Ken Wells Hi Ken. There are very few places, where ancient rock is still in existence. Most of the tectonic plates are moving a couple of centimetres a year, towards subduction. Where the rock becomes molten, again. To come up as new rock, where there are volcanoes. Other young rock, is from erosion, layering, pressure, and time. For example, look at shale, and sandstone. Then there is old broken rock, mixed with newer rock, time, and pressure, gives marble etc. Sorry, I’ve forgotten the basic categories of rock. But if you read a bit on it. The geological world, becomes a fascinating place.
To us all rocks seem old. Until you understand the basic process of it.

Ouch, betrayal is a loaded word. How do you define betrayal? What was it? Was it intentionally against you. Or a partner, acting out their own trauma and fears.
Are you able to talk to them, in a not judgmental non accusing way. So they feel safe enough to open up?
Before doing anything drastic, see if you can have a heart to heart talk.
As adults, we still act out our childhood trauma.
I’m 64, and married, to the most beautiful woman. She thinks she is fat and unattractive. She says that her love for me, is deeper. Than the need for physical contact.
The thing that I desire the most, is to be touched in a loving accepting intimate way. More than being able to share passion and desire.
If I were able to experience this, with another person. Does not take away, my desire to be with my loved one.
We mess up, for fear of opening ourselves, and accepting each other’s vulnerability.

@questioneverything4491 Hi, That sounds like my idealistic view. I was married for 28 years. To an intelligent, capable, beautiful young woman. Who, as an infant, had numerous bowel surgeries. She went to sleep, with a blankie. I thought that with love and gentleness, she would feel safe. It never happened. In the end, she felt guilty, i was frustrated. And yes, she went for years, to three different therapists. I wasn't invited. Because that would have challenged her comfort level.

Why didn’t we think of that!!
All we have to do, is all stop what we are doing. Turn everything off, and the population goes back to a few million, problem solved.
It’s not the economic or political model at fault. Some are worse than others, like in China. Where you burn and pollute, to reach political production targets.
The problem is technology, and innovation.
We invent fire, weapons, language, we are no longer equal on the savanna.
Every time technology advances, in health, sanitation, agriculture, etc. Our population increases, thus consuming more, needing more space, more advance.

I totally got your message the first time. I’m in Canada. Where, I’m so grateful to be able to take my elderly parents to the hospital as needed. They are checked in, and out, like it was a hotel, (actually easier, and faster). With no direct cost to me. As a self employed, it’s nice to not be bankrupted, by your parents. Imagine the stress, taking your old dad to the hospital.
But our system is under the threat of, a strong business lobby. That wants us to be like the US. They can smell the huge profits. And currently, we have to pay our Dr’s crazy amounts, to discourage them from going south.

What about, the many layers of middlemen. The back and forth with the insurance companies.
I’m in Canada. My elderly parents, are on a revolving door basis, with their Dr’s, and the hospital. It is so simple, to check them in, and out, like a hotel. When in good enough shape to go home again, they go. Wether a few hours, or a week. Yes it’s us the taxpayer. But only having a single payer, for everything that is needed. Has to be cheaper, and Is far less stressful.
The joke here. Is there is a strong business lobby, trying to privatize our system.
Follow the money. Don’t be conned, by big business.
