What is a fulfilled life? Is there actually something like that? I know of a person whose Father in Law (FIL) is in the hospital bed and it is not looking too good. The persons’ (not the FIL) wife is feeling all stressed and depressed. From my previous conversations with that family and my acquaintance, I never felt that this lady really like her dad. But now when he is into possibly in the last days, this lady is fretting. She is not able to see her parents as she herself is rehabilitating from a surgery and lives Down Under, while her dad is all the way up in X. which is a good 20 hour flight journey.

What is it to be out of work? Ask a person who is in such a state. You are educated, organized and the go to man, when you had a job. Now suddenly when you are out of work and yu look for a job, the same experiences that made you the go to man, now makes you over qualified and too expensive. You don’t fit the bill anymore. When you apply for a junior role, they think you will leave because you have too much of experience. When you apply for an equivalent seniority role in another sub domain, they say that you don’t have enough experience in that domain. It is catch 22 - ask someone who is in that spot
