or can we know, beyond pain,
the unity of “fair well!”

no its not….its like the first rule of energy “energy cannot be destroyed nor be created – but it changes from one form to another”…so rest assured – you shall be compensated 🙂
Fare thee well into new endeavors.
Thoughtful words. Fair well need not be a loss…
Kind regards

YES. Investing in all the right places is so important. Well done.
Farewell not as pain but farewell as gain.
