I discovered that the root of my frustration was having too high expectations of my friends, rather than accepting the way they are (it's foolhardy to attempt to change other's set ways anyway). Then on a whim, I spent last Friday evening with some younger acquaintances who were more optimistic and bullish on life, and who also had a more carefree attitude. They reminded me of the way I was a decade ago, which I found amusing. I remember going home full of energy, thinking, 'well, I guess the world isn't going to the dogs after all'.
