Richard Bushman saying it aloud

This discussion gives a good example of what cuts pretty much to the heart of some of my quandary mentioned in my introduction. Sounds like there is a lot of paradigm shifting going on by a lot of you, which I experience as well. It is good to see how you all handle it, and I hope to learn from you. I worry about giving up so much that I suddenly find myself without foundation, but I don’t see that in this thread. In the past I have been pretty quick to retreat to the mantra, “Well, I’m sure when we know the whole story, it’ll all make sense”, but a lot of times that isn’t enough. I thank you for your examples.

One thing that puzzles me a little is that some of the discussion seems to appear out of chronological order, though not out of logical order. Maybe that was a false impression, and I’ll pay more attention in the future.

Regards

Sometimes in these threads, we reference things from previous comments that hit us at the time – so there can be a bit of whiplash in some threads (or a feeling of reading multiple discussions simultaneously in one thread.

I don’t know if that is what you mean, but it does happen occasionally.
