[Mind's Eye] Re: Destiny??? ???

I remember feeling so weary and bored at age 19. My solution was to
marry which was typical back then. I hardly knew the man- it was based
on college weekends and our backgrounds were completely different.
Anyway, life gets so much better.// Parents can say/do very damagaing
things but can be overcome.//I think faith and luck are different.
Then there's false hope which is another form of denial- the last item
in Pandora's Box as the gods were afraid mankind would committ mass
suicide!!!
