Probably the healthiest thing to do since that place is such a cesspool. I am so sick of the tribalism on on both sides of the aisle. I was so hopeful for the right for a while. There I was thinking that they were truly going to rise above all of this, but unfortunately, the right has turned into the left, but just with their own policies and agendas. I know it’s difficult when we get super emotional, but anyone who thinks this particular election is unique compared to previous ones, and that were in an existential crisis, is operating from a place of fear which is fundamentally not healthy for us. Fear is our enemy, our main enemy. Fear causes us to behave in ways we otherwise wouldn’t and to give up our values and liberties. The only thing to fear is fear itself. Democrats real discount into a dystopian place because of their fear, and sadly I’m beginning to see Republicans do the same.
Had a fun time this weekend at a birthday party and wanted to share my GIF. btw..I learned it's pronounced JIFF with a soft G not GIFF with a hard G. The more you know I suppose.
Kim, this post will be a little different, but worth your while.
Please skim the intro of this book (up to page 4 or pages 3-4) as it discusses something I think you'll find interesting. I will post the link to the PDF and paste a piece of it, below:
Crowley, Aleister - 1904 - The Book of the Law.pdf (free)
Exerpt: Consider the outcrop of dictatorships, only possible when moral growth is in its earliest stages, and the prevalence of infantile cults like Communism, Fascism, Pacifism, Health Crazes, Occultism in nearly all its forms, religions sentimentalised to the point of practical extinction.
Consider the popularity of the cinema, the wireless, the football pools and guessing competitions, all devices for soothing fractious infants, no seed of purpose in them. Consider sport, the babyish enthusiasms and rages which it excites, whole nations disturbed by disputes between boys.
Consider war, the atrocities which occur daily and leave us unmoved and hardly worried. We are children.
So the arguments over the ceasefire have already begun. Iran says that the agreement for a 2 week pause included Lebanon. Israel says it will carry on with it’s attempted land grab.
The Iranian leaders must be extremely patient because we all know that Israel will not be content until Iran has been Gazafied and it’s indigenous population are living like rats whilst the IDF takes potshots at them on a Friday afternoon!
Perhaps the real point of the ceasefire is to allow time for the US to set up the THAAD missile defence system recently relocated from South Korea
