Thanks and I have tried. I don't dismiss the need to do that self-exploration, but in posting it it becomes more about, look what I've overcome rather than any exploration of what's needed, or what could even be termed as progress.
Just as the idea of being colorblind felt like something I should be acknowledged for, which you know, regardless of whether its a good or bad or even important thing, kind of misses the entire point.
IF we believe there's a right and wrong way to live our lives, that there are distinction between being a good or bad person (even incrementally) then doing the right thing and being a good person shouldn't be expectant of a reward, they should be the default. Kind of like, no one expects a citizen citation for not speeding.
