The more I hear about Truman Capote, the less I want to hear about Truman Capote.
I found him so repulsive in the series--hardly a redeeming quality. That goes to show how wonderful an actor Tom Hollander is.
Same.
Well said!
Depressing how many people here are insulting Babe Paley for her looks. In the 1940s she was considered one of the most beautiful women in the world, reading through the comments everyone simply wants to say she isn't beautiful. How harsh people are? No wonder so many women feel insecure.
Personality and style goes a long way in making a person seem attractive. I think there’s celebrities today who are considered beautiful because of their style- Blake Lively and Lady GaGa come to mind.
Haters gonna hate...she Bane was STUNNING & Commanding beautiful, graceful, elegant pressence...
I do think it’s odd.
She was gorgeous. I think her beauty was more than how she looked and dressed…She was a true lady. From all the things I’ve read about her, she just had a presence that was captivating. I think she must have been under enormous pressure all the time, she never really found the love she deserved, there are so few pictures of her where she really seems happy….but when she smiles, it is everything! Whoever said, “They don’t make them like Babe anymore,” was so right! 😢
@@monicanelson7499 It is interesting about her smiling, if you notice in the pictures she is always very self conscious about her mouth. I imagine it had a lot to do with the teeth and the fear that at the wrong moment they would fall out. I wanted so much to include more images of her smiling, sadly they just do not exist.
His stories about Ann Woodward, led directly to her suicide, I understand he had a tragic childhood, but the harm he caused other people was unforgivable. Horrible man.
I agree with you. I am going to cover this in the next video. Capote had just finished 'In Cold Blood' and he was looking for his next True Crime novel, and what he did to Woodward was absolutely hideous.
Yes
WOW! Can't wait for the next video. The melding of "In Cold Blood" , which was true and meticulously researched juxtaposed against a personal vendetta bereft of provable "facts" will be enthralling, no doubt! And you've got the literary chops and narrator skills to really do it up. P.S.Regarding Babe... the inordinate strength she showed at the end of her life in many ways defined her. Practically eshuing her husband and Capote. It so reminds me of Shaw's Candida, from his play of the same name. When she is practically cornered at the end of the show by her minister husband and the young poet,Marchbanks,who is also vying for her love... they try to force her to make a choice! And Candida pauses and says, "I choose MYSELF!" That's exactly what Babe did, too. ❤💪❤@@MythicMindScape21
@@lewismusser7184 Great to hear from you again, thank you so much for your support. I'm thrilled to hear that you're looking forward to the upcoming video on Ann Woodward. Indeed, the contrast between Truman Capote's factual rigor in 'In Cold Blood' and the more personal, perhaps less factual narratives in his social circles, (never let truth get in the way of a good story' The Mark Twain quote, was a motto often used by Truman) offers a fascinating study in storytelling and motive. It's these rich, complex layers of history and human behavior that make delving into these stories so compelling. The script for this one is extremely exciting, as there is so much to tell. Capote and Ann were similar in so many ways, and her life was not dissimilar to his very own mothers'. From the name change, to the New York move, to the social circles to the suicide when faced with ostracism. The challenge in making the video is what not to include really.
Your comparison of Babe Paley to Candida in Shaw's play is particularly astute. Like Candida, Babe's decision to choose herself in the face of personal turmoil was a profound assertion of strength and self-determination. It's these moments of personal resolve, often hidden behind public personas, that truly define the legacies of such remarkable individuals. Babe was a product of her time, and many judge her by the standards of today, which I find unfair, but all are entitled to their opinions.
Your insights not only enrich the conversation but also underscore the nuanced intersections of literature, history, and personal narratives. I'm grateful for your engagement and support, and I hope to continue providing content that sparks such meaningful discussions. Stay tuned for the Ann Woodward video, and once again, thank you. ❤
You are the absolute Bomb 💣 I have the soundtrack album of" In Cold Blood", scored by a young Quincy Jones and it's unsettling Jazz genre underscores every aspect of the tragic story. Seems like I play it after every exchange with you. It's not " easy listening", but the movie is pretty hard to watch, too. .@@MythicMindScape21
Babe was a tragic character. I don't understand how Truman thought she would forgive him.
He probably didnt really care
He was a masterclass in self destruction
He was an alcoholic. They can be incredibly destructive and self serving
He was a true narcissist and thought he would unconditionally love her, unlike his mother.
