[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 682168, member: 18958"] We are not allowed to talk politics here on CD, and I am not. But have you been watching the political sphere here in the US? I am a news junkie and I just despair. M does not understand why I watch news all day which really is not news, it is the repetition of the worst form of gossip, and I am glued. I feel stunned and in despair at the human condition. But I do not allow myself to believe about myself in a way that is sullied by what anybody else in the world does outside of M and my son. Sometimes, here on CD I get my feelings hurt, that is true. But I have learned to confine myself to places here where I cannot so easily be hurt. Because I am retirement age I can limit my outside interactions somewhat to those that are superficial so that I can limit their damage to my feelings or sensibility. But if my life again changes to one where I must be more in the world and thus more vulnerable to it, I know I will hurt like you do. This does not mean that the problem or limitation is in us. We can work to bolster this understanding. We must. It is not your fault. None of it. COPA [/QUOTE]
