Rod,
"I think it's all a matter of self-awareness or lack of it."
Precisely my summation.
I've finally realized that self-awareness is something for which some people will never find their capacity.
That many, if not most, people who do find it try to "lose" it as quickly as possible, perhaps an innate egocentricity that allows them only to be selfishly "self-aware"?
I miss having friends who think and feel and share their thoughts, even when those thoughts are divergent. My best buddies were a group of guys I grew up with. So introspective, so caring, that they have, all seven of them, taken their own lives. I shy away from seeking the depth we had, maybe I subconciously feel it died with the last of them.
Thanks for a tiny glimmer.
