This made me laugh, because recently I hired a new admin person and after working with me for a month or so she commented that she noticed a lot of "scar tissue" in me from operating my business for nearly 30 years. I said yes you're correct but I do my best to always be healing past traumas as not to "seize up." Now that she has seen what's entailed, she understands much better the reasoning behind my scars. Our society is so dysfunctional and it makes operating a business incredibly hard. I really resonate with what you're doing with these articles.
This filled me right up today, not because I want you to face societal dysfunction, of course, but because you see the value in your scars and in persevering despite the pain. I worry about new generations shedding virtue in favor of convenience or withdrawal from reality. You definitely get it. I hope that future civilizations (which will include my kids) see the need always to practice the virtues.

For sure it is a challenging time to be teaching virtue to the younger generations but imperative non the less.
