View submission: Do you ever feel depressed?
I relate to all you wrote, Restful.
It isn't depression I feel but legitimate sadness akin to grief over so much unawareness and how that promotes poor choices. It causes the inevitable poor results everyone shares in, like it or not.
We have learned to curate who/what we are involved with more and more as awareness/simple living grew. Still are learning, as a manner of fact. Mainstream stuff is geared to the masses. All our tastes run to the niche side, so searching more creatively is required.
As for social stuff, lately we found more compatible folks among certain special interest groups: literary minded, vegans, holistic wellness/integrated medicine are a few off the top of my head.
As for entertaining media, we read and watch dvd's free from the library almost exclusively. We are better at selecting books than dvd's, some of which only makes it for 15 minutes before we realize this won't entertain/educate.
I hope this gives you some ideas; gets those little grey cells (as Poirot would say) excited. Meanwhile, you have all of us here. I know, that's very limited but it can be used as a springboard.
There's nothing here!
