Re: There is something wrong!

Thanks Emanuel and Matthew, you both have good points as question and answer so I will try to point out that the questions are natural, and the answer is very true and kind. Yes probably most of us have these moments when the world seems weird, even hopeless with the destructive activities going on, and it's hard to understand what we can do as individuals. I find it helpful however, to take comfort in the fact that many people are trying to make a difference for the better. About family, we are so close but sometimes we wonder, what can that other family member be thinking? But then, I realize in my own case, that often eventually if we listen and observe the clues, we can understand better, and with our own behavior improve the tone of the family communication. In my case it has been well worth the effort with my brothers, and with my husband.

Well, enough about me, I hope others respond to the original poster's very sincere question and to Matthew's excellent answer.
