What an AHA moment !
What an AHA moment for me after reading this post. Suddenly, everything makes sense. I finally understand why I have felt «stretched thin» all my adult life, why I have difficulty making decisions, why at age 50 I got fed up with my job and quit (something I thought would never happen). And while I thought that I had lost all illusions about life (it pays to be good and do good, hard work will be rewarded, etc...), in fact what happened, I think, is that the «magical thinking» wasn’t working anymore.
