To Be Hopeful

Good morning Eric:

I don't really have a question. Although I've been through some very rough times (my mum died when I was 14, I tried to commit suicide at 17, got suckered into a hopeless marriage, gave birth to a beautiful daughter but she was very ill until the age of 10, got divorced. After that I had a relationship that re-instated my faith in humanity for about a year. Then it blasted me back to square 1). Still, I always managed to crawl back on top of things. Reading about people who have not that luck makes weighs me down more than I can explain in words. All that mankind developed, achieved, invented, created: it still isn't able to offer comfort and a decent emotional life to most of us.

 

Kind regards

Cleo

 

 

Dear Cleo,

Yes, we have to give these things to one another, and to ourselves.
