I respect your compassion, Markus. Maybe its my age (45), the fact that my kids (14,10,7, and another soon) are growing up, or just the circumstances surrounding me, but I feel so fortunate everyday. Some need a crisis to bring them back to what is important. It is too easy to go about you daily business, playing whatever "role" you have chosen for your life. That was my life from about age 25-40. It's not all our own faults. Everything is the US is geared to equating having money and possession of material good with being happy. I've found surrounding yourself with love ones has been my most rewarding accomplishment to date. Because, in the end, what else do you really have? Hopefully this will happen for you. (Sorry to sound perhaps too deep, I'm usually posting one sentence, sarcastic comments.)
