Thanks Cadet,

I think there are a few universal things we are to learn throughout our lives and you hit on one:

Be kind to youself!

Another universal gift is forgiveness. This is a tough one but well worth the effort. If there is a magic bullet for your soul this is it.

If anyone has read the peacful warrior, Soc one of the main characters 3 laws of the world are Paradox, humor and change and these things if understood are the keys.

Its funny with this MLC that it couldn't be more true.
Things change constantly, what you think is, is really not - paradox. and humor can get you through if you can keep yours in the face of this crises.
