*chokes back catty "way to miss the point, both of you" response*

I didn't take it that way. It more made the "people are the sum total of their experiences" bits of my head light up. I think I see it in the same family as "that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger" thereby making Sharon Tate inapplicable.)

Also, I don't exactly believe in God, but amazingly this doesn't hamper my ability to pull some kind of meaning out of an ostensibly religious statement.
