Thank you, that makes so much sense.
I sometimes have a Pollyanna view of the world. If the right thing is done everything falls into place and life rolls happily along for the person doing the right thing. Which, as shown in your post, is rarely the way things work with something like this.
Also I meant no disrespect with the monolog. My family is from the deep south. At least one extended family member would say something similar, excluding anything court related.
