Exactly. There have been some members that I once respected and looked forward to their insight, that I have watched get sucked up into the whirlpool of deception, hate, and hostility.
It is a new world and we are under attack. It is not just truth that will save us from a dismal future. We have to be willing to face what that truth is telling us, and we have to reject the primordial and instinctive reactions that they are able to manipulate in us.
No one that is human is immune to their methods. We may not be in control but we can control how we react and how we respond. Every time I feel myself being sucked in, I walk away. I take a walk through the 100 acre woods. I look at my plants, weed a little, water a little as needed. I drop off a little extras to my neighbors, or walk over to my brother's and play Rummikub for a while. Little things that reconnect me to reality.
My neighbors have developed a closer sense of community in the last four months. there is a genuine loving and joy when we see friends, neighbors and familiar faces. This is not what they want. So this is what we should be doing and growing. Love, compassion, civility. There are no roving gangs in my area, and there never will be. I doubt if you will ever see such a thing outside of the media.
We can't let them bait us. We can't fall for the lies and the grand deception.
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.
