   lion of judah, you make the common mistake of conflating 'emotional   
   response' and 'attitude'.  you are evidently heavily into magical thinking   
   as well.   
   ponder this: all the wonderful attitude in the world won't save you from   
   experiencing immediate pain if someone takes from you all you love.  you can   
   pretend all you like that you can change your emotional responses by   
   changing your attitude, but believe it; when there is loss, there is pain.   
   yes you mean well, but you are irritatingly self-righteous, and i DID say i   
   didn't require a response.  that was because i anticipated someone of   
   limited perspective might make the kind of remark you started out by making.   
   your later comment didn't repair the damage the first caused.   
   it was enough just to be aware of those reading my post who didn't reply   
   with unwanted advice, but who understood, or responded with accounts of   
   their own experiences.
