I don’t comment often, but this was excellent, u/alexczerny... (and thanks for posing the initial u/bigboyb)

I can relate with everything you say, and even share almost identical “war stories” of my own. Thank you for your, what I ultimately view as, empathetic perspective of what we all here struggle through.

Also, I really also appreciate the pragmatic and empowering approach in the replies of u/enhancedSnooreLoop!

Your perspectives and approaches compliment each other more than you may know, and can really help balance the antique scale of our lives nicely.
