By request
"May we always arrive at truth in the context of love"
Request: This is a comment that was posted on that database, what does this blessing calibrate at?
fear of walking on the street at night
Obviously at the level of fear, on average. However, the range is interesting.
Aragorn (fictional character)
"a protagonist in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Aragorn was a Ranger of the North, first introduced with the name Strider and later revealed to be the heir of Isildur, an ancient King of Arnor and Gondor" -- wikipedia.
This Little Light of Mine
Request: This is a well known children's lullaby with some interesting history to it. The initial verse sometimes comes into my head at moments unexpectedly when I'm considering or confronted with certain issues in life, almost to become something like a mantra.

Albert Einstein
German-born theoretical physicist who is widely held to be one of the greatest and most influential scientists of all time -- wikipedia.
Taxi Driver (1976)
The 360 calibration in TvF must refer only to the all-too-brief denouement in which acceptance is the surprise ending. The rest of the movie is brooding, seedy, increasingly dark, and at the climax shockingly violent.
statement: all fantasies are non-integrous
Request: I often find myself oohed and awed in fantasy, before grounding myself and returning to center. Are any of them integrous?
