Well said Saydrah. I enjoyed reading your response and tend to agree with most all you wrote. I have a really hard time tolerating self-pity of this sort.Human beings have evolved over thousands of years to tend to hope for something greater when experiencing something less than satisfactory. The quest for enlightenment and the challenge of making do simply with the gift of being alive is probably older than our species. Neanderthals probably sat around the fire asking if they were really a great hunter, or if wife just told them so to make them get out of cave and hunt more.
