Again, the which came first circular argument. I am not saying that neurochemistry does not exist, Chris, only that it is not the whole picture. And this is not the first time you have suggested that I inject something to prove your point (or Ian's). I guess you didn't understand my post above when I said that is up to YOU to prove to yourself, not me to prove to you. I have already proved it to myself. I have learned with much contemplation and self examination, to regulate my moods and emotional responses. You may take a pill to regulate yours, I don't know. As I say, to each his own.
