Thank you very much for the compliment.
I'm glad you like the revelation of my thought process, I find it a good way to make something obvious that a reader wouldn't otherwise know how I got to.

Yes, interesting, isn't it? One usually starts with a difficulty of oneself that one has become aware of or because it is increasingly brought to one's attention by others. That "too much of the same" can be destructive is something pretty much everyone knows, but how to get there, to identify a maturing direction for yourself, is not easy if you can't follow a path.

The results, if you follow the method strictly, turn out differently than if you immediately do a juxtaposition of opposites, don't you? If I just think of the opposite of rage, I might think it would be joy, wouldn't I? So, to avoid this habit of quick mental jumping and perhaps jumping to conclusions, I think the method is interesting.

Thank you for inviting me to finish your story, I don't know yet. I'll have a look at it. When the muse comes, I welcome her:)