@@kwill84 he might have also been traumatized and depressed at a time when neither thing was treated
Having a friend like Truman is like having a friend who cautions you about the snakes around you only to find the snake was him. I would go to my deathbed never speaking another word to a “friend” like that. What a toxic person.
Amen !!!!! He was a sneaky snake. Someone you should never confide in. I've learned the hard way over the years. It's so crushing when one is betrayed. 😢
He openly threatened his friends with words like "you do me wrong, you might end up in my book". They should have known better after he betrayed the first "friend"
Absolutely despicable man! Worse than the devil himself!
Shame! R.I.P.
@@PerpetuallyTori the situation wasn't quite that simple. He didn't turn on them until the very end when he was consumed with drugs and alcohol. His addictions likely caused his ultimate betrayal of them. And they were all very pompous and greedy. Most of them had sold their souls. They were not great people. And none of them had the talent that Capote did.
Her life has a morality story: do not marry rich and believe that love doesn't matter. You will be unhappy
And she was used as an object by Truman, too. Poor woman, though it all could have been predicted
Ok, but @ that time and in her social circle, w/o any marketable skllls, how will she maintain her standard of living? Working @ vogue doesn't pay for penthouses and staff. Marrying a millionaire does.
No, it doesn't solve everything. But, it solves many day to day problems. Fixing the roof, buying a house in good neighborhoods. Good schools. This requires money, honey.
Dont forget the most successful of them all. Jackie Onassis. Her mother drilled into her to marry for $$$ and stability. Janet's first marriage to Jackie's dad was Janet's f7ck boy. Janet had no $$ to give to Jackie or sister Lee.
It's so so important to make sure you're friends are sincere friends. Sometimes it might take a certain situation to realize they're not.
Truman was a spoiled, mean person that cared only for himself.
Babes life was so sad, I really can’t believe Truman would do that to her, how betrayed she must have felt. Your video is excellent❤
Thank you.
It is puzzling why so many beautiful, rich women wanted to be in capote’s orbit when he hated women.🤔
I liked Breakfast at Tiffany's and the character was based on Carol Saroyan, but at some point Truman lost himself, and to write the stuff he did at the end like a gossip columnist was shameful. He had sympathy for Holly Golightly, he had none for the people he considered his best friends. I suppose that was the fame, the ego, the drugs, and the alcohol.
Mrs. Walter Matthau
Ego, drugs, and alcohol have a way of doing that. I thought Capote was a great writer. I don't care for what he did to the townspeople of Holcomb. He exploited their misery for his own benefit. Capote as far as a person was a mincing little maggot.
It’s hard for me to feel too much sympathy for these “Swans”. They willingly exchange their dignity and self respect for a life of luxury.
Wow, amazing work once again... Babe was stunning. My Grandmother used to talk about the couple of times she would come to Kentucky. (sales) Oddly she kept the teeth thing kinda hidden but in those circles very few things are personal. Ugh, to Truman, I have never cared for him, as I love books, and I should like his work. However, HE was just a mean and silly little girl, that was jealous. Truman was a MEAN girl, and all of his swans or ducks, deserved better.
Thank you so much for the comment. In the end though he hurt himself most of all, he had few friends, and even Lee betrayed him in the end over the issue with Gore Vidal. Our next video will be on Lee and Jackie and we will talk about the issue with her and Truman as part of it. I'm really glad to have you here, thanks for the warm words.
@@MythicMindScape21 Oh wow, an amazing mind he had.... Love his work, I really can learn from him. Can't wait... Blessings
Great video with many pictures I’ve never seen before. Thank you, I’m now subscribed.
Thank you so much. We will make a new video for next Friday. Hope you will enjoy.
@@MythicMindScape21 Yay look forward to it
I'm surprised some humans don't understand that beauty is so much more than a still. The way a woman moves, the way she speaks, the way she sits, and carries herself. There are so many things that augment beauty: the sound of her laugh, her demeanor, her vulnerability, everything. She very well may have been absolutely beautiful.
It troubles me as well that so many people from the year 2024, simply write. 'She was not beautiful'. I did a video on Lillie Langtry and she would certainly not be considered beautiful by today's standards. We can only go by what people said at the time.
