People who are Not People

This is the big problem we have to deal with.

This problem is big but invisible. People cannot see it. And they cannot even imagine its existence.

Everyone, since they were a small child, has asked themselves (unconsciously) "How can I live with this situation?" And then lived with the solution they came up with.

I have a cousin who went through this problem. He went to college and graduated into a profession he could not stand. He was a married man with children at the time. His wife divorced him and left with the children.

His sister, who lived in a better part of the country, invited him to live with her and her husband for a while until he got his life straightened out. He took Adult Education classes, that included tests to see what careers he was suited for. He went back to work in one of those careers and remarried.

To this day, he does not know what he went through, and cannot understand how he recovered.
