Charles thinks that feelings like angst, disgust and anger may fade because as we get older we learn to care less about what others think of us, or perhaps because we become more adept at avoiding situations we don't like. (The Edinburgh researchers, too, found that older study participants scored lower than younger ones on scales of neuroticism - worry and nervousness - and higher on scales of agreeableness.) Oswald chalks up the midlife dip in happiness shown in his study to people "letting go of impossible aspirations" - first, there's the pain of fading youth and the realization that...

...Timorese army was dismissed following a strike protesting discrimination against soldiers from the west of the country. The government had used the army to crush the strike with great brutality: at least five men died and many more were wounded. Reinado led his men into the mountains in disgust. He had since eluded capture, using his intimate knowledge of the mountain and bush tracks of his eastern homeland, while a network of loyal villagers with mobile phones kept him apprised of the movements of United Nations Police and the troops of the Australian-led International Stabilisation Force...
