FOLLOW-UP:
"Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand."
Thank you everyone for chiming in with your high quality comments, I read and re-read them them all three time, and I thought about them as I was falling asleep, and as I woke up this morning.
Observation about the comments: they are all high quality, and well intentioned.
Observations about the discussion: I am not alone. I kind of knew it already. I wonder if the pervasiveness of my experience is actually wider and deeper than I/we though with greater and deeper ripple effects than we believe. A conspiracy theorist would state that it's not a bug in fabric of existence, but a feature in The Matrix, by The Matrix.
Observations about me: WOW! I have been meaning to post something similar for days now, and I procrastinated for about 2 weeks. I am glad I posted it.
I have been meaning to post this unpacking comment since last night, Anxiety got in the way.
I have a personal blog where I write about this stuff, I have an article I me related to this, that wants to come out, but I'm letting Anxiety win and I have been procrastinating for a month or so now.
TL;DR: This discussion added new levels of positive and active perspectives to my worldviews.
My Action Item: "Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand."
P.S.: Thank you for everyone who offered to be avail for me to reaching out, I'd love to but I am too chicken to do that, vulnerability scares the bejesus out of me.
