Thank you for your insight ! I had reached roughly the same conclusion
after i wrestled with the problem a bit . I may be a bit more radical
and say that a "balanced" caesar (and who is to say he wasn't? )
would be a truly extraordinary "force of nature" . Ihave concluded 
"make the mirror as best as you can, stick to the "positive" and most
importantly keep listening , watching and learning so as to align more
and more with your "True Self" " 

Very kind of you to respond . And much appreiated .
