Please, allow me to vent and to listen to myself talk. And come along, if you want, on a trip through my mind (I apologize in advance for how the messy it is😉.):
Are you exhausted? I am. I am sick and tired of all the craziness out there, all the chaos, fighting, hate, lies, fear-mongering, violence, increasing prices (for less product or services), natural disasters, wars, rumors of wars, AI this-and-that, Big Pharma, social deviance/immorality, efforts to force people to tolerate social deviance/immorality, political posturing and mudslinging and nonsense, etc.
I'm done with it. I just so done with it all. "You can stop the world now, God. We wanna get off."
I am sick of both social media and the news - because everyone just wants to fight, scream their opinions, demand their way, calls names, make accusations, and force everyone else to agree with them and do things their way. Everything's an "us vs them" thing, and "if you don't agree with 'us' then you're a bad bad person who shouldn't be here." It's sick. And everyone reacts to soundbites and snippets, instead of getting the whole story and wisely responding. There are no attempts to understand, to really listen, to connect, to talk through things, to be tolerant of other opinions. (Maybe younger people don't know this because they've been fed bad definitions, but tolerance used to be about respectfully agreeing to disagree with someone, allowing others to have different opinions, even ones you don't like or agree with. But now - due to social brainwashing - it's about supporting, affirming, condoning everyone else's view, over and above your own... or else you're "intolerant.")
