I grew up the way many of you have and, indeed, it was a different time. My wife and I have been discussing how fortunate we have been to grow up in those times.
At times I do blame the Internet for the divisiveness we all experience. And yet, the Internet has many virtues and has made a huge positive difference in my life.This forum has enriched my life for years. This Covid thread has also shown me the damage caused by the virus goes way beyond health/economic issues.
Finally, as long as we are philosophizing, I have 3 thoughts that have guided me. The first two I read somewhere years ago.
1. Maturity is the ability to handle uncertainty ( from a college statistics book).
2. Nostalgia is the biggest lie of all.
3. Don’t BS yourself.
