Absolutely SPOT ON !!

Just getting tuned in on the homeless conversation. Addictions, homelessness, ID's, joblessness...... The solution would be helped by more people who "care". Genuine concern, not political aspirations or grandiose public contributions, etc. Boots on the ground and in the community...

I mostly agree. Although I think much of the world is in close pursuit of us. We seem to be rapidly approaching a world in which a handful of billionaires equipped with AI and social media will control almost every corner of the earth. All I can do is prepare a nest in the corner of the...

If ignorance is bliss, please, I'll take a dose of it. Hoping you can all find some serenity in this chaotic world. There's a wonderful video of some Special Olympics kids running a race. One of them falls and struggles to get going. All of the others stop racing and rush back to their...

To Lost In The Woods, That was a mouthful. A very well said mouthful. So much truth in that. Even the squirrels in my squirrel cage related to that.

I started writing a simple answer. When it reaching 3,000 pages I erased it all. Started over. Throughout history all societies have had to deal with evil psychopathic leaders, either invading them, or of their own. I feel your unease and alarm. I have sleepless nights. But they don't do...

Found a beautiful park and spent 3 hours enjoying nature and beautiful sunshine outdoors when I was supposed to be working. It's what I needed to be alive again. Maybe the job needs to go. Or dramatically change. Way too tense without my outdoor life. Being outdoors only 1% of my life makes...

Everything helps. I too am looking for hitherto unused methods for positive outreach that I can use to help. The Serenity Prayer is not only a good help, but a useful guide if I allow it to be. Wishes for strength and serenity to all! Wish I had more to give but running a little low on optimism...

Helping myself cope. Redoubling my efforts to tune out the news and refocus on positive avenues in my life. I'm no good to anyone else if I'm no good to myself. Sometimes its minute by minute, second by second. I have to drive from Wisconsin to Wyoming over the next three days. 1100 miles. It...

Another day in America. Today, did we: *Bomb another country in "surprise"? *Kidnap the leader of another foreign country? *Have masked law enforcement gangs shoot and kill citizens and teachers in our communities and label them terrorists and refuse to investigate? *Insult and degrade out...

Helping somebody else cope. Even if it is only through listening. Also by turning off the negative feeds in my life, such as news. Doing something or saying something nice to a household member. Sometimes it takes 3 things to budge the needle 1%....

Absolutely true. May we soon find leaders rather than politicians. May we find leaders who seek peace, not violence.

Amen to that. Your last sentence rings so true. Thanks.

The Serenity Prayer.

I chose to fight against an abusive workplace. Three of my workmates committed suicide. One died at work trying to meet a production quota. Hundreds were fired so that their pensions could be seized by the company prior to vesting. They were replaced by workers who then had no insurance. And...
