We are on the same page then, although the 'why' could be somewhat inferred from the 'how', but it is not my interest either. Learning and educating on the 'how' is tho.
To be honest, even contemplating the 'why' aspect has terrified me sometimes as there's a part of me that worries the intellectual curiosity of what would make that choice seem ideal could somehow propel me down a terrifying spiritual path into STS. However I realize this fear comes from trauma and the STS path is not possible in my essence, it has been proven as such...it is the literal hell to me, and not a form of liberation at all. So I understand the reluctance some have over this subject.
