Writing can be very helpful to you and to others

I write because I find it healing and clarifying to write. It is like a meditation for me in making sense of a world that in some ways makes sense less every day. When I grew up in the 1950s life was pretty boring compared to now. There wasn't a lot going on. However, periodically humans were massacring each other in different parts of the world. But, it was mostly through ignorance and misunderstandings that this was happening. People tend to understand more than they did then all over earth.

However, the media is more fragmented now than then. At least we all listened to the same basic three networks which were CBS, NBC and ABC networks on TV so there was much more unanimity of thought in some ways because we all listened to the same three TV networks.

However, now, people have all sorts of different media and there aren't people fact checking a lot of these types of media which often are conspiracy theories masquerading as facts. This creates confusion especially in people with marked PTSD or other psychological problems and can result in Violence. Also, now with Deepfake talking online or videos we have more problems coming for people trying to figure out what is actually going on any given day.

It's surprising to me how much the demonstrations against Israel creating genocide in Gaza are like the Anti-War Demonstrations of 1968 regarding the Viet Nam War. I'm concerned Netanyahu and these demonstrations worldwide are going to end Israel as a nation as a direct result. 

There doesn't seem to be a useful solution for all of this at present especially with Netanyahu trying to not be put in jail by his supreme Court or by the World Court for Genocide of Gazans.

The point is that writing about your experiences with life here on earth can be helpful to others in many different ways even as others with psychological problems writing conspiracy theories is unhelpful to human survival on earth.

However, in some ways these types of things were always true. There have always been psychologically unbalanced people like Trump and other conspiracy theorists who don't tell the truth about anything. And there have always been rational people like myself and some others who actually weigh facts and don't sound like Used Car Salesmen trying to sell you a car that is a lemon all the time.

And just like in the past, hopefully the cooler more rational people will prevail so life continues here on earth and the whole human race isn't driven extinct by people like Netanyahu and Trump and Putin and Xi.
