We all make our mountains and we make them as tall as we need them

Putting things into perspective doesn't seem to work well as a coping mechanism.  If we have a problem, it doesn't matter that the problem isn't a big deal to anyone else.  It only matters how large a problem it is to us.  When other people try to minimize a problem (mountain) or put it in perspective, that doesn't help to make our mountain smaller to us, it just minimizes us compared to our mountain.

Aurelia, Firefox and Input fields

I had a mis-behaving checkbox input field on Firefox.  The checkbox was working fine on Chrome and Safari - likely IE as well.  But it wouldn't stay checked on Firefox - kept resetting itself to unchecked.  For the short version, @jsobell on Aurelia's Gitter channel told me that Firefox triggers input attributes based on alphabetical order.  I had a model.bind(), checked.bind(), and change.trigger() on the checkbox in question in that order.  The change.trigger() was running last with the other browsers and first in Firefox.

It was sloppy code on my part, I should have processed everything in the change.trigger function instead of a kludge of model.bind and checked.bind with a change.trigger that was really carrying the main functionality.
