You don’t need to be here, reading this. You are not obligated or coerced except by the exercise of your own free will. You have within your nature and cognitive power the opportunity to turn aside and not continue reading. Some will, some won’t.

You are probably hoping that some measure of relevance or some significant issue will grab your attention long enough to engage your mind in worthwhile consideration.
