@ray666 Hi there, what an interesting discussion! And, one I can also relate with, too! For me, I believe I've always been the third option - both. The curiosity just kills me, so I "have to know." I also love to learn things, and being a lifelong student really encourages that endeavor. Most days, I am focused on quality of life, today and moving forward, but honestly it just depends on the day for me. Having layers of chronic physical issues - and more acute ones that pop up here 'n' there - it depends on how I'm feeling and how frustrated I am. That determines the direction of my day. Most nights, I'm up researching things I've thought about from earlier on in the day, but sometimes I am too "tired" to care, so I focus on what I can do to just make it thru one afternoon or lesson my mental load. But, that's just me 🙂
