Einstein said in a completely different context, I'm sure, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." I quit drinking. Its helping me solve this one. I'm getting to the root of how to make my life for the next 70 years, or less I hope, enjoyable. Today in the park, I came to the beginning of the conclusion that I need to spend time around people who are trying to better themselves in some way and in turn I have to ask myself, "how am I bettering myself?". I can't answer that right now. So far it's been one mental, intellectual challenge after the next, but advanced thinking counts for little if I have no plans to employ it. In fact it just leads to depression. I need to focus and choose something to pursue with new passion, or else start drinking heavily again. I wish I was 19 again, just like my dad says. I understand why the old folks cry.
