Sorry, I realize I didn't address the content of this short post when I shamelessly link dropped.
I would have probably felt the same concern at one point on my journey when for awhile I went from the cup half full to the cup half empty in my outlook. But I've returned to my natural state of being for the most part, and while I do not think it's a coincidence that this many like minded people were drawn here, I don't fear it.
In fact, I find it no coincidence that you wrote this on my one year anniversary. On that day I wrote what would be considered a vague introductory post, but what was extremely clear and is still vivid to me now was how I was certain that I found the gathering place of Tomorrow Land, the dreamers and inventors. Have we been profiled? Yeah, pretty sure that's a given. But that doesn't inspire fear, quite the opposite.
I'll put it this way. My daughter went through a phase where she became extremely fearful of the potential of demonic (not exactly in a biblical sense, more in just an overall evil sense) forces in this world. I told her, that even if that were true, than that would mean there would also be angelic forces. She wanted to know why I was so sure that good would always prevail over evil. I told her no matter how hard it tried, darkness would always be overcome by light. You can see it in a physical way, just shut yourself in a closet...then light a candle.
No matter what Scott, remember this- real light is within, and no on has the power to snuff that out except you. A great metaphor for that was the movie Braveheart. They took the love his life and tortured him to death--but he still won. The worst that could be done on this plane was done to him and his script still ended in victory.
