     That was me responding to Arjen's post. I meant, metaphorically, that
     for the bulk of my life, had relegated myself to a nominal existence
     and was losing the will to live (but not to survive...wasn't suicidal,
     just unmotivated). Relentlessly, repeatitively bashing oneself
     against an unseen barrier (the window pane) when, if a broader view
     were taken, other options for freedom were there for the taking.
     That's where I am now!
