Nov 2019

have not turned out as they planned or hoped and are looking for something and someone to blame for their problems instead of looking inward to adjust and overcome their problems.

Others, many of whom are my relatives and childhood friends, are angry that the world is no longer the way it was during some idealized time in their lives (when they were children..when they were in high school..when they got their first jobs). They can’t or won’t adjust to the changing world so are angry at anything that represents change.
