Getting used

We are getting used very fast with good or bad, with what we previously feared, or distrusted. All we need is to tell ourselves that what it is going on with us is part of "our" normality, eventually the normality agreed as well by the others. We focus all our efforts and energies to find out people like "us" with whom to share our common experiences. And, to get more psychological support for what we achieved or for what we don't. The most important is to have a certain mental comfort. It is the same with age, with illnesses, with various status upgrades or downgrades. The social choices we have at our disposal are offering an vaste range of possibilities to stop improving, to stop being angry against our pitiful human situation. With or without a religion, our reactions are following similar patterns and whatever braves our minds and hearts we expected to be, at the end of the road, we are still facing the poor shortages of our desperate efforts to survive. At any kind.
