You continue to want to explain/justify/rationalize YOUR WAY. But your way hasn't WORKED. Go back and re-read your post about how many times you use the word "feel," as in "I feel _____ ." You are STILL making your overall strategy and individual tactics decisions based on your FEELINGS, and that's not a winning formula.
Are you doing better? I'm not so sure. I think intellectually you now know a ton more about all of this stuff than when you started, but as for your actions, you haven't really changed much. And even emotionally, these past 72-96 hours have been some of your toughest, by your own admission.
So again, I ask you . . . is your way working??? For YOU????
