Seedlings
Last month on Ask MetaFilter, jeremias asked:
Life-altering experiences. Can you point to a single experience in your life, as a child, which you can define as having contributed to the person you are today?
The result: one of the most engaging and interesting pages I’ve read on the Web. It’s quite a long thread, so don’t expect to digest it all at once…but it’s worth the read.
I don’t normally read Ask MeFi — I usually just skim through the MetaFilter XML feed. I happened to visit MeFi’s front page a few weeks ago; it had a link to the thread above (it still does). I happened to click on it, and I’m glad I did.
