There's another aspect of the discussion: My mother used to observe that no matter how adult one's children grew, they are still one's children for all of one's life. A parent does not stop caring and worrying about an adult child's welfare and happiness.

I was curious to see what you might think of these, which I originally posted on the "What is the Meaning of Life?" thread: The meaning of life is to cherish creation, uphold human dignity, and contribute to the ongoing communities to which one belongs.... Message 11331004 Jon, you cannot be happy if the focus of your life is on your petty, transient identity. You have to be a part of something larger, something that arouses your esteem, and can engage your commitment. That is one reason to learn history, read literature, study art: to appreciate the glorious artifacts of our civilization, and identify with its continued vitality. Also, philanthropy and politics can draw one out of brooding, and make one feel part of something worthwhile.The main thing is to become engaged by things that arouse your concern, and the rest will pretty much take care of itself.....
