[QUOTE="Papaya, post: 1241043, member: 6964"] My post was intended to address the current human condition in context of it's entirety...not just the last 50 years. Youre kind of reinforcing my point. The majority of human history people died young from diseases that are easily cured now, warring neighbor tribes, animal attack, flood, famine, cold, heat.....and on and on. But it's interesting you would list the following as how conditions are worse: -College debt -Housing costs -Economic prospects These are real concerns but ultimately [b]fears of the ego[/b]. The are obstacles to overcome...[b]not real danger[/b]. The primary purpose of fear is to enhance one's chance at survival. Can you really equate the burden of college debt with getting mauled and eaten by a wild animal, or starving to death because of an extended drought, attacked by a xeno-community, etc etc Im not trying to minimize the issues facing younger men in an attempt to make light of the concerns, but rather to empower them by shedding light on the concept of real fear vs ego fear kaotic keyed in on the crux of the issue: "mindset" In order to live a [b]desire [/b](positive) driven life rather than a [b]fear [/b] (negative) driven one a person has to have [b]perspective[/b].