Being grotesquely superficial has its downside
I don't think she was superficial at all. Those were the times. People didn't go out to dinner in sweat pants and tee shirts. It would be nice to be at least somewhere in the middle. Bring back some class.
@@MegAplin People nowadays walk around like bums, no class at all!
She wasn't superficial. In fact, it is superficial for you to say that. She was brought up like so many women of her time, to be defined by her husband. It was only in the 1970 - 1980s that things began to change. With regard to Babe, she was very generous to many charities that benefited New York. She always was looking for excellence in areas of dress, interior design, architecture, preservation of various landmarks, MOMA, and NY Public Library. She was interested in so many things but preferred to work behind the scenes. She was also very, very intelligent. And as a result of an auto accident early on, was never out of pain.
But don't take my word for it. Go read the articles she wrote.
@@MARYREED-nh7gb apologist for vapidness ok have at it
She ignored her children and paid the price
her mother taught her that way we don't really know that she did not care for her kids her granddaughter said she was a good woman
Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, and Liz
Taylor might debate the most beautiful….
These women were children when Babe was given that moniker in the 1940s. Opinions on beauty change.
Ava Gardner tops your list and justifiably so. A true siren. From a hardscrabble rural crossroads called Grabtown in eastern North Carolina, she went from dirt poor to fabulously wealthy in terms of money and men. Unlike a Swan, she was the entire pond! And everyone wanted to jump in....Ava was a pistol alright and an absolute world-beater. In the end, she returned home and is buried in Smithfield, North Carolina. When she heard her former husband, Frank Sinatra, had married Mia Farrow, Ava commented," I always knew he'd end up in bed with a boy". Good thing Frank and Mia showed up at Capote's Black and White Ball, because Ava would have completely stolen the show!!!!!
I thought Ann Margaret pretty awesome looking.
@lewismusser7184 She loved Welsh Corgi.....she sadly smoked herself out. Bless her. With the group of actresses and Babe..different era. But, Babe could hold her own with them in her time,
@@MegAplin did not know about Ava's K9 preferences.She is without doubt the biggest star to ever come out of the Tar Heel state and is revered to this day here. You are so right about Babe,any female or male's equal. The bar she set invites the likes of Ava into consideration.And Ms.Gardner more than fills the bill 💸💵💅👄👁️👁️
Beautiful lady but sad lonely life !
😢
Her life was a contradiction. She had everything and yet nothing. I really feel pity for her. Deep down I hope and want her to be a good person. Perhaps I'm wrong. She did not deserve the life she eventually led. Many lessons to be learned.
Good Lord I am enjoying your channel and binge watching. Thank you ❤. Please keep this up!! 😊
Thanks so much. ❤
Truman was wild for that.
The Swans are all fascinating to me but Babe just stands out
After the Feud series I read and searched more about her.
So sad 😢
Your really good at narrating these stories, i like your style, new subscriber!👍
Thank you so much. :) We will be releasing a new video next Friday. Hope you will enjoy it.
People are angry about Truman being Truman. Most artists are deeply flawed people. How else do you think they’re able to see the world so differently than another? Breakfast at Tiffany’s people…. Breakfast at Tiffany’s….
Her father was one of the greatest neurosurgeons of the twentieth century.
Yes he was.
Trusting Truman?
Ridiculous
If you villainize Truman you clearly don't understand history and you're just responding to that stupid show. He was one of our Generations greatest writers and all writers use inspiration from their lives. These weren't great people he wrote about either. They were known racists xenophobes and classists.. Don't let the Slick glamour fool you
How do you feel I am villainizing him? It is interesting, I try to tell the story as fairly as possible. I have an entire video on his tragic childhood.
@@MythicMindScape21oh, no, not your video, my comment is more in response to the people in the comments that I've seen not just on this video but all over UA-cam about what a villain and how evil Truman was for writing answered prayers. But I feel like a lot of people missed the point about what he was trying to say with answered prayers
Capote was talented, but was a lying ahole.
I am surprised that Babe’s and Bill’s grave markers are so simple. I would’ve expected something more ornate.
I was too.
Perhaps John Warnecke was busy at that time….teehee…!
@@jamesgordon2255 Interesting, the man who designed JFK's grave. Do you believe the stories of him and Jackie?
*All that glitters is a golden trap*
Their lives would have been no less sad & superficial than had Capote not chosen to write about them at all.
