Two soluble annadin, the sort doctors prefer, but then I did not make this extreme statement which appears to be aimed at people who do not share your world view.
"3) How the chronic and frivolous waste of time, hypersensitivity to self and insensitivity to other people can progress into such extreme human behaviors as incest, rape, pedophilia and pedera ...[text shortened]... ruination of other lives."
What about the suggestion in the second sentence of my post?

confession from Bergmans existentialist masterpiece, the Seventh seal is insightful,
with regard to life and regret not accomplishing all we had hoped to do.
DEATH
Yes, I hear you.
KNIGHT
I want knowledge, not faith, not suppositions,
but knowledge. I want God to stretch out His
hand towards me, reveal Himself and speak to
me.
DEATH
But He remains silent.
KNIGHT
I call out to Him in the dark but no one seems
to be there.
DEATH
Perhaps no one is there.
KNIGHT
Then life is an outrageous horror. No one can
live in the face of death, knowing that all is
nothingness.
DEATH
Most people never reflect about either death or
the futility of life.
KNIGHT
But one day they will have to stand at that
last moment of life and look towards the
darkness.
DEATH
When that day comes ...
KNIGHT
In our fear, we make an image, and that image
we call God.
DEATH
You are worrying ...
KNIGHT
Death visited me this morning. We are playing
chess together. This reprieve gives me the
chance to arrange an urgent matter.
DEATH
What matter is that?
KNIGHT
My life has been a futile pursuit, a wandering,
a great deal of talk without meaning. I feel no
bitterness or self-reproach because the lives
of most people are very much like this. But I
will use my reprieve for one meaningful deed.
DEATH
Is that why you are playing chess with Death?
KNIGHT
He is a clever opponent, but up to now I
haven't lost a single man.
DEATH
How will you outwit Death in your game?
KNIGHT
I use a combination of the bishop and the
knight which he hasn't yet discovered. In the
next move I'll shatter one of his flanks.
DEATH
I'll remember that.

4) The way these deeply troubled souls have long since abandoned any sustained attempts to live self examined lives, confronting challenges and resolving them. Rather, they've habitually lapsed into choosing to take the convenient way out of their miseries by looking the other way. By degrees they've moved from the cradle to a brief chapter of normal childhood to panic palace to some final cold water walk up flat, situated on a narrow street...

1) How is it that some seem to enjoy procrastinating, apparently unable to set correct
priorities, and in the process living out their lives wasting precious days majoring on
trivial pursuits and minor things?
