40 years old and in the middle pof a divorce as at the start of December 2009. I am starting to take a more insular approach to life and concentrating on my own imperative. I feel that over the past few years I have deviated from my catagorical imperative - I have begun to compromise which has doneme no good at all. People will either succeeed on their own merits or will try and ride on the coat tails of others to exploit their success. I will have to be more like the first and less susceptable to the second.
