"View my sketchy, bare-bones, blurry, limited, veiled and incomplete, profile",

"View my complete profile", it says. In reality it's a bit of a joke.

As usual there are the set boxes to fill in, provided you do it completely within 1200 words, or whatever. There is no place to list my dis-interests and dis-likes, for example, for what I don't like says as much about me as my likes. Besides, who is or who can complete such a completeness? Completely no one, I would suggest, for we are such complex persons, with much more to who we are than what can be said in a few lines. Try, "View my sketchy, bare-bones, blurry, limited, veiled and incomplete, profile", instead.

Who are we?
From where did we come?
Where are we going?
What is our future?
In whom do we put our trust?

They are the big questions, in my view.
So, if we have to have boxes to fill in, why not those questions as prompts?

There.. that's my rant for the moment.
