Personal example
When I got the cancer diagnosis on December 28, 2007 (but who remembers) I immediately switched gears to STOIC. I never once was frightened or angry or worried. I never cried or said "why me woe is me". I don't know why but that is precisely how I got through it with flying colors.
Well I just switched gears on Dondonjohn and his antics to STOIC. He is just another form of cancer but I didn't react well nor did I recognize what he is and so I have wasted my emotion for several years on a diagnosis that should have been of no consequence to me at all emotionally. But I took the bait to my great regret.
So here's the question. Why did I do the right thing IMMEDIATELY vis a vis my cancer diagnosis but did exactly the wrong thing vis a vis Dondonjohn? Human imperfection/stupid dumb BITES.
