That's for sure:

<It is very tricky and requires a lot of mental, emotional, spiritual and Physical (Health)l balance... for those who take overseas assignments.... >

I didn't mean to be cavalier but I can see you'd think so. Your description of the social context of being moved around the world is spot on. That was a serious problem and we bailed out when our oldest was 12, but there had already been sadness for various of our children from various moves and we were all in tears leaving Antwerp.

I had always been aware of the problem and asked many people about their experiences being moved. About half loved it and about half hated it. We were aware that as children get older, they are less family oriented and more integrating with the local community, which is why we refused the next move although the job offered was exactly what I would have loved to do.

It's hard to know how much damage is being done compared with how many advantages are being gained. Even as children, exploration is fun. I did lots of it myself from when my legs would carry me. It's dangerous too, but look at our genetic backgrounds and you'll see how far and wide our DNA spreads and that was when people had to walk to the next town.

Women's DNA spreads far wider than men's, which I suppose is due to men ganging together for genocidal conflict while women hop the fence to the neighbouring tribe for mating purposes.

You did indeed cause a logic loop reversal but moves were still easy. So I'll stake out take both positions simultaneously [moves are easy and hard]: < the art of being able to run people around in circles by setting up logic loops and having them stake out a position and then immediately taking the opposite position and see how quickly they can go through the chain of logic and lateral thinking.... >

Hi Maurice, You are a very astute, articulate and wise man...... As you say, moving especially long distances.. and into different cultures can really make an impact on the continuity of one's life and their closeness with their relatives and dear friends.... Today it is so much easier than 15 years ago... 20 and 25 years ago it was really tough...... You always have some of the more insightful and missives that really show a deep appreciation for the human condition and demonstrate wisdom.... Thanks for sharing, John
