thank you, zrx1200R - (I also love Heinlein, and your signature quote.)
That stuff about the emotional immune system and not just following your heart - powerful! Impactful!
I liked it so much, I linked over - thanks for the link - WOW that's a lot of information to take in, all of it enlightening!

I want to share a couple quotes from Merlin on love, from the movie Excalibur:
Merlin: Now look, I once stood exposed to the Dragon's Breath so that a man could lie one night with a woman. It took me nine moons to recover. And all for this lunacy called, "love, " this mad distemper that strikes down both beggar and king. Never again. Never.
Merlin: You're not listening... well, your heart is not. Love is deaf as well as blind. That's it.
Merlin: Looking at the cake is like looking at the future; until you've tasted it, what do you really know? And then, of course, it's too late.
[Arthur takes a bite]
Merlin: Too late.
