The other part to think about is that nothing is 100% proof. Evidence is strictly an indictaor of probable outcomes. The only thing is that is absolute about the outcome of an experiment is that one experiment in that one situation.

Science, physics, et. al. is not absolute, for variables abound in this world. And that to me makes life interesting (and sometimes annoying).

And back to the original question...

One never gets "over" something, you just do your best to move past it. IMO, every experience in your life - great and small, good and bad - and more particularly how you react to it and how you let it affect your lfe (strong believer in free will) shapes who you are. I cannot control what happens to me in my life, but I can control how I react to it and how I allow it to affect me.

My boss is a complete imbecile. I have been allowing his behavior to negatively affect me most of the week and I have been very combative with him. Yesterday, I made the concious decision to NOT get angry. This was much more challenging than the previous days of the week, but far less emotionally draining.

One last comment: children are much smarter and much more perceptive than society tends to give them credit for.
