You are not alone. I know many experts in this field that feel that there are eggs on my face. I feel they are being cheated. They tell a lie. We want to make a change in the world, but the power is too big.

When I worked at the community mental health center I carefully studied my life and I realized that I was no longer ready for this kind of work. In fact, I do not know if this type of work is powerful enough. I am leaning toward those who can use it for a long time.

Thank you for telling me some of these difficult things. I am glad to see other people have similar ideas
