Issues are an interesting thing. When I say "issues" I am talking about the internal/psychological struggles that everyone seems to go through at some time in their life. These can range from small, short term struggles to deep, even neurotic, debilitating psychoses. The thoughts that are plaguing me in this regard are "how"?
When we do a wide, brief survey of modern man, we see a wide range of people. Rich, poor, beautiful, ugly, talented, awkward, gifted, average, educated and ignorant. But all of these have issues, some more, some less and most in people that one would not expect. The great modern lie of America is that having lots of money, power, fame and external beauty will make one happy. But it simply does not work that way. In all honesty, it seems that the wealthier or powerful one becomes, the more issues surface.
In my semi educated, semi informed opinion, the foundation for all of this is family. I would argue that the more solid and loving a family in which one grows up, the higher quality of life one will have. A loving family will provide for the basic needs of life, will instill a sense of value, will provide a healthy self esteem and will provide a sense of importance of loving others.
If one does not have a stable, loving childhood, these things will not have been instilled and the person will have to find these things later in life, which, without a solid foundation, is increasingly difficult and will possibly lead to wrong choices and later issues.
