...but beware of the escape valve, the professional gurus -- psychiatrists, priests, social workers, life coaches -- those they are trying to save are simply sentimental objects, symbolic capital in their drive to broadcast their ego and agenda across the cosmos.
A good lesson. I quietly hope that many, many will read it. And, if they are able to, Think! I nevertheless live now in a bit of quiet fear and (loathing) anger. Hunter S. always recalls to me The Man In The High Castle ……..Thanx for writing, as always. ☯️

Lies
We eat lies for breakfast lunch and dinner.
We eat lies for our bed time snack.
We don’t know this to be false nutrition
But we see changes in our bodies:
Odd pains in odd places. Pains that will, over time, kill us
Lies are like Auto accidents. Consequences unpredictable, chaos rules.
I had a lie puke just the other day. I was stuffed
Full of bullshit. The sheer volume of it
Was disgusting and when I looked around
I saw all the other liars pretending not to puke
Pretending not to lie or pretending to believe the lies
Spread by others. Lies kill. Lies maim. Lies lead to murder
And suicide.
Our salvation is in doubt. We haven’t acquired the habit of
truth. We don’t know what truth looks like.
We’re so inured to lies by this time that even our greatest heroes
Topple like rotten statues and crumble before
The idols of mendacity. Look no further. Lies are here. Lies are everywhere
Like “never before”.
Yes, yes, and quadruple yes!
