Hi Gee, I was thinking of people in my past too much. Some good memories--mostly bad. I'm above the depression enough that I started doing a mental trick.
As soon as one of these people would 'reappear', I imagined them in a big bubble floating away in the sky. Poof!! Gone. It really has helped me but probably wouldn't do squat for someone really depressed.
If I really dislike some particular person, I imagined shooting the bubble with a shotgun! lol
As far as wars go--Viet Nam wasn't long ago but our current administration clearly has forgotten.
Those who forget the past are destined to repeat it.Phil
