Oh no, that's fine. In the first place it was just a theory, and not a
fully developed theory at that. Secondly, I am not very good at
expressing what I mean. I just view the world so differently than some
people..I see hostility, artificiality, and negativity, but some people
never see that. I just think that perhaps the more dysfunction one has
in their lives when they are children, the more 'negative' their
universe as adults. Now, as an adult, I empower myself by choosing my
own environment which is my homestead...a place that is not hostile, not
artificial, and not negative..it is a place of my doing, my creation,
and it is positive. I need that like air. When I need to center, I
simply need to immerse myself in my homestead doings and shut off the
outside world..then, I feel safe and secure.

I wish I could say that. For me, the world has been a scary place
since I was a little kid. I do believe that I live far away from
most people to gain a sense of security that I don't feel living
amongst others in society. Lynn, was your childhood 'normal'? I
have a theory that people who grew up in households where there was
minimal dysfunction generally have fewer fears about things,
whereas people like me who grew up in abusive households never
quite process it all well, end up having scary dreams, and then of
course that affects their waking life and adulthood.

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will
not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius
will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the
world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone
are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve
the problems of the human race"
