Hello everyone, thanks for the warm responses. I have to say that you are all a marvel for deciding to free yourselves from other mindsets. I read recently in the Tao, "When a person is sick of sickness, then he is no longer sick." I decided similarly that when you are tired of others calling the shots for your life, then it is time to call them for yourselves. I still hold to my own axiom, I had to leave the truth in order to learn the truth. Okay boys and girls, unlock more prison cells... lol papacreel
