Hey my dear friend.... I haven't been commenting much lately for two reasons: 1. I am the choir-girl you're preaching to and 2. some of the "facts" you are adding up, do no longer add up for me.... leave the brains and totally connect to the guts... this is where all powers are and all wisdom gathers... ;-) Big hug and biggest Cheers... from the Seven Mountains in Germany <3

Not a problem. I warned (maybe not you, but somewhere on this platform) that this manuscript has alienated people from me. No biggie. It's designed to get people to think, not necessarily agree. Love you still. :)
what I am pointing at is that some of the "thinking" is leading in the wrong direction... it is worth thinking about it at first and then putting all the dices back into the box and shake it again... roll them out and look - with you guts - at what is behind the things you were thinking so far :-)
Not exactly sure what you are referring to. I know that people insist "go with your gut," but I've tested my intuition, my "gut" instincts, and they are invariably wrong, sometimes with disastrous results. I know it works for some people, but I have no faith in my gut to give me answers. We all have our own path to follow and more than one of them lead to the same destination.
I know that Germany is the birthplace of the work ethic and that Germans are perhaps the very best at manipulating the material world to their advantage. I see what you manage to accomplish with 4 kids and a hubby to take care of and I am in awe. I know it must give you great personal satisfaction and I'm happy for you.
My grandmother was German and my mother had had enough of that when she grew up, so she was a bit more lenient with me. I sort of took it to the next level.
She used to read me the fable of the grasshopper and the ant, a good parable for that work ethic. I understood it but after my father died and I grew up I began to think more deeply about it. Though the grasshopper had a short life, he got to play his whole life long. The ant had to work and store up food so he could live through the long winter in a hole in the ground, only to emerge in spring and work and work so he could survive another winter. It's not like the ant was going to live forever. He wasn't. Was the ant's long, arduous life really better than the grasshoppers short, leisurely life? The moral of that story didn't make much sense to me after that.
And that's the power of thought over the power of acceptance. I just want everyone to reconsider, that's all, not to adopt what I present here.
Be the one making the first step.... reconsider ;-) You lifted the first three or four curtains - but there are at least 24 more to be lifted... and some of them might challenge you to reconsider everything you so far consider THE TRUTH... The biggest danger we are to ourselves, is holding on to the tressuresome "knowledge" we gathered...
I'm sure I will continue to evolve. I don't hold on to much. Thanks
