[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 692864, member: 18958"] So in this sense they are like our difficult children. Is it just that because they are going with the grain of what society sees as valuable and desired, that we do not see (or opine about) their tunnel thinking: This is so true. Something I was forced to confront about myself. I was one of those young and educated, with unrealistic ideas about life, that life would deliver the payoff: happiness and contentment if only I succeeded. Not so. While I do not regret it--but I see it as only one way among hundreds of equally valid lives I could have lived--I see the cost. Now I do. Life lives them. What a great way to put it. So what does it say about Brexit, going and others? I still assert that myopia and racism were not the only drivers to opposition, but a calling out of leadership to consider those below whose lives are affected by these treaties and such. These were elders who called out their leaders, by my (our?) way of thinking--people who were now at the time of their lives to live life...not solely let life live them. To you who have supported the remain side, do you see any constructive, altruistic, responsible element to the opposition to Brexit? [/QUOTE]
