Not too sure if that is the case but it seems a reasonable assumption.
I remember about 35 years ago
:
I considered myself to have been the victim
of a social affront. I was silently indignant,
pretending to have taken no notice thereof.
After I had a really
WONDERFUL meal of Italian pasta,
with terrific meat n sauce, I felt
dramaticly better, and quick.
The change in my emotional state-of-mind was so abrupt
( for the better ) that contrasting before n after the meal,
I cud not help but deem my improvement to be related to my ingestion of the said meal.
I pondered the theory that whereas I had deemed my surly mood
to have had its origin in the failure of others' diplomacy,
in fact, I had been suffering from low blood sugar that miscolored my outlook.
I learned something from that.
Wise is he who learns from his mistakes,
but
WISER is he who learns from the mistakes of others.
