Hmm... it takes some people years to be ready. Unfortunately, for them, |
12 |
ready happens in its own time, and can't be rushed to any visible |
13 |
effect. Fortunately, those same folks tend to stick around equally long, |
14 |
and often see generations of others come and go. |

So don't get too discouraged over it. OTOH, having some of those faster |
17 |
evolving generations to help in the mean time helps with the load, and |
18 |
unfortunately as you said, that hasn't happened here either. |
