Lord Jim and Midlife Crisis

[Guest]

Just a question if I may, has any other males, or females for that matter, felt that there was something they had not yet done that would make their life have some sort of value, something that would define their time spent on this world ? Someone once told me there was this thing called the Lord Jim Syndrome that happens after you turn forty, if that's a bit cryptic may I suggest reading some Joseph Conrad or viewing the film of that title. Who knows, maybe it's just my mortality creeping up on me but I'd like to think there's something more I can accomplish that posting 'witty' remarks here for the generl amusement of all.....

Dead normal, Fallen. I began postging here just to get typing again - I'd been blocked for years. It's working. Yes, after 40 something each day seems like a gift to be used 100% plus. Lit has helped me do that - but beware addiction - it is always possible to walk away, but the friends will stay in my heart when I do.
