26. We Live in the CRAZY TIMES! To keep ones Grounding & Sanity
Tue Oct 14, 2014, 08:20 PM
Oct 2014

to get through this will be a Herculean Effort.

Keep our wits about us...go back into our core of beliefs and not allow ourselves to "go off the rails" when all around us swirls with "mans inhumanity to man"...."women's inhumanity to other women."

The Death & Destruction around us and paid for with our taxpayer money rocks many of us to our moral foundations. It causes confusion and hardship and some strike out and others strike themselves from within.

WHOSE FAULT? Where lies the BLAME? Is it WITHIN US ....or WITHOUT?

Taste of that in the 50's through the 60's....those who have been through the First Battle.

We SHALL SURVIVE. But, maybe a different solution than went before will be what sets us back to our "Grounding" to make sense of all of it?

Just me trying to figure it all out and cope.. 's Been there...got through it...things got better for awhile...and now the EVIL IS BACK....but, up to those of us still here to deal with it once again. Eventually we will make reforms/progress. Somebody's got to do it while the memories are still alive. Otherwise...WHO WILL? Who will have the knowledge?

Just me...being reflective.....
