[QUOTE="Dale00, post: 3579406, member: 688"] Attitude and outlook are vital....gratitude and tolerance will see you though a lot. I was listening to NPR on the car radio this morning and heard an interview with a very unhappy person in England....blaming prejudice for making him and others miserable....he went so far as to give speeches in which he asked audience members to recall the first time they encountered prejudice and how unfair society is... etc. I could only partially agree. Yes there are prejudiced people but people of every color encounter jerks. The key element is how you react. If you buy into a ready-made narrative that society is against you then you are doomed to a downward spiral....better to shake it off, look for the good in others and avoid the jerks as best you can.
