I think that the older demographic here makes a lot of sense. I'm quite young, myself, but I only came to terms with the fact that I was hurting, because my parents had been out of my life for a while, and I am in a very loving, supportive relationship. I had a lot of time to step back, and put things in perspective. Most people in their 20s seem to be too busy and impatient for true self-reflection. I even get caught up in it sometimes. School, work, party, game, eat, sleep, seems to be the usual in my peer group. It's not until that existential dread sets in, that "what am I doing with my life?" moment, that a lot of people really sit back, and examine their lives.
I'm really glad we have such a diverse demographic here. I really value the chance to listen to the wisdom and perspectives of so many different people, all working together, peacefully, toward the same goal. I'd say it's quite a step forward for everyone involved. I really like it here; this is a perfect place for growing and healing as a human being. I'm a very pacifistic person, and just knowing this place exists does my (oft-ignored) spiritual side some good.
