Wow, what an answer. I at first I thought the opening paragraph was an eye opener but as I read along it was an entirely good post.
Your insight made me think of FBI profilers. But it is a world you've been a part of on so many different levels.
To me it seems a life that's been a real chore at times, but at others, that yours has become a natural course of a life basically like any life, whatever it may be, that everyone on earth has to deal with, whatever their life may be. It is what it is. I am grateful for such a post.
Please correct me where I'm misguided.
