Now that is a nice way of looking at things, I never really thought of thinking about it in that respect. Giving back to the world some of the knowledge that I have gained is an excellent way to build self confidence, to say to ones self, yeah, I know how to do that, let me help you learn. Similar to the all around aura of perlmonks. I should consider what I have done as a helpful thing, not look at it as my property and be greedy with it. I once thought that I was totally into this "open source" thing, but it looks like I have a long way to go before I even understand the true meaning behind it all. I can take something that I have done and show it to someone, but not feel comfortable with giving it to them, maybe because I don't realize that I may have made something to help them out, because I have never looked at in that respect. I have the concept down, now, the true trial will be thinking in that manner, wanting to give back, wanting to help, wanting knowledge to be shared, because with knowledge is power(not the M$ type of power, the personal kind), with power is happiness, and happiness is what will save this world.

Thanks for helping me open my mind artist, it was by chance that I saw this reply when I did I had no intention of coming to perlmonks, hit the wrong link on my bookmarks..
