very interesting perspective ravkes. I've always been a deep thinker and tend to either be very serious or very playful/fun loving....and I've always noticed (most) people tend to shy away from me when I'm in my "let's have a serious discussion (much like you are posing here) I think a lot of people don't like to (or are afraid) to examine things too closely.....? Maybe it depends on one's mood? and how accepting you feel at the moment.

If I follow you correctly, you think we should just "go with it" when we are down? As in that maybe we are down for a reason? And, maybe it's the "reason" and not the "down" that should be in the spotlight? Am I understanding this the way you meant it?
