I get that - I agree with you - the value I have gotten from backstitching tho is better integrity of beliefs.  Now I have to say good enough and do a bit of running stitch.  I do recognise that.

It's already starting to happen, it's fun.

imo thousands of years ago the idea of god was exploded by the idea that there is one god and a bit of him in everyone.  well we all love our god don't we and if he's in everyone we should be loving everyone and we can't.  good grief.  integrity of soul smashed to pieces.

so we are asking questions a few thousand years later trying to work out what happened to our souls.

(okay don't take that entirely seriously)
