Ron, I hear you loud and clear. Perhaps everyone here does understand this to some degree or another, and it is a perspective that even some here may not have experienced. And either way, it is another opportunity for empathy and unity. I have a family member who is soon to hit that realization due to a rare genetic disease that all-of-a-sudden materialized and changed her world. I'm sure there are many here who will have loved ones with similar stories. You are right, this is very real.

On a positive note, this person and many like them are waking up. They will awaken others in less dire situations than themselves. Could be what they came here for. And not only that, this admittedly naive person FOUND THE BOARDS. Think about that one. 👊
