cut off the quote to shorten the length of this post on the screen, but I'm responding to everything you said.
I've only recently decided I needed to take my fragmented understanding of different philosophies (and in particular ethics systems) and build a more comprehensive understanding. This was extremely helpful. It is probable that my understanding of what metaphysics is is still too far off and that what I was originally thinking is best described by a different word.
