I know your compulsion but what is mine. Thank you for being so brave as to write it. There is no
better feedback one can receive that will also help to improve focus
than to be reminded of the stakes on such a personal level.
Yes, there are those in the profession who are not only hardly adequate to the task, but moreover wield cruelty and authority as a teaching mechanism. They imagine that without their authority all will be chaos but fail to recognize the chaos they create with such cruelty.
It is you who deserve thanks for the privilege and joy. You justify a belief in empathy and understanding with your words. The least one can do now is to strive to be worthy of those words.
May your presence continue to bring joy to yourself and others.
