Thanks for this thoughtful application of my words. Including typo. Ha. I do think there are certain challenges that can be approached in a counterproductive manner and a religious pilgrimage isnt in this category. But the rule still holds that learning how to do anything involves desiring better and usually hardship. Really inspiring to read about your love of hard work to the pt of not being able to sleep!
