Thank you Cordieb, as I blush. I found the reference to Thoreau and loved it … so I shared it. The link was too small, so I added his quote. Thank you for showing me the reference was incomplete without the “rest of the story.”
Visit often and help me fill in any blanks you find.

I love this article/Op Ed. I’ve re-read it several times. . .between yesterday and today, as to digest it fully. I do believe you are correct in your assumption that Americans are becoming meaner. . . I wonder if this is happening across the globe? We always have a choice in how we react to any given situation. So many times we react in a manner which we have been taught or which has become second nature of sorts. But, if we take a moment to change our reactions, especially our reactions to perceived negative stimuli, perhaps we will see a different, and even positive outcome. I began practicing this some time ago, and I find that my blood pressure has dropped to healthy levels and I’m measureably a happier, more content human being, than I was when I reacted negatively to perceived negative stimuli. . Anywho. . . I will not bore you with my meanderings. . . but I do have one question. You wrote. . .
“There are four reasons why most people settle for living on and on with negative issues that they could eliminate or dramatically improve. Each reason is associated with a category or group of people …”

Please elaborate on the four reasons and categories of people whenever you have a chance. I would be ever so greatful – as you have peaked my curiosity. I loved this. . .Thanks for creating and sharing!!!

Blessings as always! CordieB.
