I can not help anyone feel any better about this. I may be able to offer a point of view that will allow an “opening” for one to deal better with the way things ARE---or at least accept the way things are. If I take a nice 6” diameter balloon and blow it up to 6” in diameter, I end up with a nice 6” balloon. Now let’s take that same balloon and blow it up with a lot of “hot-air” to 12” in diameter. What I then have is an over-inflated 6” balloon----but nonetheless still a 6” balloon. Who is responsible for the misperception that it is a 12” balloon? I think the same person that now realizes that it is actually just a 6” balloon after all, is the same person that was responsible for the illusion/delusion in the first place. If even a regular old fashioned 6” diameter balloon is vulnerable to the pins and needles of life, what are we to think of 12” diameter balloons? And who put the hydrogen in it anyway? POP!
There is a lot of talk about the gazilliontrillion dollars of value that we all have lost since the balloon burst----which translates into things not being worth what they used to be worth.
