I reckon I'm Australian

[Bally002]

It seems to be happening world-wide, this take-over by the possessed youth.

I too am getting up in years, and seeing my country being burned and them trying to turn it into a third world country gets my blood boiling.

Every religion, belief system, whatever you want to call it, all predict the same things happening in the last days. Maybe they use different words to describe it, but it's the same thing: A spiritual battle between good and evil.

Being as I think there are many more people good at heart than evil ones, I have to hold on to that faith that good will win in the end. They predicted that too.

Right now, we are in the battle, but eventually, we will come out the other side and the evil ones will have been defeated.
We'll all live in a better world someday. I hang on to that hope, because without hope, we have nothing.

I see that.  I am now 'semi-retired' in my speak.  Meaning I cut wood for chump change and do volunteer work as part of the small community I live in which was pretty well decimated by the bush-fires last November.  

In saying that I tried to do the right thing back then in an Aussie spirit and locked arms with the fire.  In my part of the rural bush county I was the only one.  It was a long night.  I only saved 2 houses.  Mine and the neighbours. 85 others were lost.  To me that was my Australian upbringing.  And guess what.  Because I was insured I missed out in grants.  Not sore about that.  Though you might guess otherwise.  What gets my goat up is others that own houses elsewhere and barely lived on their rural blocks getting the grants while those poor soles who lost everything get very little support because, simply, they get on with their lives.  They are the silent minority of 'fair dinkum' Australians and not bludgers.  The others who are raping the system are Aussies but to my mind, not 'true blue' Australian.

I dunno.  I thought the funding, gifts and grants were supposed to go to those who really deserved it.  I don't want anything to do with that system.  Me and 'true love' are happy to carry on.

This is a reflection of my post regarding what I thought being an Australian was all about.  Don't give up and help your neighbours.  I think it's because I'm old fashioned.

Kind regards, I heartilly take heed of your post.
