In one of the versions of this poll, I had 20% and 10%, but some confusion over how the Poll Creator applet worked zapped them out and I forgot to stick them back in.
I do think showing up -- where you choose to go, where you end up -- is a big part of life. Maybe not half. I keep thinking of one person that I see every year at local cons, but I never see him talking to anyone, or even standing in a conversation circle to listen. He's there, but he doesn't really seem to be there.
Exactly, and that's where the "paying attention" part comes in and becomes important. =) Even if you're not taking initiative or action, if you're paying attention then at least you're learning something. And all the better for wisdom if you decide to take action and initiative and make a fool of yourself, learning even greater lessons as well. ;D
