Walked over five miles to pick up my car and arrived looking like the wild woman of Borneo. I could have taken a taxi but I thought the fresh(!) air would clear the negatives from yesterday´s disheartening events. I certainly feel enormously energised, wild-woman-look notwithstanding.
Odd sort of weather though. Very sunny and snowing. Will definitely take the car out to make sure the battery doesn´t seize up again. Reminds me of the time I used to bring in the battery and leave it charged overnight.
That serious downer (not about the car!) made me think of depression. What is a depressive and what makes a depressive?
I may be wrong of course, but I don´t think I am a depressive. Sure I have downers, like most people. It is surely natural to feel gloom about some aspects of the world around one.
Then there is ‘good cause’ to consider. And, while I do think sometimes I cannot control events or people, it doesn´t make me feel inadequate. Most of the time, I fight back with words in some way. But I do bounce back. I do implement my own form of control within. But yes, gloom is increased when I cannot take adequate action - and there are heaps of reasons why one does not or cannot.
Despite all the rants, I really do believe people´s motives first off. Even if they are serial offenders, I give them the benefit of the doubt the next time … and the next time …. and the next. So when do I stop?

Thurs 24: Is life pre-ordained? Why would any of us bother if we picked a lousy hand? Are there really Tamil sages who have palm leaves containing details of every human sentient that is and will be? Maybe not all, as many of these nadis were lost over time.
Tues 8: What really, really, pisses me off big time is having to explain or justify any episode which is a subjective interpretation on the part of the person wielding the wooden spoon. So I am yet again amazed that a concerned comment the other day should turn out to have taken a rather more sinister outcome.
