[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 654069, member: 17542"] I had coffee with a new friend on Friday. We are just getting to know each other. She is in her 40s. I am 58. One thing she said: Oh I really think our world is just in a terrible place, worse than ever before. I disagreed. I said, You know, I don't feel that way. I feel like there is much beauty and joy and great stuff out there for us, and inside each us, and life is and can be wonderful. I think the 24/7 news media cycle (my field of work and study) makes us THINK things are just terrible. Things are what they are and always have been---people striving, not striving, living, changing, not changing...whatever it is. Yes there are other factors and the world is a terribly fast-moving, tech-filled place, which has brought us great leisure (good and bad) and great disconnections from other people. But....I still believe. Anyway, like Al-Anon says: Attitude is everything. And Attitude is my responsibility and no one else's, no matter what they are doing or not doing. [/QUOTE]
