for better or worse
Posted , 3 users are following.
After having no sleep yet again and laying down staring blankly at my tv screen all night I yet again find myself facing the horror of what human beings are capable of? We have leeders that think nothing of dropping bombs on innocent civilians, we have people blown out of the sky for wanting no more than a holiday or to see friends or family. The depths to which mankind can sink brings tears to my eyes as this is reality, it's not a scary movie dreampt up by someone with a warped imagination, the people on that plane are really dead? Men /women/ children? The bombs being dropped in Gaza arnt dummies dropped for affect for a lens to capture they are real the same as the ones directed at isreal. For centuries these tit for tat wars have gone on and no lessons have been learnt. There will never be an end to war, mankind is destined to destroy itself unfortunately mankind now has the power to also destroy the world so no one will survive. I am seriously thinking of selling my home and assets and moving to an island somewhere and live off the land, no tv, in essence bury my head in the sand. Not know what's going on in the wider world, just a little veg patch to maintain and leave the horror of reality behind me. For better or worse. Maybe join a commune here in England if there are any left. Would my mind be able to cope with the change? Do I have what it takes to make such a transition. Is the writings of nostradamus coming to fruition. I don't know. Certainly seems like.

Agree with you about the people who give advice after just reading a few books. Sadly a lot of people in forums do that. And then get mouthly if they read something that someone else has said that they do not approve of. Rather childish and says a lot more about them than the person they are commenting on. I think one of the problems here is that most of the people posting have nowhere else to be listened to. They are not professional people who can sell their opinions so they come here and voice here. Then they read what other people say and very often misunderstand it or get it into their head that it was unfair or whatever, when they are not even qualified to work that out.
It is good to realise you cannot give advice on something if you are not qualified in it but most of us are knowledgeable and qualified in something, particularly when we get to a certain age. I worked hard for my qualifications and am very glad I did. They gave me a good income, a lovely house and an opinion that counts.

You know I used to watch the news and read newspapers and then get very upset. A few months ago I caught a video online quite by chance and then wished I had not seen it. It was a video of young army recruits laying goats down on tables - the goats would lay there shaking and petrified - the army recruits stood there laughing and laughing at how much fun it was - and then one by one cut off the goats legs with secateurs. Saying this was part of their training. I had nightmares and got so angry for a long time. Even if it was part of their training (whichmade no sense to me anyway) why did they have to laugh aqnd enjoy it? I love animals and hate any form of cruelty. The famous psychiatrist Raj Persaud says when it comes to worrying give 30 mins to each problem or decision and spend it working out what you can do to make it better. Beyond 30 mins is a waste of time. And if it is something you cannot do ANYTHING about don;t even start to think about it. It does not mean that you are mean or selfish or hard it is for self preservation and to stp yourself wasting a lot of emotional energy and time.
