Really beautifully said. Well done, I couldn't have said it better myself. If you've never studied stoicism, I would be very surprised.

Yep, I've read a little about it, and liked most of what I saw. Being chronically ill kind of sets you up to appreciate things like that, I don't think it would have made as much sense to me in my younger days.

That's an interesting thought, too; I feel very confident that if I met my younger self, that I could not possibly explain to him what I know now. It makes me wonder what my ever-older self could not explain to me today.

Bingo! And that's where my arrogance disappeared.
