OR,
You've offered some very profound posts in recent days, along with these asking somebody to help you contain your profile.
I wonder if this profound public dialogue is unusual for you. Sometimes, if we are conditioned to keep our profile small, and some great event inflates our public image, our biological alarm system starts ringing. It kind be like the feeling one gets standing beside a high precipice - fear and excitement.
The feeling is uncomfortable for me, sometimes. It's like when a big truck is passing me in traffic and I have to keep driving but the forces at play are so potentially dangerous, that voice inside says, "I wish I was parked in a rest stop." The other fear I suffer when offering ideas publicly is that after offering one useful idea, my next one might be a flop. Fear of rejection or impending conflict can tarnish my confidence.
I hope you find a meaningful way to integrate the dialogue you are developing here.
