@Ren_in_black i can entirely sympathise, I do very similar things. I also tend to avoid conflict, although I’m not above a witty rejoinder if one happens to surface in the moment. Luckily these kinds of things are very rare for me, and so I don’t worry too much about the cortisol.

They used to teach handwriting when I was in Primary school but as with so many other apparently dispensable skills, it fell by the wayside and was taken off the curriculum.

Ah ha! Defining the indefinable. Welcome to the impossible. 
Nagarjuna's line, "Samsara does not have the slightest distinction from Nirvana. Nirvana does not have the slightest distinction from Samsara" (Verses from the Center, 25:19).
I knew it! However only the Nirvanic are distinguished.
Great post @Jason. Many thanks.
