Smile,
That is very insightful, and rings true.
Tikkun,
You mention benefits of being FFB. That is no doubt true. Being FFB gives you the background to be able to maneuver uncharted situations much better, since there he was brought up with the big picture.
However, the point is that while an FFB is luckier, a BT/Ger is more awe inspiring.
Thanks for answering my question. The idea of ‘feeling right’ seems to be when many small, subtle, things fall into place, so you get that ‘click’ from all around. The difference between navigating an area based on instructions and navigating an area that you recognize is that in the latter, although you might not be able to point to specific landmarks, you have many small insignificant points that together are much more that landmarks.
Here too, a proof here and a proof there doesn’t come close to every small thing falling into place.
Having said that, it’s for a person to rationalize a life changing decision without being able to point to solid specific reasons.
