But I do not see how Chuqui's article (to which Mark's is a followup), which is full of negative judgments, condemnations and implications that he is "better" than some of us, is going to help us move in that direction. For my part, the "emotional responsibility" discussion is over, as far as I'm concerned. I've said my piece enough times, so there won't be any more net postings from me on that subject. If someone insists on trying to make me look bad, I will answer by mail. I ask everyone else to do the same. Anyone is free to believe what they like. I can only close my piece by saying that I have improved my own experience of life greatly since I have admitted to being responsible for my experiences, and I believe others that are sufficiently open-minded in this area can do the same. But, they are free to go on believing that they can't if they choose to do so. Nothing wrong with that. Since I'm dropping out of the argument, they can even believe that they "won" the argument if they want to. But if one person out there someday is depressed, and then they say to themselves "maybe I don't have to feel depressed any more", and bring themselves out of it, it will all have been worth it. --Greg
