to have overtaken the American stage ... at least with Joe Biden and Jill coming onboard soon, the ugly will be wiped away and the stains will start to be cleaned up. I hope that they (The Biden admin.) will go after those that have ridiculed and ignored laws that protected the innocent, protected the environment, stole from the American people, etc. Don't give these crooks a break.

hits the fan reading something like Thoreau is soothing in a way. Or revisiting favorite quotes. It helps me put things in perspective as just a human being on planet earth.

"With so much beauty in the world, why do you choose ugly?" My second response is "I wear a mask to protect you, why won't you wear a mask to protect me?"

It’s heartbreaking. But it also makes us stop lying to ourselves.

Megalomania, corruption... Is an affront to those who are able to receive guidance and set standards from their souls. Anyone who supports Trump's calls to violence, his desire to destroy is utterly oblivious to any qualities other than egotism. Self-centeredness is no basis for a decent, functioning society.

is the realization that it was always there. I’m no Pollyanna. Far from it. I know from personal experience that there are those who revel in the pain of others. I know that there are those who consider selfishness a superpower.

What I didn’t know is that there are SO DAMN MANY of them. The kind of people who would rather throw food in the trash than give it to the hungry.

It makes me not care if I ever rejoin the world or not.

have crushed what little idealism I had left. I've become what I vowed never to be: a middle aged cynic. With the trump virus running rampant due to the selfishness of many, my heart is hardening. I don't like being like this but I just can't help it right now.

Maybe it's good to have something so obviously awful to fight against, though. This is not a couple of points of mill rate on a tax policy kind of different. It's much more of the "Who gets to live?" kind.
