Gail, my emotions about how the world works are something that can either
help me or hurt me; either way it won't change the situation.  I would 
love to be in the world that was described to me while younger where people
had integrity, one's word ment something, people trusted and could
trust one another, and there is a sense of community.  What I find is
a world where Americans don't even know who their neighbors are, people
will say or do anything for a buck, one's word means very little, and
even in situations like marriage & divorce it's every man, woman and child
for themselves.  Either I can pine away for a fantasy world or adapt to
the current reality.  This doesn't mean I'm going to "sell out" my
values for this harsher reality; I just have to be acutely aware and
cautious of what might be going on versus just assuming the best.
