Balance is always good. I just wish more people "did" instead of yammering about it or complaining about it, lol.

That's good. We are all different and that's what makes the world go round. Of course we can learn from each other by discussing things. It's when the same things are pounded to death or entirely and unnecessarily descriptive that my eyes start to glaze over, lol.
I think I was misunderstood. What I meant was if it can explained in 250 words then it doesn't need to be dragged out in 1000 words as many of the true classics are.(of course those are random amounts) It can be discussed and we can all learn about others and empathy from reading but it doesn't need to be such a long drawn out story.
