Thanks for the welcome Undetoad.
I know of the ancient Persian poet, philosopher Rumi, but no, I chose my name from the word ruminate and its definition. It is interesting though that it was his son who founded the Whirling Dervishes. And Rumi himself believed that dance helped one in making a spiritual connection with the Divine.
Since a teenager I have loved looking for the answers to the big questions in life and discussing them with people who can do it without getting all emotional in the process and start yelling.
Your Philosophy forum and the way everyone here discusses topics without wigging out is what actually prompted me to join this excellent community.
I'm not the type to jump in where I may not be wanted, so for the present I'm just letting everyone get to know me and I them.
I'm all too familiar with the other type who barge in and throw out a bunch of opinion and degrade threads to namecalling because I co-own and admin. the largest multi-fishing website here in Ohio.
Relationship is what is most important in life, I will say.
