<DIV>hi</DIV>
<DIV>OBSERVE</DIV>
<DIV>fear and depresion, where dos it come from, it certainly doesn't come from peak oil, how you failed to deal with it was by escaping from the fact, only you can understand you, your wife, your children, your parents, your religious systems, your political systems, your therapist,any form of authority can't understand you</DIV>
<DIV>you may be empowered but you have still not solved your problem of fear, becuase all you have done is practice an escape from the fact and when you realize all the escapes that have been used from the begining of the human race,and deny the use of them, then you and only you will be able to confront that basic fear and defeat it</DIV>
<DIV>enjoy your confrontation and victory, i might hear from you but then again i might be dead and with it all my memories and thoughts of the life i have lived</DIV>
<DIV>love and freedom are at the begining</DIV>
