Do you ever feel like maybe you were born in the wrong century? That your morality and principles belong to a bygone era where logic and common sense were used to make important decisions instead of a collective set of emotions, and try as you may, you will never really fit into this age?
I've been in a really weird mood for lack of a better term. Part of it likely has to do with living in an age of madness where nothing makes any kind of sense. We have 'leaders' who seem hell bent on returning us to the 1950's where "White is Right" and destroying the planet is normal. Where a human fetus has rights but the woman carrying it is property to be controlled. A world where after the fetus becomes an actual human , those rights are shredded to ribbons and who gives a fuck if they eat or have a home. A world where human dignity has a dollar sign attached to it and if you don't have tons of money, then your life has no value unless it is in some way exploitable.
As I said, it is a weird mood. In a bid to keep my sanity, I have been avoiding the news and Facebook, but I checked the news today and well, here I am. I seem to forget that I have to maintain a certain amount of detachment or I am seriously going to fall into another depression. Because me, myself, and I are not enough to tackle all that is broken, and there is no coalition, no collaborative collective that is seriously doing anything more than beating a dead to death yet again with talk, talk, talk. I have signed petitions, spoken out, shared thoughts and my own opinions until my hands ache and my head hurts. And still the horror that is humanity's inhumanity continues to become more and more self-destructive. After a time, you have to just realize that there really is nothing more that you can do as one person, you know?

Maybe I will find something happy to blog about later. I really just needed to vent all this out somewhere so it will quit spinning around in my brain.

Well, at least there are two of us, eh? I swear some days I just wake up out of bed pissed off already. What the hell, man? How has shit spun so far out of control, how have we, with all this fucking technology, failed to evolve and grow emotionally as well as intellectually?

I am so sick of the news media in all forms. Thank fully I do not have TV at home to irritate me. Walking on the curbside has another tale: in Europe it started so if anyone threw slops out the upstairs windows she would not get any on her

I actually knew that one! OMG, that is so not the era I belong in. Women rarely ever got a fair shake those days. And GOD forbid a woman should think for herself.
Ancient Greece, perhaps. In the age of Socrates.

I just can't keep up with the 'Noughties'. I'd be happy just to go back to the Seventies.....the 1970s!
If we were passing each other on a cliff edge and there was only room for one, I'd definitely let you toss me off the edge

And I would happily lay down and let you crawl over me....but you might have to make a...uh...pitstop when you cross over.
Weird you should say the seventies...I was listening to some old seventies music when I was writing. Roberta Flack to be exact.

Avoiding the news might work, but so too would getting it from a variety of sources. Things are rarely as black and white as depicted in most media these days. Endeavor to at least here the other side - then make your judgement. Mostl likely, the "truth" is somewhere between the two depicted extremes.

Media is as full of shit as the politicians, really. Right now I am boycotting all of it, media, politicians, climate change...I can't fix it so there is no point in letting it play with my head, you know?

This post makes so much sense!!
I keep watching the news and reading the newspaper though. Like you say, we are but one person....who listens to us.
I always walk on the curb side when walking with the Mrs....not so much to beat and automobile with my penis....or beat a dead horse....but for the sake of chivalry!

You are a true gentleman, Lok! And I say we start handing out beatings to all the politicians until morale improves!
