You're angry with the world.
It's OK to vent; we all know you have problems at home.
Are you still playing raquetball? Maybe you need to go wear yourself out.
Sometimes when we're in a pickle, the world seems less inviting. Going through a divorce at mid-life after decades of doing it right, is bound to be putting pressure on your pleasure centers, or those parts of the brain that afforded you security and comfort.
It's a big cold world out there. Question yourself, not others.
I like what Bowz said:
>"It's much easier than standing on one's own, realizing that you aren't very important, that the world will go on without you very well, and your circumstances are of no matter except to you in your vainglory."
Been there. Done that. Have accepted my place in the cogs of the Great Wheel of Life and most days I feel fine with it.
(Leave me alone on my bad days, though).
