You may be right about that, and I've considered that possibility quite often. I think that some struggles or wounds are supposed to be there, to direct oneself towards something. In essence, an unconscious wound or struggle helps fulfill our purpose here. I know that is an odd way of viewing it, but I've always believed that. I don't know for sure if this applies to my "missing piece," but it is possible, and maybe likely.

Thank you for the PM. I just responded to you.
