Steven, have you heard of a guy losing his legs in an accident but then becoming "stronger"? Hope is not the case of our fellow here. Facts are that many things that are not strong enough to kill you, are strong enough to cripple you, to weak you, to make your life nasty or unworthy and then you continue living because inerce or neccesity in a weakened condition. A week ago two friends of my daughters killed in a automobile accident and I can tell you that the father, completely devastated, will not commit suicide just because one son is left. He, then was not killed, but he will not become stronger, but just a pitiful case of living because you are compelled to do so. Oh my God, this is a nasty issue, let it go... Fernando
