“We come here with nothing
And we leave with nothing.
From birth to death, everything
is a gift.
Each person that passes our way
friend or foe, each comes with the
gift of learning.
Learning how to love, learning how
to set boundaries and learning how
to let go.”
~ C.E Coombes
I don’t care if you’re 20, 40, or 60.
You have to believe your best is still ahead of you and within you.
That belief alone can change the trajectory of your life at any stage. It’s energizing, life affirming, and likely carries real benefits for your health too.
@Pat_Stedman Or at least building something. A table, a business, writing a book. Literally anything. Stagnant time is very different from taking a breather. It can waste away years before you even notice.
Bad optics when you hide Epstein’s client list of powerful pedophiles under Fort Knox, but publish Trump’s would be assassins $150k bounty as fast as humanly possible.
Because I have the platform, I'll say this & likely erase later.
The recent Supreme Court decision isn't a win for any citizen, it's a win for the government.
The petty infighting that both parties benefit from, has served as effective distractors. As your government takes power for itself, you become more and more of a serf. The government has less & less accountability. Rules they don't have to follow, and ways they can impose upon you. From your health to quality of life.
Other citizens aren't your enemy....uniting with them is your greatest hope. So what if they are different from you? Deep down, people all want the same things. Good health, good quality of life, and to live in peace and the "pursuit of happiness" - whatever that means to you. Uniting with others who are not the same as you are, was your way of holding government accountable...of being a force. To apply pressure for them to actually do things you believe in with *your* money they take - to upgrade infrastructure, conquer big things like space or new health frontiers, provide for seniors, etc. or a million other things.
But instead we'll fight over petty issues, clickbait, and fall for slight of hand. They don't care about your social issues. They don't care about you, period. Not on either side of the aisle.
They care about power and self-enrichment...and our distraction and inability to be united on what really matters has served it up on a platter.
America is built on the foundation of freedom.
Everyone has their "take" and I guess that's mine.
Your government doesn't care about you, and they don't stand for you.
Time for us to stand for each other - that the only place the power is - they know that - and we're giving it away.
If we are united, we get to work for what we all want.
If we are divided, our government doesn't work for us - we work for our government.
Most anger and frustration is valid but misdirected...it is not your neighbor's fault, but a government that has long been left unaccountable and benefits from you attacking the wrong target.
Stand with each other. Be unpopular with your "political camp." Don't fall for citizens pitted against each other.
Expect better from your government.
It is not your savior. It is not your king.
Its power should be checked, or you will serve at it...and it will not serve you.
