Dear Joe:

This is what I thought/ felt as I read your post before last: seeking the old friends, associates… seeking the past, wanting to crawl into the past like a safety nest, a security blanket. There are no retroactive worries- the worries before those old times are gone and we no longer worry about what was, so what was is safe there, and we want to go… there.

What will be, that is where are worries are about now. We don’t want to go there. We want safety.

In your last post you wrote about the old and familiar and not wanting to face the uncertain, so we concur, I think.

It is interesting, looking back in time we know, for example that we cant die then (We already lived through it) but looking into the future, well … we don’t even know that we will have it.

I have greater insight myself into this, thank you Joe (and I hope you keep the user name and that the other person if he/ she continues to post will get another user name and by the way, it amazes me that it is even possible to choose one that is already in use!)
