I apologize for coming across "self-righteous," "judgmental," and "pompous," this definitely was not my intentions. I firmly agree with you that people are at different areas in their life. My comments were more turned on myself than on anyone else. I have seen myself stagnate in my pursuit for truth and realize the grave danger of doing so. I also do recognize that in religion many others, like myself, have come to a complacent point in their truth. The great hero of wisdom recognizes their complacency and morphs. The real tragedy is when people falsely assume that they have reached the end of truth, and to believe truth can really be that shallow! I hope this comment helps to tone down a bit of my arrogance, and I sincerely appreciate you calling me on it. ~Paul W. @Cris- Thank you for your comment.

Everybody is on a different road and you don't get to decide what road they're on and if they are pushing or not. Besides, what some people consider pushing forward, may look like a long coasting ride to you. Yes, there are some people who definitely find a way to coast through life. Others never figure it out and don't care if they do. Some find it and the finding it is enough. Others may find it and push hard to discover more. No one is the same. One minute of life, you could be lackadaisical, the next minute of life, something profound can change you and you will never be lackadaisical again. No one, or at least a very few, stay the same, and for you to assume that they do, is a little pompous. It's rather obvious, but I am not the same as I was 20 years ago, 8 years, or even 5 minutes ago. Many of the changes are for good, yet there are few that are not. Sorry for the long opinion.