Great video. But why end of era. Women like this still exist just there is no publicity surrounding them
Good question, while this is merely an opinion. We called it that for a few reasons
1. End of the Glamorous Socialite Era: Babe Paley represented a period in American history when the activities of high society figures were followed with great interest by the public. This era was characterized by a kind of glamour and elegance that was epitomized by Paley and her contemporaries. Her death symbolized the end of this particular kind of social celebrity.
2. Shift in Cultural Values: The late 1970s and early 1980s marked a significant shift in cultural values and interests. There was a move away from the fascination with the aristocratic lifestyles of the elite, as society began to place more value on different kinds of celebrity - notably those in entertainment and business.
3. Decline of the 'Swans': Babe Paley was one of the so-called "Swans," a group of high-society women who were famous for their beauty, elegance, and fashion sense. These women, including Slim Keith, C.Z. Guest, and Gloria Guinness, were icons of their time, celebrated for their style and social status. Paley's death marked not only the physical passing of one of these figures but also symbolized the fading of this exclusive group from public consciousness.
4. Changing Media Landscape: The era of Paley and her contemporaries was also one where media coverage of socialites was deferential and glamourized. By the late 1970s, the rise of more aggressive and investigative forms of journalism began to change how public figures were covered, leading to a more intrusive and less idealized portrayal of the lives of the wealthy and famous.
Sorry for the long response, 🤣🤣your question was an interesting one and I wanted to give you the reasons as to why it is often thought of as the end of an era.
@@MythicMindScape21A TOUCHE' TREATISE! Bravo! Author, Author!!!!......any more questions,hmm?
@@MythicMindScape21 Thanks
@@MythicMindScape21 rock on
If Barbara, at the mellow certain point, had told Paley to go F himself, probably she have put him in his place into their relationship, and she would have lived further for some extra happy years. She was in the position to do it, but Capote never gave her advise, that was the input she needed because he wanted she was unhappy as he was. Horrible person, certainly not a friend! Yes I red his books when 16-18 yo. I would never now!
Indeed it's sad.
Sadness and pain for the rich and the poor but I'd rather be rich.
This is an accurate video. In a sense, she was a victim of her mom. Capotes Women was a great book about the general subject. A lesson on life and human behavior.
I agree. That was one of the book's I used in researching her story. Wonderful book.
IMO Babe was stunningly beautiful but such a sad figure--like a bird in a gilded cage. These social butterflies were the ultimate narcissists and valued only themselves and their superficial traits.
I just read an article in an online magazine from Babe's granddaughter (daughter of Amanda). She was only 8 when Babe died; she is now middle-aged. Article stated that she did not know the Babe of "Feud". The grandmother she knew was funny, generous and very loving towards her family. Babe Paley was more complex than the cold diva of the Fx series--thank goodness. But I understand that Fx portrayed an exaggerated persona for literary license.
Capote himself said ' 'i think the only person a writer has an obligation to is himself'
I agree 100%. Sort of similar to Diana saying she always wanted a simple life. Hah. Well she made her choice. Not exactly the girl next door. Babe could have done her own thing. No one put a gun to her head. I'm just not sympathetic towards these types. They have it all. WTF do they want out of life?
@biff5856 what everyone wants, love....happiness. it's quite simple. But, very true.
@@MegAplin But going about it in a counterproductive way. Besides it certainly didn't hurt that Billy boy had money and prestige and power.
@@biff5856 Babe was a Cushing...(father famous physician) and her first husband was a Mortimer..... she was always monied. Babe opened doors for Paley..(certain places and circles were prejudiced, which is horrible in itself).
"The beautiful woman is the world", you say???? Oh dear.
She was considered one of the most beautiful women in the world in the 1940s. I am not making any judgement on her appearance. I am telling the story.
She was beautiful!
She wouldn’t get a second glance in today’s world but her money would buy her the same face, that every other rich woman is currently wearing.
@@SJ-ni6iy Well in today's world she would be styled differently.... her hair, etc., this was a different time so she was suited for it.
@@michelleadams474 she doesn’t have features that are classically beautiful. She’s an attractive, average looking woman.
The Cushing sisters were hardly pretty but certainly ahead of the game with being too thin.
Money does not buy happiness.
