So much of my behavior is reactive. Learning to put the breaks on it is harder than I imagined, but is worth it in peace of mind alone.
I *am* so blessed, and every bad thing that happens really *is* an opportunity. Hearing it told to you by well-wishers and do-gooders all your life doesn't teach you. Experience and cogent explanations -can- teach you, but they don't -have- to. So I am doubly blessed in that regard, beacause somehow I woke up, and somehow I've learned something.
