What is a sceptics "comfort zone"? Refusal to acccept that an
anecdote is evidence!Refusal to accept someone else's mental
experiences as the "way' to reconcile all life's problems?
So you think that sceptics are a 'race' apart from believers . That,
whereas believers (like you) accept new interpretations, sceptics are
dogmatic and refuse to accept innovation? Get real. Sceptics refuse to
accept the miraculous inventions that you mystics manufacture in order
to deny the mundanity of their existence at the univesal level!
You mystics are so egocentric that you incapable of accepting that
humans 'just are', for no reason whatsoever! The same non-reason for
which a virulent cancer virus exists. To make humans suffer? Hardly!

All experience "adds" to one's perspective. Do you think that you are
imparting wisdom by stating such a truism?
I guess that you preach because you really believe your insight is
superior to that of other mortals.
You have come to terms with your own deficiences. I and others reach
the same by different roads, never travelled by you! Try to be more
humble!
