Thanks very much. I suspect that my ability to develop a perspective like yours may have been influenced by a traumatic experience when I was 3 and felt abandoned by my mother and terrified in the hospital. But that trauma has, thankfully, been successfully "treated" -- re-experienced and integrated consciously -- so I suspect I can move forward. Better late than never, thanks for your perspective as another possibility to consider.
