I wonder if I'm guilty of at least one of these sort of things, like the one where I always blame someone else for my problems? I can't watch the news anymore because I think I'm seeing all this left-wing bias in reporting, and that progressives are always attacking something I thought was a good, God pleasing, working well, and important tradition or practice in our nation. I feel like everything I used to believe in is slipping away, with tragic consequences for the future of the people who are attacking that system or method of achievement. I so often end up saying; "I'm just happy that I'm old enough now that I might be gone before this all implodes." It is a form of negativity that I wrestle with, that I might not have if I could just learn to let it go and maybe not care so much, if you know what I mean? Thanks for writing this list of self searching questions, John, because I don't want to be that person that no one wants to hang around with.

Good list. Absence of Christianity makes it all possible.
