Apologies needed?

Sorry if i've been less helpful than i should lately. I've been selfish. I want more time to myself. I want to help but i feel too burdened. Sorry to anyone who feels that i've not been a good friend recently. Bleah.

Now to share something with anyone who feels down in life, for whatever reasons. Here's a short extract from the book, The Road Less Travelled by M. Scott Peck. I think there's great truth in it although it may sound simplistic or commonsensical:

Life is difficult.
This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. (The first of the 'Four Noble Truths' which Buddha taught was 'Life is suffering'.) It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult - once we truly understand and accept it - then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.

Most do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. Instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. They voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their speciies, and not upon others.
