Glanced quickly on the security and experience seekers. Didn't bother to read further on the the ideal and knowledge seeker. I am the experience seeker type, and it's so true that i find it challenging to stay in same place, with same people, and doing the same thing day after day. Also true that I don't ponder too much about the past.
