Dear Alexandra:
Thank you for the shout. I appreciate it. I do want to correct one thought though: I am not here selflessly. Not selflessly at all. I am here to learn, to help myself. I am motivated to help others as well but I am aware of how little help I can provide.
I am very humble, extremely humble, really, regarding the help I can provide here, or anywhere. The reason I am so humble is because as I suggest things here, I know that I cannot reach out an invisible arm into the screen and touch the brain of the one reading my input, and make his/ her anxiety and distress go away forevermore.
Unfortunately, I cannot do it in person, when the person is in front of me. I can suggest all I want, be as insightful as can be, point to things not considered before, but I can do nothing about the anxiety. It is the anxiety that drives people to not act effectively, not lack of intelligence.
Again, thank you Alexandra.
