Clint Eastwood Said Something About Getting Old That Stopped Me Cold.
Aging is not gentle.
You are still here. Still present. Still watching the world move. But the body that carried you through everything - the wars, the work, the wildness of youth - begins to ask for more than you can give it. Joints that never complained now speak up in the morning. Eyes that once took in everything now flinch at the light. Breathing, which never required a single thought, starts needing little pauses.
But none of that is the hardest part.
The hardest part is the quiet.
At a certain age, you reach for the phone and remember there is no one left to call.
The people who knew you when you were young - who remembered the same summers, the same streets, the same faces
- are gone. One by one, then all at once, until the memories you carry have no one left to share them with.
So you tell the stories anyway.
To whoever will listen. With a little more color than perhaps the truth deserves. With a touch of pride you've earned and a grief you don't always name. You know the person across from you wasn't there. You know they can't quite feel it the way you do.
But you tell them. Because the telling is the holding on.
Those stories are not just memories. They are the proof that a life was lived. That people were loved. That things mattered.
And if no one asks for them - you offer them anyway, quietly, like setting something down on a table and hoping someone picks it up.
Old age is not simply what happens to a face or a body.
It is memory looking for a place to rest.
And what an older person needs - more than advice, more than solutions, more than someone telling them how to feel - is simply someone willing to sit down, be still, and listen.
Not to fix anything.
Just to be there.
That is the whole gift. And it costs nothing.

"Canadians deserve to know that their experiences matter," he says. "Many have suffered in silence, and their country should be willing to listen."

For the record, @TerryGlavin and the @nationalpost wrote this article four years ago.

Their initial 2021 reporting also contained caveats that excavations would be needed for conclusive proof.

It took four years and the courage by outlets like the NP to get to this point.

[Thomas Sowell Daily @DailySowell]

Thomas Sowell:

“The Soviet Union was one of the most richly supplied countries with natural resources—and probably the most richly supplied.”

“The irony is, one of the world’s great famines occurred in the Soviet Union ... Milton Friedman once said that if the government took over the Sahara Desert, there’d be a shortage of sand. The Soviet Union was just that way.”

Winston Churchill fought his depression with bricks. He'd lay them for hours at his country home in Kent. He joined the bricklayers' union. And in 1921 he wrote about why it worked. It took psychology another 75 years to catch up.

He called his depression the "Black Dog." It followed him for decades. His method for fighting it back was as basic as it sounds: laying brick after brick, hour after hour.

Churchill spelled out his theory in a long essay for The Strand Magazine. People who think for a living, he wrote, can't fix a tired brain just by resting it. They have to use a different part of themselves. The part that moves the eyes and the hands. Woodworking, chemistry, bookbinding, bricklaying, painting. Anything that drags the body into a problem the mind can't solve by itself.

Modern psychology now calls this behavioral activation. It's one of the most-studied depression treatments out there. Depression sets a behavior trap. You feel bad, so you stop doing things, and doing less means less to feel good about. Feeling worse makes you do even less. The loop tightens until you can't breathe inside it.

Behavioral activation breaks the loop from the action side. You schedule the activity first, even when every part of you doesn't want to. Doing it produces small rewards: a wall gets straighter, a painting fills in, a messy room gets clean. Those small rewards slowly rewire the brain. Action comes first, and the feeling follows.

Researchers at the University of Washington put this to the test in 2006. They studied 241 adults with major depression and compared three treatments: behavioral activation, regular talk therapy, and antidepressants. For the people who were most severely depressed, behavioral activation matched the drugs. It beat the talk therapy. A 2014 review of more than 1,500 patients across 26 trials backed up the result.

Physical work like bricklaying does something extra on top of this. It crowds out rumination, the looping bad thoughts that grind people down during the worst stretches of depression. Bricklaying needs both hands and gives feedback brick by brick: each one is straight or crooked. After an hour you can see exactly how much wall you built. No room left for the mental chewing.

The line George Mack used in his post, "depression hates a moving target," is good poetry. The science behind it is sharper. Depression hates a brain that has somewhere else to be.

🚨 BREAKING

Carney just announced $270 million more for Ukraine.

In Armenia.

At a European summit.

Canada’s total to Ukraine: $25.8 BILLION

Remember, just this week he also cut:

$1.2 billion from mental health

$600 million from long-term care

$500 million from rare disease drugs

These are cuts to seniors and sick Canadians at home.

Let’s not forget that 2 million Canadians are using food banks & youth unemployment is at 18%

He said “all of Canada is behind Ukraine.”

All of Canada is also behind on groceries.

Very Important Message!!

Do NOT, and I repeat do not buy plants treated with Neonicotinoids. Bees take the pollen back to the hive and feed it to the brood.

This is a number one cause of the colony collapse. It's important to NOT buy these plants!

BREAKING: A Presidential permit has been approved for a new bitumen pipeline that will initially deliver more than half a million barrels per day of Alberta oil to facilities and refineries throughout the United States. This project is a joint venture between two great Canadian and US companies South Bow and Bridger using existing assets.

After years of advocacy from our government, and following the signing of the Canada-Alberta Energy Agreement last year, the federal government has lifted their oil and gas production cap. This means Alberta producers will be able to produce more of the oil that the world needs. It’s incredible to see that work already paying off with announcements like this.

The US is our most important trading partner and we will continue to deliver energy to help secure North American energy dominance.

Carney did NOT create a sovereign wealth fund.

Carney announced a debt-fuelled corporate slush fund.

The government is more than $1 trillion in debt.

Carney will borrow $25 billion more. Dump it into a fund. Then gamble your money on risky corporate handouts.

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

Canada is not a democracy. It's not even a free nation anymore.

How could it be when Parliament is sidelined for eight months, allowing the executive branch to reign unchecked?

Or when foreign interference is ignored and elections are gamed?

Or when courts rule that the government broke the law and nothing changes?

Or when the state controls your speech, your property, your energy, your news, your guns, your healthcare—and offers you assisted suicide when the wait times get too long?

Canada has become something else: a managed oligarchy with democratic trappings, where the individual exists to serve the state.

Look how far Canada has fallen. Because this could be America's future overnight.
