Subject: Ed's Present Behaviour

Content-Disposition: Inline
Having just returned from a recent trip
with the airline and reviewing the "mail",
I find someone finally got tired of "just
brits" and his abusive manner.
I know "stress" when I see it and won't
"bite" back as there is normally a damn
good reason for the other fellow's obvious
anti-social behaviour and besides, I don't
take this stuff personally; I know where I
am "coming from" and realize it's the
"other fellow's" problem.
But, I am also glad that Paul A. was kind
enough to "explain" the reason for the
obvious (to me, anyway) "displaced"
anger this fellow feels towards the world
in general. I've BTDT in my earlier days
before I "grew up" and learned to share
both good and bad times with others,
without "beating up" on others when things weren't going my way.
While I am sorry for your recent misfortunes Ed, and hope your dear wife
is recovering from her horrible event, you
too must recover as well, emotionally
and most of all, in spirit.
I know from what I speak as my wife to
be was killed in an auto accident just
prior to our wedding day.
It took me about two years to truly get
back up on my feet and if it were not for
my profession and deep love of same
(along with a group of good buddies!)
I am not so sure what the outcome of this
event might have been, otherwise.
Truly, this event blew me away (and,
believe me, I had thoughts along this
line temporarily. Totally normal under
the circumstances).
In your case, probable loss of income
while bills pile up just adds coal to the
fire, making recovery more difficult.
There is a saying that what doesn't
kill you (emotionally and in spirit), will
make you stronger. There is more than
a little truth in this.
You say you know how to operate
aircraft? You are a pilot? Fine!
How 'bout "transfering the discipline"
of the cockpit into your personal life?
Because, personally, you are going through a "thunderstorm", my friend.
Berating and jumping on your "fellow crew members" over this temporary
misfortune
won't help the situation.
Calm yourself; "avigate and navigate"
to the extent required to successfully
traverse this temporary "turbulence"
with little, if any, damage to your
"aircraft" and those within AND those
around you! Hand in there, you'll
eventually fly out of it!
