Hi again AlwaysChanging2: I wanted to add a thought here. Actually, I was mulling over your post yesterday evening. What occurred to me was that it wasn't all that many years ago sacrificing oneself for the sake of one's family, subjugating one's personal desires for the benefit of others, was considered the noble thing to do. Nowadays it seems the culture has "evolved" (?) to a point where not being willing to lay waste to everything & everyone in one's life in pursuit of one's own personal fulfillment is seen as something for which one must apologize. I have to say I question to what extent that could be considered to be progress...
