Curiously I am finding the opposite is true for me right now. I used to pretty bloody sure of my point of view. Part of that was a feeling of being forty something and by gosh I have something to say. In retrospect, mostly all I had to say was, "By gosh I am forty something and I have something to say". No real content just a belligerent desire for people to agree with me.
Now I see everyone is on their own path. I cannot make anyone see a truth that they are not ready too see. I like your feisty posts LaFemme, but you are right there is a difference between response and reaction. SR is not the place for arguments. Support, sharing and listening is the best this forum has to offer.
