There are various components to being a mature adult: patience, respect, the ability to compromise... is there a good book that defines these traits and describes what might go wrong in developing them? I see many folks who aren't "mature" adults and I want to learn more about what goes wrong.

Just wondering - if it's a psychological human phenomenon, we should be able to prevent it; but if it's something brought on by civilization, what do we do?

Just wondering, if you've pretty much done everything you've ever wanted and don't know what else to do in life, is that when you start feeling satisfied or bored?

Last week: Every night, the same dream. I am on a bus, it crashes into a river, it sinks, I escape out of the window, I get to the surface and wake up...

This week: Every night, the same dream. I am in a car. It is involved in a big crash, I escape from the car before it explodes. I step out away from the vehicle, and I wake up...

What the hell does this mean, if anything?

Why do I keep having these dreams?

Any ideas?

To clarify my question, please first consider these scenarios:

1. My brother and I share a business. We agree to sell cans of beans at a mutually agreed price. We don't prevent anyone else from producing, buying or selling anything.
2. As #1, but we're neighbors with separate businesses.
3. As #1, but we happen to be all the sellers of beans in North America.
4. As #1, w/ potable water instead of canned beans.

I don't see what is wrong or non-market in the above scenarios, for
(A) it is each buyer's free choice to buy at that price or not,
(B) it is each seller's free choice what price he offers HIS goods at,
(C) the buyers impose no unnatural barriers to competition.

Is the only problem that one of A,B,C are violated in reality (bribes, threats, trade secrets, etc.); OR are any of 1-4 wrong in themselves? If the latter, then how? (E.g., cos people really don't have an unrestricted right to set the price for what they rightfully own and produce, even if they coerce no one?!?)

They twist around and spread stories to neighbors. Always treated them nice and friendly..but when they found out we were thinking of putting on a small room in back (homes are spaced far apart, lots are big, would be within city code, need no approval from any other homes, no infringement) they went crazy, chased us with questions. I tried to answer, but I myself didn't know.
When they saw my dad in a store, they asked him when we are putting up that addition (small room) My dad said,
they have the blueprints, they can do this anytime. That is why they want us to move. Turns out it has been 5 years and we still can't afford to put that room on (we have a 1 , ) They are so mean...they say mean things aloud so I could hear, just all kinds of ugly behavior. My hubby does not want to move. My friend said they are very envious. What do you think? I can't
believe how these people are behaving.
Sheesh,

Ya, it took me many years to figure out not to repeat mine. But
some people go ALL THRU THEIR LIFE.....and never learn from
their lessons. Its like a personality thing, they stay the same, or
like they stop growing....I don't know...but it pisses me off! Cause
I have to watch them........I just can't get through to them......WHY?

This happens to me a lot. I'm walking down a hallway or a sidewalk, and I see someone I kind of know, but not really that well. We both know that the other person is coming, and we have to pretend like we see eachother only a few meters from when we pass eachother.

Does anyone else hate this kind of experience?

My husband had an affair. I was 21 yrs old and had an 11 mo old and a 3 yr old. and was totally devastated. He cheated with a lady who was in her late 40's and married her. He picked the kids up on the weekends and I just couldnt get it together for a long time and ended up having sex with multple partners. Now I regret my actions. I ended up with a a std and finally settled down after about 5 or 6 years of total promiscuity. Does everyone go thru this or did I have a mental breakdown of some kind?

in your life, i'm not talking ab. politicians

& how do you deal with it so even if they try to ruin your day, you ignore it - but efficiently and never give them a second thought.

i'm mostly talking aboout people at work, for ex, those that you can't avoid.

thanks
