So Gary yes, I have had great successes with people helping them in their lives by knowing these things and thus knowing what's missing.

Love.

I have was going to come back on this.......but there is no common ground. I would suggest you try teaching for a year in a classroom of 32 seven year olds, 10 of which act out or have other behavior problems, many who come from single parent homes, maybe live in motels or in small apartments with three generations of family, maybe 4 of which have parents that can't communicate directly with you because of language barriers, have one or more parents in jail or on drugs....this is a common distribution....now this a place where your direct presence and approach could have amazing results......

Let me know how it goes......
