Being fired from a job is quite catastrophic, even immobilizing to the extreme. How did being fired?

It's a drastic blow to one's self-esteem when they get canned from a job they actually wanted to be at. It's a grieving process to go through the loss of a job. At the end of the tunnel, you will find something more suited.

It's just a matter of getting there, by working on yourself.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
