In reply to the discussion: The Beat Goes On [View all]H2O Man
(73,506 posts)27. Good points!
Thank you for this!
I try to keep in mind something that Erich Fromm pointed out in his classic book, The Sane Society. He spoke about in a highly dysfunctional -- or, insane -- society, those who were sane could find it a struggle to maintain balance. And so I view DU as an island of sane people that generally maintain a sense of stability.
I also remember when I was a kid, hearing Elders say "this isn't the country I grew up in." I used to wonder what they meant. Now, of course, I know.