How bloody sad❤
😢
That poor woman
He was a brilliant writer in his earlier days, but that does not excuse Capote being a complete dick to those women.. the women were fucking vicious to each other.
She certainly WASN'T the most beautiful woman of the 20th century. Hardly the most beautiful woman in the world. These women were raised and molded for only one thing, MONEY !
She’d just get a brand new face like Cher, Khloe Kardashian or Kylie Jenner.
Definitely not beautiful…just thin and well put together. The makeup, hair, and impeccable style. Money can do a lot.
Elegant, ok. Most beautiful in the world? No.
It was just after world war 2, when she was given than label. People had different ideas of beauty 80 years ago.
Kinda stork like
Shut ya pie hole
Just like today. The women they say are beautiful to me are not beautiful at all. The full, big lips (ugly, fake) and big butts (so obscene and ugly looking),and straight, flat hair.
@davidwright873 Make that a stork dying of starvation. But she had enough money to buy the best clothes, the best makeup, and to pay the best hairdresser. Those advantages sure would help a gal.
I guess she was elegant, well dressed, made-up and all, but this woman wasn’t beautiful, much less the most beautiful woman around.
So sad 😔 ❤❤
I wonder if her outstanding wardrobe and beautifully decorated apartments and homes comforted her while her husband cheated on her without shame or remorse?
I guess she had that aristocratic horse face beauty that rich people have sometimes.
No, no, Truman, only Jesus is perfect and you're in eternity now with 100% knowledge of that.
What I find rather fascinating, is what people presume to know, versus the thoughts and opinions of those who knew these people, versus the actual truth according to the people who experienced these things….versus the truth itself.
There is an odd presumptive nature to your videos, where it is quite obvious you are dead set on loathing Capote. It’s rather bizarre. You aren’t family or a friend of those involved, and you weren’t there to hear anything, which would make everything presumption.
It’s fascinating, the assumptions one makes, or how they like to feel they KNOW someone, from possible shared experience…except it’s not. I’m a survivor of rape, but I do not presume to understand what another has experienced. I can understand being violated, and abused, but the experience is singular and unique for each.
Looking at the comments, it’s just interesting to see your demographic, and how you handle these stories. It isn’t without bias, which taints the whole picture. Unfortunate, really.
Oh, and those watching, if you are going to call Capote a “Vile little gay man,” maybe consider why his being gay, had anything to do with your comment, on things you only know, from watching a Ryan Murphy show of all things.
Cheerio!
Interesting comment and rather presumptuous assuming my sources are a mini series. I have an entire video on the tragic childhood of Truman Capote. And my sources are books, not the Ryan Murphy series. Sources include, The Swan's of Fifth Avenue, The biography of Truman Capote, Capote's women, Deliberate Cruelty , The Lives and Times of the Fabulous Cushing Sisters, and the biography on Jackie and Lee Bouvier. So indeed all my sources are from 'people who knew these people'. I am a historian, and chose those sources, and give what the actual people said, trying as much as possible to leave my own opinion out of it. If there are any points you disagree with, please make them and cite your sources, and we can engage in healthy debate.
Glamorous yes..
Beautiful no.
She was given that label in the 1940s. They had different ideas of Beauty than we do today.
Shut ya pie hole
I had such a hard time finding empathy for any of the characters on that show...I found them all so very unlikeable and off-putting.
1. Truman Capote was a rodent, a tiny little creature feeding off the leavings of his betters. This is not a comment about his personal life, but strictly his professional and public life. Even the biographies that treat him well or call him a 'genius' also include his insecurities and his mincing mannerisms.
2. This video makes a great fuss about William Paley's many character faults [and I fully acknowledge that he had more than his fair share of them], but refuses to criticize Babe Paley for her own decisions. The poster blames every single human being that ever met Babe Paley for her issues, but glosses over her own significant defects of character. This is the hallmark of apologist writing and an unfair narrator of events.
3. None of this excuses the behavior of those surrounding Babe Paley. Most of these people lacked principles and all of them failed to live up to what little code of behavior they did have. But each person is still responsible for their own decisions and their own actions. Babe Paley was as much at fault for her life any other abuser. She had the intelligence and the money to leave the cesspit of her life, but she lacked the courage to do so.
It is a 6 minute video on Babe Paley, her life and her death in brief. You can only cover so much in 6 minutes. If you are interested in the life of William Paley and would like to tell his story, here is your forum or you can create your own video. Here we aim to be educated, and if you can educate us, please do.
