> Bulldog agree with a lot you say bad childhood equals poor coping skills as you or I weren't taught any. As for changing the way we live our life are you saying ignore the world changes and stay in our own safe world or go out and try to adapt to the new world? I know I will never have an Ipod or blackberry and don't want one. White picket fences and love forever were what I wanted. Work filled the void and got about 25 years of happiness. Maybe that is all I'm entitled to? Don't know. Phillipa
We have to learn to cope with an insane world. We can see that having things really doesn't buy happiness. Look at the kids today. They have far more than we ever had and seem so depressed, lost and often lack a moral compass.For some it may be becoming involved in a political or spiritual causes. I think for me I have to get out of just existing day by day to a life with some meaning and zest.It seems like the happiest people are people that are involved in something they are passionate about.
We have no choice but to adapt to the new world. But you can still create your own world. Some may garden, paint, mediatate, become spiritual but we must feed our minds positive experiences.and some may need meds to stop the backsliding so they can move forward.
