Yet you took the trouble to create an avatar ... obviously, symbolism has some degree of importance to you, as it does to most people since the Cro-Magnons.
I know what a symbol is and generally recognize one when I see one.

Here, I'll quote myself except that I'm going to leave in all that pesky context that you seem to dislike:

Personally, I've never understood symbols. As far as I can tell, I don't have any (beyond utilitary ones). For example, I would never die over a piece of cloth and I think anyone who would is badly misguided...
I have an avatar so that people can, more easily, see which posts belong to me. It reveals a little something about my interests but does little beyond that. It doesn't hold any particular importance or meaning beyond its utility.

Obviously, I use symbols all the time but they don't mean anything to me beyond their literal symbolism.
