I can see that point too. Most of the time you can tell if someone's evolving by the way he/she writes. You can also tell when he/she starts helping other people whether or not that person has worked through things and is now ready to give back or just let all of this become an addiction. Where would we all be without the profound experiences of those before us to help us through??? I am SO glad they've stuck around!
I know you probably aren't talking about those types: just wanted to add that! :-)
