People appear to be having these existential Crises's all over the shop because, perhaps, they dont know who they are and what their roles are meant to be in society and the family.
I don't disagree with some of what you've observed here, but the negatives you mention, such as depression and existential crises are par of the course of discovering personal identity imo, and a valuable process to the individual
a bit chaotic? maybe ... chaos brings confusion, after all (thank you Sir Thurston of Moore) ... and next is the truth etc etc
what do you mean by 'meant to be in society and the family' tho?
especially interested in the meant to be bit? because that sounds personally crippling to me, and some form of opposition to everything I am, or want to be free to be. I'm aware that last phrase sounds wanky, but i can't think of a better or more efficient phrase at the moment.
lol I just realised that I cant write now.. I feel so pukey.. It was an inspiring response though Marmz.. (annoying that youve inspired me though!! :/ )
Permission to write a bit more on the subject later if thats ok..
I really pray that out of all this chaos some kind of new 'order will emerge and this rage and depression storm will pass over and people will be more at peace with themselves and who they are.
atm.. I'm sure I'd like to respond to your post too but I havn't read it fully yet me darlin'
