I'd love to have a longer discussion on this, but must plead for a recess. I'm currently in the middle of a course in Neuroscience and Leadership and must focus. This has also taken away from my writing...

One more quick point: you refer to "good" things and "bad" things happening. Personally, my belief is that things just happen. We are prone to giving them a label as "right, wrong, bad or good" depending on our perspective.

Would love to engage further, at a later date.
