This is another reason why I stay away from religion. None of this shit makes sense or works and it's far too ridiculous for me to understand, like, or care about. 😵‍💫

Living the lives we want to live is important. I just hope that more people will want to make the world a better place for everyone and every living thing on the planet for having lived in it, and that seems a very unpopular attitude for all too many these days.

Yes, they are selfish, ignorant, and horribly indoctrinated to believe very stupid things. I hope there is some problem solving skills in their heads but I have yet to see it and I am losing hope. The human race is a fucking disaster.

The disasters get all the headlines, but there are lots of good people out there. The problem may well be that those with less are generally kinder than the wealthy. A friend told me yesterday that she had pulled into a rest area so her dog could pee, and there was

someone there living in his truck cab who also had a dog. He *might* have been developmentally disabled, but he came over and asked her if she had enough food for her dog, told her how important it was to care for animals, and offered to share his dog's food if she needed it. I have heard

someone say that the hardest part of being poor is having nothing to give. Remembering that in these times of cruelty and stupidity much worse than a developmental disability is one of the things that make it easier for me to hold on to hope. May you find things that strengthen you.

As Samwise Gamgee said to Frodo: There's good in the world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for. I know I'm not Frodo, but I'm trying to be Sam.

LOTR indeed. It's especially appropo these days. We are watching what was green and good being turned into darkness. The oligarchy recognizes it, or they would not have created Palantir. I used to think I would have liked living in Middle-Earth, but not without wizards and elves.
