When push comes to shove, stuff IS stuff. I struggled to learn that. And what is most important in life is often intangible, like the love of your children, being the best dad you can be, becoming the man you're meant to be, having your health. Most things that are taken for granted.
You're not alone.
Sound wisdom.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
