Buck up and look ahead

Re “Jobless spiral may define a generation,” March 7

Only a bunch of hand-wringers would let this recession “define” them. I lived through bad times in the ‘70s and ‘80s -- but they did not define my life or my generation.

Stop feeling sorry for yourselves. Go out and buy some lunch or dinner or fix up your house -- that will speed up the end of this problem. This too will pass.
