Here is the text of this conversation:

“Ok. We have been speaking of fulfillment being dependent on a perceived lack of fulfillment. Let’s unpack that more.

“So, somebody suddenly finds themself (I use the plural to avoid the absurd binary gender restrictions and the impositions about gender stereotypes, right Pat?) They find themselves on top of Denali (and note, I don’t use the imperialistic Mt. McKinley. I am so SC.) [spiritually correct] So, they are suddenly atop Denali. Have they achieved anything other than a great view? No.

“The top of any mountain is only meaningful in the ascent from below. See what I am saying. Fulfillment is not meaningful if spontaneous. It must grow from a perception of possibility through the trials of achievement. That’s it.”
