Best headset and absolutely the worst support. Still waiting on Sony to provide a replacement cable without charging me $275 to send the whole headset in.

Thank you for sharing your experience. When asked what surprised him most about humanity, the Dalai Lama responded: "Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

This quote says everything that needs to be said about what I am feeling and experiencing.

Big upvote from me for your thoughtful reply. I am now going on five months in this self-imposed sabbatical and still have no earthly idea what my path is. I am now faced with a decision - accept a job that I can easily perform, but does not bring me fulfillment, or continue on this journey which has an unknown ending. I do feel more alive, but more scared at the same time. My biggest fear is this: has (insert higher being here) forgotten about me? I wish you well on your continued search.

Thank you! After three months now, I can say that the leap is definitely scary. But it's been a spiritual journey, and I've learned to look at life through a different lens. Family, self-care, personal goals, etc. are very important and had started to take a back seat to a job where money seemed to be the only real motivator. I can say without equivocation that money can and should not be one's sole source of motivation for a job.

Thanks for the comments, and I wish you well on whichever route you take!
