EyeoftheTiger - there is a lot in your last message. I have a general feeling of unease about the way society is going nowadays - there is too much credence given to anything which appears in print - also the addiction to social media (I include HC in this) does not allow people time to focus on real people, instead many of us live in this abstracted world and waste a lot of time on social media. I am limiting myself now to something like 2 hours per day and that includes checking my shares.

I have done a lot of voluntary work in my time - for a club, a specific community - and you never get any thanks, and you always finish up as the 'it' doing everything, so I am guessing people are even less forthcoming. It's also the age of 'me', 'me', 'my face', 'look what I am doing and I've got a photo to show you' etc.

I think not just Australia, but most of the Western World suffers from a similar malaise - and yet, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. You always have a choice in who you mix with, who you are friends with, what kind of conversations you have. Are you willing to overlook your friend's perceived failing (and he may be right, not you) - are you going to gently insist on your point of view, even in the face of rudeness? as on here?

The conspiracy theorists are everywhere - and it is an enigma why these lies fall on fruitful ground - but originally it's a sickness which came out of America, but it infected the entire world.

Sorry, could talk for hours, but have a party to go to - real people to see
go well
