Hello Torsten,

Many thanks for it.

Here is a quote from Freud what is characteristic of me unfortunately.

Freud Austrian Psychiatric told: "Neurosis is the inability to tolerate ambiguity".

I would like to love everybody and always admit that I am not infallible.

Many thanks for your goodwill !!!
