I have a chronic illness that has sidelined me and I recognize that the steps you mention are the same for those who are chronically ill. Acceptance and reaching out can be difficult but isolation is worse. Annie Kate Alabama Thank you for the name of your book and for a wonderfully written post.

If that be the case, then as the old dirge goes - " pack up the babies and grab the old ladies and everyone goes!!". The minority fighting the battle [ and forgotten mostly!!] should not have to bear the load!! The battles should be taken no matter where they lead or end up!! Vietnam proved that you don't tie a military to a specific region or country and you use all the ordinance no matter what the collateral cost!!! Otherwise leave!! Jerry: – "We are at war".

It is inspiring to hear how you channeled your experiences into a lifetime of caring and giving. I couldn’t have said it any better. Also, there are people who are fortunate to not have had to go through intense trauma that Jerry described. The world longs for your empathy as well and is very much in need of your help in any form, whether it’s time, talent, or treasure. The world needs you now more than ever.

It seems that most people are in it for themselves and could care less to help anyone else. We have become the "it's all about me" generation. And if the problems don't have anything to do with you then it doesn't matter, it is over looked. We have to get out of that state and get back into reality. Too many atrocities are going on today that should be stopped. But because we only care about ourselves we don't put enough pressure on others to stop the stealing, killing or wars. So we let it all rage on, unstopped around us. When will we ever learn that you have to stand up and be heard to make a difference in this world and that the world doesn't just revolve around you? It's not up to a chosen few to change things. It is up to us all. So we all need to roll up our sleeves and get busy. Cindy...Ga.

It is a very sad statement that violence is a man-made disaster. If society could just evolve and relate to one another in a civilized manner, maybe we could put violence on the list of obsolete things. Refuah Shelemah - Complete healing Very nicely written.
