But I understand the sentiment. I recently have had a crisis in my marriage and find myself feeling -- what's the point? I'm in my late 50's. It's all down hill from here.
I'm trying to fight this. In twelve step groups, people talk a lot about being of service, helping others. Yes, maybe you are unhappy and had a hard life with too little love and appreciation, but others have even harder lives. So trying to be of service to others who suffer greatly can make you feel more at peace.
