Why does no one teach children the dynamics of family relationships? More specifically, regarding maintaining a couple's relationship while raising a family?
Most divorces could be prevented by this.
We are doing our children a great disservice.
We are failing them.

This thought has not left me alone since it occurred.
'Suicide is a symptom of a dysfunctional society.'
It's a bummer, I know.
We can fix the causes behind this epidemic.
Or, we can keep ignoring them. (This is what all governments do, now.)

Is help that comes with a price, help?
This question drives me nuts from all viewpoints.
I want to help.
I want to be helped.
I do not want my efforts, wasted.
Help, or not to help?
(I think I'll puke if I take this any farther. 😁)

P.S. Serious question.

With all of the talk about empathy of late, I am compelled to state my beliefs.
Like everything else in this world, empathy must be used with care. It should only be used when it benefits all involved.
Isn't this obvious?

I'm interested in a discussion about instincts.
How they affect our lives when compared to "animals."
How we react under certain conditions individually and as species.
e.g., Is suicide a species survival trait to conserve resources?
Does it occur individually when we try to ignore all instincts?

Higher education and the US Department of Education (DOEd).
Higher education requires maintenance.
The DOEd prevented students from performing this maintenance by garnishing wages.
They have now made it impossible for many to now use the education they are paying for.

We need a national weekly day off from commerce. A chance for people to recover and connect with family and friends. It would improve the nation's productivity and mental health.
Sunday used to serve this function for America. However, this was stopped because of “religion.”

I went to see someone today, to return some documents they had lent to me for a research project. We talked of many things and then I came away with a string of onions that they gifted to me, that they had grown and strung themselves, and something in the skill of it all astonishes me.

Watercolour painting of a kitten called Holly! One of my favourite paintings. She looks so vulnerable.

Rufous mouse lemurs (Microcebus rufus), also called the brown mouse lemurs or russet mouse lemurs, are native to Madagascar’s eastern rainforest. Nocturnal, during the day they sleep in tree holes, leaf nests, and old bird nests. Threatened by habitat loss from slash-and-burn agriculture. Vulnerable

Anti-Malnutrition Strategy for Men over 50 (weekly requirements on the cheap)
1 dozen eggs = B12, D;
2 cans sardines = D, B12, omega-3;
1 lb frozen spinach = Folate, C
This only addresses common deficiencies.
(I'll add one for women, in a little while. I'm a guy, don't complain.)
