Actually, I still don't have time. But come on, I'm on vacation now hahaha. How are you, btw?
I pretty bored myself all the time haha. I haven't found a fic worthy of my attention yet other than the one you suggested.
They actually call me the one-man army because of that haha.
Curiosity is the fitting word here. Well yeah you can put it as philosophical, but I think about things logically. Take for example, you help your friend with his/her situation. Instead of saying the general idea about how he/she must cope with it (which in fact helps in no way), you analyze the situation, use you own experience if necessary, consider the smallest of things, then there you can devise you own understanding.
