I'm working my butt off to prepare for retirement. I want that retirement to be happy. If ignoring the truth that I can't control eliminates some unhappiness I think I will take that path.

At some point I can see myself not caring just for the simple fact that NOTHING I can do will change the outcome.

I admire your tenaciousness. You obviously care about a lot of things. And hopefully that makes you happy.
I have been retired now for 21 years.

I was unhappy with liars and "users" before. Retired, and guess what..truth has not changed and my unhappiness with liars hasn't either, nor do I want to change to be "wired" to accept liars.

I ALWAYS want to care.
