So right. I am SO TIRED of hearing “I have anxiety.” So? Get control of yourself and deal with LIFE. Children today aren’t taught to do that because mommy and daddy take away all the barriers (if they are around at all with the divorce rate and then they are hunting for their new honey while Ignoring their child.)

IMHO, the downside to all of the wonderful conveniences and niceties we've enjoyed in recent decades is that most people have lost all ability to be the least bit uncomfortable. I know people who won't do any form of time restricted eating, because getting through the first hunger pang is too difficult. I once heard an interview about the characteristics of world-class athletes. The one trait they all shared was "the willingness to suffer." The ability to sit with discomfort, be it physical, emotional, or spiritual, is key to any real health or progress. [end rant, lol...]

Absolutely. I get the monthly magazine from Voice of the Martyrs which strikes me to my soul every time I read a story. We are ALL so friggin’ spoiled, pampered and lazy. None of us could last 15 minutes where the majority of African or SE Asians live. They live in fear for their and their families’ lives every single day. Buddhism, Hindus and Muslims hate Christians and persecute and kill them for their faith and make daily living a severe struggle.
