Yeah.
I'm more prepared to die than ever before.
Birth and death are 2 sides of the same unimportant silly little coin.
Life itself is not a lie.
It's real, but it's obviously temporary.
Eternal life IS a lovely idea, but a lie.
No proof.
Acceptance of reality (hard or impossible for some) is beautiful, and IMO is peace.
Hi,
Recent events have changed my perspective on how I think about the United States. I do believe we were a great country who made the world a better place. I thought, for the most part, we were smart, intelligent and a caring people. Now, just as our rainforests are disappearing, so our areas of cultural consensus are disappearing. I see a people who are rather stupid, and have lost their way. Its falling down, down the rabbit hole. Each group demands something for itself in a never ending pursuit of some want or demand. I call them the ride catchers. BlackLivesMatter turns into People of color demand......To wear or not wear masks turns into Individual rights over Public Health Policy. Public Health Policy turns into fragments of gentle words uttered by the CDC that these suggestions are just suggestions.
Personally, I do think we are in chaos, No more the great USA. The mentally unstable Orange Man rules and we are as unstable as he is. I wonder if its an infectious disease.

Thanks @missy. Entertaining read: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/generation-alpha-after-gen-z_l_5d420ef4e4b0aca341181574
It’s been a roller coaster of a year so far... heartbreaking divorce, moved to city, great new job, awful bushfires, epic hail storm, Covid-19, nearly losing job due to company losses & dealing with unwell parents!My perspective is I’m more resilient than I knew.
Bring on 2021....
