There are days when I have difficulty leaving my home. The news reports are full of death, destruction, violence, threats of violence and empty rhetoric. I get so angry when I hear these things, I get so frustrated. And then I realize that the same souls have been making the same accusations, the same attacks, been justifying their own twisted logic with their god for centuries; the same stunted souls keep repopulating the planet. Or maybe other souls encounter hardship and fall backward, losing understanding and enlightenment. I don't know. But it's a sad thing to look at your species and see the base animality. I need to hear stories of cooperation and understanding. I need to hear voices of reason. A little bit each day, I put up defenses to ward myself against this constant onslaught. A little bit each day, I close myself off to others. It's not right, it's not how I want to live.

Me neither. But it seems as though we have no choice. *This* is how it is. And all we can do is change it one person at a time.

Yeah, I know the feeling. It seems to come up on us in waves sometimes. That's when i have to back away from the news and the poltiical discussions, at least a little bit, before it drives me into real despair.

I recommend some personal therapy time...get a food/beverage you like and indulge in a book or movie or computer game that makes you happy. It's never a "waste of time" to power down and refresh for a bit.

Or maybe find a better side to that base animality...like hot sex. :)
