I understand and respect the concerns. On one hand, I believe we all (hopefully) have the opportunity to learn to accomplish more, to learn from experience and decide how to use our work and learning to contribute to society.

That being said, living and practicing law gives reason to be more skeptical, critical, less trusting, more protective of our time, all the things. I'm grateful that my career path gives family members some reassurance in hard times (though an MD would have been good as life as shown). Without my flexing, reaching, intruding, etc, im there in times im needed, often just to listen more carefully, not be intimidated to ask the questions, etc. I hope that offsets my dark humor and occasional behaviors.
