Dear Jackie,

You raise important and sensitive questions for all of us.

I'm thinking about these below questions, not exclusively about you, but as they might relate to maybe all human beings.

1. Where do you relinquish your authority?
2. From whom must you seek permission?
3. What are the forces in place that maintain this structure?
4. What benefits do you get from this structure?
5. What risks might you take if this structure is gone?
6. What is the first step to change this structure, or is the status quo acceptable to you?

Thank you for such question provoking share, Jackie.
