@dorisena You are a dedicated learner. While knowledge is power, that same knowledge can be very depressing. This is all the more the case when you really can't do much with it. That happens when the intended benefactor rejects everything; also when knowledge does not lead to improving things.

I do not really get depressed. I try to use the knowledge I learned for the future, and hopefully that improves lives in the future. Children need to learn empathy by the age of five or six, according to the experts, and then they can grow up to have stable personalities to work with others in their lives. It is the key to good mental health as adults. We must begin the teaching very young as it is easier to accomplish. My children are successful adults despite the influence of their father. They loved him very much because he taught them vocational skills at a very young age. My past was not a totally black picture. They learned as well. Dorisena
