For my wife and I it is marriage counseling and helping those that find it difficult to handle this world.

Chas, this is no reflection on you, it’s just what your post triggered off in me. Too many people complaining and few are doing much about it.

John, I'm going to acknowledge your point of view and respectfully disagree. Refusing to acknowledge the negative things in life is hardly a solution to anything. Also, I wasn't exactly "complaining" and I DID propose that we could begin by respecting the other persons point of view (and by so doing, respect the other person).

My post probably does NOT belong here, but it was not a "negative conversation" as much as an observation about the human condition, along with a suggestion on how we might improve upon it. Again, I respect your opinion and appreciate your comments.
