In my youth I wondered if I were allergic to life. With many of my allergies now history, as I am much closer to end than beginning, I find I am more in love with life. Perhaps that is the answer. “Love away your allergies”? When sneezing due to pollen, it is difficult to really love pollen. Maybe my body just grew tired of sneezing and wheezing. Am I now less empathetic? I don’t think so. Even more now, so ???
