ZED- I get what you're saying. Very good point. I've lost a lot of dear things in my life, yet some things not so dear. Some things I'm glad I've lost and going through the experiences of losing those unwanted or uneeeded things - has made me a more empathetic, complete, caring person - in my opinion. It's like a person will go two ways experiencing this $hit. It either makes a person more empathetic or they turn bitter into a complete a$$hole. It's almost like this : if we don't know HOW to lose things in life, we start unrealistically thinking we'll WIN all the time and that causes a warped sense of entitlement and narcissm thinking we are ENTITLED to always win. Something I've learned the hard way myself that is surely not true.
When I think of you my dear friend ZED - I have ALWAYS thought of a winner. Even when you or I have gone through down times, we bounce back like a rubber ball waiting for the next adventure life throws our way. And that can be the fun, unexpected turns in life that can propel us to the next thing. Sure there are down times but like Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson once said, " Nothing is Easy, your fingers may freeze, worse things happen at sea, there 's good times to be had. " Another great movie I always liked is " The Big Kahuna " with Kevin Spacey, Danny Devito in it where towards the end of the movie Danny Devito is telling a young religious fundy guy in his 20's that he hasn't built enough character in his life because he's never LOST anything before in life. So the young guy was lacking experience in HOW to lose important things- thus he lacked empathy and/or character which is usually built on lifes experiences good AND bad.
