I think that it happens to us all on this muddy path, Rosie. No one is immune to the experience of being stuck. I think we all think, at first, that we are the only ones. That is frustrating. Some never realize that we all face this period in our lives, many times, where we cannot see our mistakes and are condemned to keep repeating them, until, by some happenstance, we wake up one day and are WISER about this particular sinkhole.
We all get stuck until we become conscious of being stuck.
