[quote=āKinvaraās Passion, post: 851371, member: 686ā]If your lucky enough to have a safe and loving upbringing then its a good start in life. Even with that your a slave to the DNA thats embedded in your fibre.
Growing up is especially tough these days as now more than ever the focus of human value focuses heavily on appearance and money making abilityā¦ and whats it all forā¦ to fill our lives with unnecessary junk that only restricts the time spent on the important things.
You need to have a solid head on your shoulers to see through it all. It took me long enoughā¦ would hate to do it all again.[/quote]

spot onā¦more than ever the world is deemed to be full of either winners and losers, all based on material thingsā¦people on facebook etc. wasting their life trying to convince everyone else they have the perfect life ā¦its all bollox ā¦ good family and good health are the 2 most important things a person can haveā¦
I agree that itās good to talk and Iāll be meeting @Rocko for lunch to ask him about the 10-hour bathroom sittings. Just from the anecdotes posted here, a significant number of you seem to have battled with anything ranging from feeling gloomy to more serious bouts of depression.

Are we at a stage in western society where Maslowās Hierarchy of Needs where biological and basic life needs are satisfied, safety needs are satisfied and people then struggle as they become concerned with the higher needs - love, self esteem, personal potential. People struggle to satisfy these needs and this leads to problems.
Maybe just psycho babble but do people have too much time to think and compare their lives to others nowadays.[/quote]

big timeā¦log on to argue with someone you never met or will meet over something that doesnāt have a definite answerā¦try to ram your opinion down some strangerās throat ā¦its utter madnessā¦ but a beautiful madnessā¦
Ah chaps, the āI want to go homeā routine has been going on for years and itās a tradition at this stage. While I probably would prefer to go home most lunchtimes instead of returning to work, itās not really upsetting me to toddle back to the office.

I presumed that was a physical issueā¦ But your widespread use of sarcasm and irony often reveals your bubblier angry side.
