Not to wax too philosophical, (lest it offend) but this "moving on" -- to
another list, another town, another spouse, another school etc. is not
much of a solution.  A popular reaction, true, but where does rebirth
come from but a craving to avoid the unpleasant and/or seek the pleasant?  I
know in my own life it has never been more than a temporary solution.
Everything keeps coming back -- including ourselves.  We must work harder
(what was that horse's name in Animal Farm?) to be kinder to, and more
importantly (I think) to be much more forbearing with others.

Best,
