Some great analog...I really like this post, Denny.<br /><br />Some great analogies.<br /><br />Really agree with the point you're making here. We stress the importance of 'practice makes perfect' in almost everything, why shouldn't we encourage our young to tackle adversity to prepare them for it later in life when the stakes are higher?<br /><br />I would expect those with a psychology background to take issue with your suggestion that adversity in their youth would have better prepared some people for war and possible avoid PTSD but I appreciate that you are using this to explain the basis of the conversation with your friend.Craig Hugheshttp://craigahughes.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
