Many people are lonely without even being aware of it: their lives are not touched by other people
These same people have it witihin their power to touch other people's lives.
But they choose not to-either out of meanness or because they have anaesthetised themselves with busyness or an addiction.

Aussies and the English
Aussies almost never feel sorry for themselves -they are so like the English Public school stereotype-all stiff upper lip. You have to admire them for it.
It makes it difficult for them to feel sorry for anybody else

More Addictions
Five, or is it six posts in one day. Must be a record.
Maybe writing is addictive.
An addiction is something that starts off as useful but if overused can become destructive both to the addict and those around him.
I'd forgotten chocolate, sugar, salt, work, sleeping pills and anxiety.
Yes, I think anxiety and work are coping mechanisms which can be very addictive.

Emotional Intelligence
The emotionally intelligent person is the new name for the oldest personality type in the history of humanity-the 'survivor' - the person who survives by systematic brown-nosing and manipulation.
the 'F' word -he is 'Flexible'
I am definitely emotional and possibly intelligent - but not emotionally intelligent.
No wonder people find English difficult to learn.

Africa, Addiction and Happiness
The average human is a collection of addictions
In spite of facing the most extreme hardships in life Africans remain addicted to happiness. Just look at them and observe them.
We are all addicted to something: nicotine, alcohol, routines, food, comfort, drugs, danger, sex, excitement, pain, even despair.
Africa was the cradle of civilisation.
The world might be a happier place if humans had not moved out of it.

Vive la difference
Truth is like the childrens' game:
"I'll show you mine if you show me yours!"
There is no absolute truth
Vive la difference!

Truth and children
Truth..?
For children what is important is that 'I'll show you mine if you show me yours'
We should be like children.
For children, the absolute truth is not important.
