    I like my society for the most part. As a culture it is accepting and at the battlefront in dealing with key note health issues like HIV, public concerns like Syphilis and anything else that comes up. On one hand I love seeing people of all walks of life and preferences walk around and on another I think we are being more accepting and I don’t think I can live in a bigoted environment so this is home although people here can be nicer to one another.

I don't like urban life, how self-important people are, thinking they've got somewhere important to go, the cultural starvation, consumerism, lack of dignity and spirituality of our times, selfishness, shallowness, irrelevance etc...

    There’s lots of spirituality in the city. The churches, the way people are concerned for the welfare of others. It’s not perfect but it’s headed the right way. We are improving and learning.

    Total opposite of me. I want to be among people just get tired of interacting. @Sol how do you type Dauphine?

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    Not in Sweden. There's the political lobby organisation known as Church of Sweden, there's the Pentecostals and then there's the Catholic Church. All of them are very small here, and none of them appeal to me. This country is in spiritual starvation.

    Oh I’m sorry to hear that.

    Is that really so? Over here in Holland (a country that culturally has a lot in common with the Nordic countries) the number of people visiting churches are declining rapidly, but it does not mean people are getting less spiritual. It only means they are no longer members of a formally organized religion, but they do believe in something. In Dutch we call this 'ietsisme´, freely translated that means they believe in 'something-ism'. Like many other aspects of life, religion iand spirituality ncreasingly are becoming something highly individualistic.

    A lot of people over here believe that Holland is becoming less religious as well (which is also a matter of wishful thinking), but sociological research shows this is not the case. Only the numbers of members of churches are in rapid decline.
