a-TB talked of midlife crisis.
Many in midlife think of all kinds of possibilities on what they could have done instead of what they did in the past . They introspect and act to change it making it
worser than before.They end up damaging relationships, ruin marriages and run amok.Late thirties are a nightmare. Many break marriages, some end up satisfying
their itches outside, run after non existent lights in an unending dark tunnel.They go into a voyage of self discovery cursing themselves that they have been fools all
along. They make ill advised career changes. They change their living styles. Run after lifestyle gurus for salvation.If one can maintain balance in mid life , then one
has mastered living.
Recommend novel 'Herzog" by Saul Bellow.
Read during my idle days as a research scholar in IIT in late sixties.
