    Hehe, isn’t it fun that we know nothing? Well, whether it is or not, that’s just the way it is, so we adapt - it’s what we are good at, and all that could ever possibly be done regardless:-P.

    People that think (& act) as if their actions do not affect others do so as a result of that CHOICE to act exactly that way - just as those of us who do the opposite do as well. Facts may have little to nothing to do with that choice, except for some very few of us.

    As you said also about the choice to be mindful - which is a separate aspect of the choice but that too is also a (meta-?) choice! I feel like I know, somewhat, how to excercise, but I really have no clue how people maintain their mental health. All the more so when it goes beyond “maintenance mode” into actively trying to heal from past wounds. Nor would I trust any resource that said that it knew, unfortunately. e.g., churches say that they know… and who knows, maybe they do? Like people, it would vary according to the individual one.

    I do not know if I would say that I am “happy” with myself, but on the other hand I look at others who experience their own pains that are caused from the fruits of their own labors and… yeah, I see that. I often do not want to see that, but I do. I definitely see too much, yet also too little at the same time? As do we all.

    Well, I am glad that my problems are amusing to you then - sheesh! (/s, I know you know but to be abundantly clear!:-P)
