Gonna Get Me A Mojo Hand

[AlexEN]

Mathematically-inclined as I am , I had forgotten about that book...

I think about cheese whenever Johnson's name comes up, but two other parables from that book are worth mentioning too...

The first one, which sounds a lot like the message that @Coach or @ForestGump consistently set forth, is... The path out of a valley appears when you choose to see things differently.

And, profound in its simplicity, a lesson we are all learning...
The pain in a valley can wake you up to a truth you have been ignoring.

...as it appears almost universally that each of us has realized our own "flaws" have contributed, at least in part, and not to condone the WAS's behavior, to the situations in which we now find ourselves...

Once we're awakened to that truth and DO choose to see things differently, we can leave the valley on our own...
