While the phrase used as the Title to this column has been around for many, many years it’s actual significance seems to remain minimal, at best. The phrase is commonly used as an acknowledgement rather than as a genuine inquiry between humans. The time to change that has, truly, come. In the year 2023 America has found itself in something some are calling a “mental health crisis.” In truth the “crisis” today was just as prevalent well before COVID-19, the difference seems to be that people are starting to realize, sometimes, life just SUCKS! While few of us were around during the Great Depression (other than as very young children) we all, likely, got a taste of what it was like growing up at that time. Then, many American families lived in poverty or at its almost literal edge. Now, American families have been isolated albeit not because of poverty but because of a near total lack of face to face interaction with friends, family and associates.
