Cloudy with a chance of depression
8 October 2020
What has happened to the world? How are people coping? Is it me or has the covid madness divided the world into politically opinionated factions, feverent believers of one source of information and haters of another, a mob of panic-stricken germ-obsessed people who, instead of welcoming an opportunity to meet a new person, bypass each other at a distant with that fearful look in their eyes that says, don’t come near, you’re about to kill my grandma. Even the nucleus of a flower on my desktop screen now looks like coronavirus, and the petals are irritatingly slimy and vulgar, like much of MSM.
For every tweet there is a retort, for every statement a bitchy response. Have people turned angrier or has twitter always been filled with rubbish? Is it just me viewing things through a cloud of lockdown-driven-depression?
My youngest child is playing with daddy while my oldest is with his grandparents. I have a few minutes alone to reset. Some days are magnificant and others are tricky – nothing new here. I’ve been trying so hard to keep up-beat and find inspiration to write, to create, or to do some work. And rarely do I feel bored, because there is always so much to do. My parents would be aghast at the idea of me being bored: “there is too much to do and no time for boredom!” And yet… every single day is the same and with kids having a strict and predictable routine (which, by the way, is fantastic and usually an absolute blessing) it does become monotonous.
World War I was dangerous – it gave the people information of how much people would put up with under pressure from the state.
What’s the problem with the state? Its existence.
Democracy central problem? Those who need leaders are not qualified to choose them.
Who doens’t need a leader? Free thinkers.
Teach kids 2 languages or 3. It teaches you to think more.
Definition switch. That’s their trick. Bilingual teaches you to think in concepts but if you only know 1 language you fall for definition switch – same word means 2 different things, and your brain will equate the two concepts if it’s the one word, whereas if you know another language you are going to think in concepts.
