just frozen in time and ignoring what happened in the meantime°

I've been guilty of that too LanX, I'm sure others have too...

However, I think the difference is that I didn't so much ignore by choice but through true ignorance...
I do try to improve when presented with what seems like a better way. Usually - if it comes from the Monastery, what seems like a better way, is a better way.

like staring into the closet of my grandma...

You'll forgive me if I don't dwell on that thought for too long...