They smoked....alot. didnt give a second thought
That was the time. Everyone, it seemed smoked and smoked alot.
Yes, there was a belief then that smoking would help the stay thin. For Example, When Jackie Kennedy started smoking in her early teens, she advised her younger sister Lee to start as it would help her lose weight.
Why does everyone always say she's so beautiful?
She's just ordinary. She looks fine, she's thin, but there is nothing special about her in the least.
When I create these videos I try hard not to bring in personal opinions as I want to tell the stories of the people. Those in her day called her that , especially in the 1940s. So all my references are to articles that appeared in those times. In the 1940s, of course Lana turner by many people's standards was more beautiful , but she appealed to a certain segment. In some areas magazines and movies were all people had and seeing the glamorous images of babe I am sure shaped perceptions .
Well she stayed with her husband forthe money and status, so theres that...
She would have had prestige without him, as from the 1940s she was on the best dressed list every year. She had an affair of her own for a time, and it was her second marriage. Why do you think she stayed? Simply money? Notoriety?
Babe Paley was loyal, to her husband....regardless, of affairs, and neglect.... She would have been a success, on her own achievements.....
❤
😢😊
I don't understand how she was considered the most beautiful woman in the 20th century. Grace Kelly could have been, but not Babe. Sorry to say that, but she wasn't beautiful at all
I agrée. Babe was born in 1915 and was given that moniker in the 40s. Grace Kelly wasn’t born until 1929.
Because it takes more than just looks, it’s the whole package. She had it all!
She was very stunning. Her jaw line....Babe was a rare beauty. Remember, she was born in 1915.....
Babe made her own choices, I don't feel sorry for her. Must have been a real tough life, going to cocktails parties everyday. Truman contributed far more to the world than she ever did.
She was a vapid and superficial woman who only cared about money and her status...a bad mother without remorse....very sad
I'm sure like most people she had many sides to her and to some extent she was the product of her environment and up brining. One doesn't have to excuse a person's selfish behavior of course, I'm sure like many people she died with regrets.
I don't think Babe cared about money. She always had it. From her birth to death....money was never a issue for Babe. Money wasn't and still isn't spoke about in circles that have it.
Poor baby. Rich and beautiful. Boo hoo.
she was not beautiful just pain jame
Capote was a jerk!
She really wasn’t pretty almost huge
Too bad Bill Paley was such a PoS!
Your title is factually incorrect. Lee Raz was the last Swan.
Certainly she outlived them all, but Babe and Lee were very different and I am using the term in the way Truman originally defined it. And Babe was much different from the other Swans. She was one of the last of a certain era. In the next video which is on Jackie and Lee mainly, we will talk about her relationship with Truman and her betrayal of him, if you can call it that. Though I understand your disagreement with the title.
And all those bloody cigarettes....
They all believed they helped them to suppress appetite and maintain their body weight.
She is a nice looking woman but certainly not THE most beautiful one. Think of her contemporary Hollywood stars! Dozens I can think of.....
Was she beautiful
She was called the most beautiful woman in the world in the 1940s. They had a different idea of beauty than people do now.
No..She was a dog
She wouldn’t get a second glance today but she’d just buy a new face, by having a million plastic surgery procedures.

see latest
hi ahole .... Capote was a horrible person, great writer at one point but not a good person he stabbed everyone in the back , the people that cared about him the most, babe was his closest friend, he said it himself that she was his family and that he loved her but for fame and God knows what sickness inside of him hurt betrayed her , at the end of his life regretted loosing her and spoke of it and tried desperately to reconcile with her , , so you see , she was something she does not need your approval , maybe its you that are useless with your horrible self
@@memeishere1 What did she do exactly? Wear clothes? Drink cocktails, pose for photos and sit around smoking cigarettes crying about her horrible life. Capote was an artist. She used her husband for money, capote used her for money. She got what she gave,. No one will even remember her name in a hundred years. Capote's books will live forever. All these women think their lives were so important, just like women of today, a bunch of gossipy useless hags
@@JenLev Sounds like you are the one with issues. Babe achieved far more in her life than you ever will. She was well educated, was an editor at Vogue, and carried herself with poise through many difficult situations, something a person such as yourself seems unable to do.
