16. So Much Information To Delve Into...
Sun Dec 7, 2014, 10:33 AM
Dec 2014

Bookmarking for my reference. My problem is that TOO MANY PEOPLE just can't take enough time to even listen to me when I talk about this situation. My own family even tells me I'm too obsessed and need "other outlets" that won't disturb me!

It infuriates me to no end and I have so much bottled up inside me when it comes to trying to inform others. I have grandchildren and wonder what they will have to deal with in the future. There are days I can almost convince myself that in time they will "see the light" and fight back. But mostly I think I live in a world of See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil! To me what I see and hear on a daily basis DOES fill my head with all types of information I want to share, but as I said the conversations with others are very slim.

I could list the excuses they give me, they are long and I do understand that people work, go to school and their time is limited when it comes to digging deeper into problems. Still, I have a feeling that I need to tape my mouth shut because very few people will sit down and listen.

But, I WILL sit down and read this, feel very outraged and probably lose some sleep over it. I do want to thank you for spending so much time on your end and for posting this. I know we use so little of our brains so I'm sure I can log it into a place up there and perhaps have a chance to make others aware.

Thank You For Sharing cantbeserious Dec 2014 #1
