My initial reaction is that if there are many people out there who have led life that made them prepared to have an opinion on these issues with firm conviction (enough to advise others) and clarity. Aren’t we learning until the day we die? Can we be sure about things that are still ongoing (parenting, taking care of health, etc……and most of all, being happy)?
