It's difficult for all of us now to survive each new day with what is happening both in the U.S. and around the world. I found this morning especially difficult for some reason.
Two days ago we got bad news from three different friends which was difficult to withstand for us.
The first news was a friend of ours got cancer but that wasn't the worst news because this particular cancer likely can be treated with radiation successfully. The 2nd news was the worst news of all from another friend which was their daughter had died in a car crash who was in her middle 20s. This was the worst news of all. The third news was that a friend was visiting her relatives in Mexico and got coronavirus while there and was in the hospital. This was a lot to cope with on one day for my wife who was the one who received all this news first hand.
So, now it's two days later and we are starting to feel the changes rather than just processing it more intellectually which is what happens to people usually who actually have empathy and feelings for their friends and relatives and are emotionally capable of surviving successfully these outcomes in friends and relatives lives.
So, once again I write here at this blog trying to save even one more life while I'm still alive here on earth.
In my college days I tried to counsel people to prevent them from committing suicide a lot then. The late 1960s and early 1970s were a crazy insane time like now because of all the assassinations and the Viet Nam War killing boys my age right and left. So, people were self destructing a lot my age for a variety of reasons then because we felt our government had betrayed our whole generation (which it had) at that time.
Confidence in our government went from about 75% during these times down to about 11% or less now which is one of the reasons that we wound up with a president as bad and as destructive as Trump.
The American people are to blame for Trump. To not realize this is to not be a grown up.
