I wasn't trying to define SQ's experience or etc, or say that SQ is
hiding something "grand" from himself. I'm just homing in on his
statement "My life is such a beautiful thing that I doubt I could
carry bitterness." because I don't think *anybodies* life could be
that beautiful. So I *think* that in saying so SQ is hiding something
from himself.

Nothing more than that, in this instance, tho' there are other issues
between SQ and myself, that's for certain.
