landed Power Rangers, and the rest is history.
I've always been aware of having feelings that were pretty intense at times. I imagine most people have had that, or they wouldn't be human.
Most of the music you hear on the radio today is developed for making money. It doesn't feel true or honest. You can feel it in the music.

Plainly, such an approach does not exclude other ways of trying to comprehend the world. Someone committed to it (as I am) can consistently believe (as I do) that we learn much more of human interest about how people think and feel and act by reading novels or studying history than from all of naturalistic psychology, and perhaps always will; similarly, the arts may offer appreciation of the heavens to which astrophysics cannot aspire.
