Okay, the fearmongering is working great. Now what?

[Deja Q]

I am scared.

I am worried.

I will do what it takes to keep breathing and drinking the nectar that is life.

I am a conformist.

I give up.

I just want the anguish to end.

I want to live and be of use to somebody.



Anybody else feel this way?

[RagAss]

1. No....if you live in fear your are of no use to anybody...

[Deja Q]

3. I've always lived in fear yet I'm able to hold a job...

so I am useful.

2. The only way to join them is....

4. I feel like a robot frog

But I don't know if that's caused by world events directly.

5. I'm Not Sure I'm Grasping What Is Is You Are Trying To Ask.

"I am scared. I am worried."

I am scared and worried to a degree, but moreso for others abroad without the means to protect themselves. I worry for us in the future when we could be in the middle of WW 3 and lord knows who will be gunning for us. Venezuala, Iran and N. Korea are givens, but why do I have premonitions of the Chinese on our soil?

"I will do what it takes to keep breathing and drinking the nectar that is life."

Sure, I'll do what it takes to keep breathing as well. After all, through all the complexities and complications we place on our existence, in the end life is merely just breathing in and breathing out. That's it.

"I am a conformist."

Can't agree with ya there. Fuck that, I never have been nor ever will be a conformist. As a great philosopher once said, I believe his name was James Hetfield, "Life's For My Own, To Live My Own Way"

"I give up."

Nope. Not me. I will never be weak enough to. When it comes down to it, all you need to do each day is wake up, breathe in, breathe out, go to sleep, and wake up again. Each day is a chance to not give up. If a day comes where you don't have the strength, no biggie. Hit pause. But someday in the future you shall wake up again, breathe in, breathe out, and be able to continue the fight. Day to day. Breathe in, breathe out, do what you can inbetween, when you can.

"I just want the anguish to end."

We all do.

"I want to live and be of use to somebody."

So do I. But I am of use to somebody. I'm of use to plenty, every single day. So are you, I'm quite certain.

Peace.

8. Can't you see the Chinese kicking back, while we dig our own grave

Buying us shovels (buying up our debt) and so on. Then when the hole is deep enough popping a cap in the back of our thick skulls? :evilfrown:

That's a very uncomfortable thought.

6. nope

The world may be going to hell in a hand basket, but I still have my pet chicken and fresh vegetables from the garden. Poor Henrietta is moulting all over the floor- it looks like a feather pillow exploded.

I am so not a conformist (of course, that is why I have a pet chicken!).

7. Your "end of the world"

Bullshit needs to stop....

:nopity:

[Deja Q]

9. I agree.

I think it's time for me to fulfil a promise I once made...

:hi:


Oh, check your PM too.

10. Skip the "conformist" thingy and you may be making a statement,...

,...about a facet of our country. They believe they are unique, too, because they ARE as unique as you and me.

Everyone wants to give up, from time to time because,...life is difficult,...it's a fact.

We all live and ARE useful,...to somebody,...in some way.

WE ALL are afraid and worry, from time to time,...if we didn't we'd be numb, inhumane, out of touch.

Feeling anguish,...take a walk, have a talk, listen, look up and breath, close your eyes and DISTANTLY observe what appears,...as if upon a screen completely disconnected from you. After those "objects" quit (because you are disconnected), then you have the power to project YOUR dreams.

What are YOUR dreams? Keep them grounded, on earth and connected with the life you HAVE.

Just reaching, for you and me and us.
