                         %ATTITUDES TOWARD PROBLEMS 861127

     The problems we face depend in part upon the behavior
of  other people.   The attitudes with which we choose  to
approach   our   problems  and  other  persons   are   our
responsibility.    Immature  persons often seek  to  blame
other  persons  for both the problems which they face  and
the attitudes with which they approach their own problems.
Such  immature  people  act as if they were  not  free  to
select  the attitudes with which they  approach their  own
situations. They are in effect saying that their attitudes
are  under the  control  of other people,  including their
enemies. They choose the role of victim,  even  as regards
their most private behavior, and blame others for the role
they play.

     The  quality  of  our  lives  depends  more  upon the
attitudes we choose as we approach situations,  than  upon
how we and others define, select, and solve problems. This
means  that the quality of our lives do not depend as much
upon   the  fates  which  cast  us  into  certain   trying
situations, as upon the attitudes we choose as we face and
cope in the situations in which we find ourselves.
