I'm turning 80 next year and have made a conscious decision to focus on my family, my neighborhood, and my vegan community. Help wherever I can but still be aware of the big picture. Thanks Todd.
Didn't now for sure where you were going with this one when I first started reading it, but it turned out well. Linking once again @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/ It's been awhile since I've been able to link much from you, either from here or Off Guardian
Why has it been a while? I stopped writing for OG when some jerk there attacked me and threatened to kill me...not that I took him seriously, but I just don't like that energy...I tried to go back, but never heard from Kit.
That is my biggest comfort, that I will be dead and gone before the worst of what I believe to be coming is fact. I’ve done my share of public service and more recently trying to help others see the light. If you unhinged liberals want to destroy the kind of life I enjoyed then go for it. My conscience is clear. Just leave me alone. This late in the game I won’t be bowing to your mental illness.
You sound like me. Although I am willing to help where I can, all of this simply does not affect me the way it does a 30-year-old...especially one with a new family.
My minister used to joke: "Cheer up! You'll soon be dead." But he also suggested dying well and expressed a preference for martyrdom. I'm hoping for a painless passing in my sleep, oblivious that I've even passed away. Meanwhile, I want to make the best of the great gift of life, e.g., the sacrifices of my mother and others who've helped me. I owe them that.
I hear ya...everyone wishes for a death while asleep!! Now a days that has become rather rare due to medicine's constant intervention, and everyone believing quantity is better than quality.
Quando sollevo alcune perplessità capita che qualcuno mi dica che sono troppo preoccupata e che questo potrebbe farmi male. Io invece ribatto che non sono preoccupata, ma che voglio solo restare informata e consapevole. Grazie Todd per aver espresso così bene questo pensiero, adesso avrò modo di spiegarmi meglio
Happy Monday! First off, I love the playdough monkey meme and I laughed out loud when I saw it. :)
I think there are many who live in a constant or near constant state of denial. Just look at all the addictions. Are we not denying reality of life in some way and to avoid that we zone out with something?
We all likely need a rest from the troubles in our lives (country/world). We can't stick our heads in the sand but maybe we need to embrace, "Let go and Let God" more. Like-minded people help unless it turns into a frenzied mob vs the very happy and peaceful Trucker Convoy we witnessed in 2022.
I have the Serenity Prayer hanging in my office for the last 30 years and I often read it as a way to ground myself in today's world.

I feel sorry for young people but if they don’t care then why should I?

Exactly! I choose to contribute only good efforts in the time I have left
