Hi Kyla (and sorry I confused you with Kayla - although I gather you're pretty isolated and remote in North Carolina too. Know the feeling, being out here in the UK).

What I meant was that if at some point you stopped believing in the direction a company or organisation or spiritual community was going in, it's hard to leave if you're so invested personally and financially. Personally - you may stand to lose many friends. Financially, deep survival issues surface. So I was pointing to the compromise this sort of situation can put us all in - it perhaps just seems worse if it happens in a spiritual community if it preaches honesty and communication etc., and then someone finds themselves staying for financial reasons when ideologically they need to leave or move on. I'm attaching no blame here and have no one in mind at all - it's just that it can happen. I know that excrutiating feeling from a secular point of view, but somehow that doesn't feel quite so "morally" bad, as it were, when the people I'm pretending to are employers with whom I have no personal relationships of human trust. Hope this clarifies what I meant.

Gill
