Today, during a casual conversation, an elderly lady shared something that deeply moved me. She told me that her husband had recently passed away, but they had decided together not to have a funeral. The reason? Their family always had an excuse not to visit or even call. So, they chose not to "burden" their busy lives by making them attend a funeral.
But what truly shocked me was when she revealed that she hadn’t even notified the family of his passing. I asked how they would react when they eventually found out, and after a brief pause, she firmly said:
"If they didn’t care enough to see or speak to him while he was here, I refuse to let them see or speak about him now that he’s gone."
She explained that her husband was an excellent cook and always invited them to dinner. But the response was always the same: "I’m busy," or worse, complete silence. Holidays, birthdays, anniversaries… always ignored.
After much prayer, she made a bold decision: she sold their home and belongings, moved to a small apartment in the city, and started anew.
Then, she looked me in the eyes and said something I will never forget:
"Darling, when you realize you are no longer important to someone – even family – you have to make yourself the most important thing."
At that moment, my heart broke, but I also realized I had just met the most courageous person I have ever known.
We have finally become fully separated from our senses & reality itself. People don’t believe anything they see or hear, & reality is no longer fixed or shared. The stories we are encouraged to tell ourselves help us excuse & ignore all the horrors & human rights violations. And EVERYTHING is about aggressively protecting the 0.1%, no matter what. We won’t last long this way.
If we lived in a truly free society then sure who cares if people go bust online sports betting
but we pay for their social services when they go bankrupt, for their ER visits from increased alcoholism, and for the police as domestic violence rates continue to skyrocket
I'm so goddamn sick and tired of extremes.
Where are the adults? The thinkers? The scraps of common sense? It's all a bunch of liars lying, convincing dull masses of those lies, which the dull masses then fiercely shout down the "other side" with if their delusion is countered.

Why I no longer call mobile crisis teams. These teams are designed to help a person in crisis but calling them is often a waste of time. When @tarafaul503 and I call it usually takes over an hour for them to arrive and sometimes not at all. When they do arrive their job is to
