Thanks man. I find that not many people notice these kinds of philosophical musings, at least in the stuff that I've made, so it's great to hear from someone who did. I've been reading a text by the Dalai Llama recently, so you can see where a lot of the ideas came from. It's always been a great aspiration of mine to have someone really dig into and analyse one of my creations, so thanks for fulfilling that for me.
As for the groundedness of the writing, in the end it really came down to time. Coming back to it, I would spend a lot more time thinking about the writing tweaking it to be much less pretentious.
