Sigh... no, we're not. We're not even saying we *have* any problems, which is sort of the silly part of your statement, lol. Synesthesia is just a slightly different way of looking at the world, that's all.

Naturally, we all have problems, but synesthesia has nothing to do with it whatsoever, it's just the way I perceive my environment. And for the problems I do have, I am not looking for a scapegoat for them... I do my best to face them, conquer them, & go on living splendidly, fully, & blissfully.

In fact, here's a quote I have posted on my monitor, over my kitchen stove, & on my bathroom mirror: "You are responsible for your own problems, just as you are responsible for your own liberation and enlightenment." -Lama Zopa Rinpoche

The beauty & richness of life is simply astounding when one tries to think and act from a place of love and compassion.
