i didnt say it's just as easy

i said the strategy and method is the same. so knowing immediately after the incident, is better than knowing later.

like i said, awareness. and KNOWING is important. regardless of time. because at the end of the day, you have to walk that path.

it's like saying you'd rather start looking for a map when you're already lost, rather than having a map just as you start the journey. you don't have to look at the map, but it's always good to have it and know how to use it and how it works BEFORE you head out on your quest. all it does is reduce your risk of getting more fucked up.

and yes, you can flip a switch and move on. maybe not if it's your first time. but if it's happened to you before. and it's happened again. i can gaurentee you, you'll try to reduce the time of your greiving the second, or third etc... time it happens to you again.

and for a small percentage, they are able to run the scenarios in their head so that they can do it the first time it happens to them.
not everyone needs to learn by pain. some people can learn by forcing themselves to do what hurts before it happens.

like hondaracers dad said, he'd say RIP to his own son after 2 days. he says that, but he might not feel it, but at least it's already in his mind, half molded, and he just has to believe it a little more. whereas the rest of you, the idea isn't even implanted in your heads. and good luck trying to implant that idea into your head AFTER the incident. you are totally unprepared mentally. and there's no way you can adapt when you're emotionally distraught.

that's all im saying. and for whatever reason, only a small number of people can understand it.

i'm not the type of asshole that would say "fuck it, they don't get it, fuck them, im better than them, so i'll just walk away and IGNORE them!"

I will keep lecturing. whether you wanna listen or not. cuz i know someone is listening, and it will benefit someone. and if i can benefit those who listen, that's good enough for me.
